Cody loves bananas and also blueberries - I just give him a few -apple slices
also.

I have tried the canned food with him and he does not like it.

I am not keen ar all on giving dogs canned food unless it is of high quality - and there may be none on the market qualifying for this title in the USA. Almost all canned food contains a high proportion of water. Likewise, most of the dog rolls are rubbishy.

There is something wrong with Barbara's 10 percent feeding formula. What is "regular" and what isn't. Does this preclude giving your dog a varied diet. If you made the most regular thing veggies - therefore would you only give him/her 10 percent of meat. Giving your Corgi more than 10 percent of carrots seems very reasonable to me. Or more than 10 percent of cooked brown /wholemeal rice or more than 10 percent of a mixture of veggies and fruit and so on. I believe in introducing new food to puppies on a graduating scale.

Supplementing your Corgis meal with almost every vegetable and fruit imaginable is an excellent idea. There are only a few exceptions with veggies and fruit that can be toxic to dogs. These have been previously documented on Go Corgi.

Canned food can also be very good for dogs. Mostly meat, a lot of water yes but good for dogs especially those prone to kidney problems, they need the added H20.

Cindy,

I would think the California Natural and Natural Balance would be some good quality canned foods - along with some others.

Linda,
I have to agree...

It's great that you should endorse the water content in canned dog food but what you pay for is more for the water than for the meat and other products contained in the can. Then again there is absolutely no comparison between water in canned food to fresh cold water. If your Corgi does not drink sufficient fresh water - then occasionally add the fresh water yourself to his food. Watering down dry food(kibble) is a good idea anyway.
