Fresh Food for Pembroke Welsh Corgis
The Pembroke Welsh corgi has gained popularity (and internet fame) due to its infectious smile, tall ears, and long body on tiny legs. But, like their slightly larger cousins, Cardigan Welsh corgis, Pembrokes are highly intelligent working dogs, and need plenty of mental and physical stimulation. They were originally bred to herd cattle, and, even far from the farm, corgi owners will report that their dogs love to keep their human herd together.
Both types of corgis love spending time with their people and burning off energy through vigorous play, or dog sports like agility. Keep their little legs in mind if you’re running or biking, though, and look out for that long back by preventing jumps from furniture.
A diet of fresh dog food for your Corgi is the best way to support their health and happiness—along with daily exercise, regular vet care, and many loving companions to herd.
What’s the best dog food for Pembroke Welsh corgis?
A diet of fresh dog food for your Pembroke Welsh corgi contributes to a healthy, active life, and could help stave off some of the ailments common to this breed.
Why fresh is best for your Pembroke Welsh Corgis
Highly processed kibble can contribute to many issues that can compromise your Pembroke Welsh Corgis’s health. Recipes from The Farmer’s Dog are made with fresh, human-grade ingredients, steamed to retain nutrients, and pre-portioned to help maintain weight.
Feed Fresh TodayMaintain a healthy weight
It’s critically important to avoid overfeeding any dog, big or small. Being even a little overweight can increase your Pembroke Welsh corgi's odds of developing a host of diseases like arthritis, diabetes, and even cancer. A fresh-food plan, tailored to your dog’s needs, and delivered in pre-portioned packs, makes weight maintenance easy.
Dial up dental health (and fresh breath!)
For dogs like Pembroke Welsh corgis, who may be prone to dental disease, don’t look to a dried pellet to clean teeth. Kibble is an ultra-processed food—it sticks to teeth, contributing to plaque, and it can contain substances that actually fuel inflammation in the tissues of the body, including the mouth. Eating for dental health means eating for overall health. A fresh, whole-food diet promotes a healthier immune system, which helps ward off dental infections—and it doesn’t stick to teeth.
Provide nutrients that can reduce the odds of cancer
There’s no sure way to eliminate the risk of cancer, but there are things you can do to give your Pembroke Welsh corgi the best chance at more healthy years: Keep them lean, avoid heavily processed foods that may contain preservatives and carcinogens, and feed them a fresh diet that can help reduce inflammation. Dietary antioxidants—like those found in fresh vegetables— are
Protect joints
Pembroke Welsh corgis are prone to joint issues. Maintaining a lean body condition can help. And fresh food from The Farmer’s Dog contains Omega-3 fatty acids, proven to reduce inflammation and improve arthritis. Even if kibble contains these healthy fats, they can go rancid sitting on the shelf for long periods. Rancid fats don’t deliver the intended health benefits, and in fact can contribute to inflammation. Fresh food delivers these powerful nutrients intact to your Pembroke Welsh corgi.
