Linda - I don't think you always see the irony in what I sometimes say.
No one is advising people to feed their dogs with poop and chocolate and I just want to make the point that dogs should also not be fed frozen food because, while a few peas and beans are probably as harmless as feeding them hard kibble, the scenario of new Corgi owners suddenly deciding that a quick fix meal for their Corgi is something straight out of the freezer, because they read on Go Corgi that giving Corgis frozen food is ok, concerns me.

I suppose I come from the opposite end of the scale. When Taylor was a pup, his breakfast always consisted of cereal and warmed (non-cow's) milk. I would never give him cold milk straight out of the fridge. Leading Corgi breeders in NZ (and I know this because I have contacted them all at one stage or another) all are fussy with the food they give to Corgis - especially as pups and they are another reason why I have always given my last two Corgis room temperature solid food because that is what the majority of them recommend. So meat, rice etc straight from the fridge, gets 20-30 seconds in the microwave or at least 20 minutes sitting on the bench in the kitchen. Commonsense tells me that room temperature food is more tasty than food straight out of a fridge. Then you'll say, but dogs don't have the same taste 'buds' as humans. To a large degree they do. Dogs and humans have thousands of similar genes - more similar to humans are dogs than almost any other animal. Dogs just adore most food that humans eat. And what are the worse food for humans.......? Yes, for dogs too.
