What Pembroke Welsh Corgis need most from their food
The Corgi’s long back and hearty appetite make weight management a spinal-health priority:
Spinal Health
Like Dachshunds, Corgis have long backs prone to disc issues. Maintaining a lean weight reduces spinal stress — and that starts with food.
Weight Management
Lean, nutrient-dense food (not calorie-dense filler) helps maintain a healthy weight without overfeeding.
Food Motivation
Corgis are enthusiastic eaters prone to overeating. Protein-rich, satisfying food supports portion control.
Energy & Muscle
Active herding dogs need highly digestible protein for lean muscle and working energy.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for Pembroke Welsh CorgisPembroke Welsh Corgis
Pembroke Welsh Corgis combine a long back with a hearty appetite — a combination that makes weight management critical. Like Dachshunds, the elongated spine is vulnerable to disc problems, and excess body weight significantly increases the stress on it. Keeping a Corgi lean is genuinely protective, and it starts with nutrient-dense food fed in correct portions.
Freeze-dried raw is ideal: it delivers complete, protein-rich nutrition that satisfies (helping curb the breed’s tendency to overeat) without the empty starch calories of kibble. The highly digestible protein also fuels the breed’s herding energy and lean muscle. Loyal Saints provides clean, whole-food nutrition with no fillers.

The standard is King.
Loyal Saints was built because of one dog. King’s digestive sensitivities pushed Kristina Voltin to question the ingredients, processing and nutrition behind every bowl. She formulated a whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet from human-grade quality ingredients — food she felt confident feeding King every day. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?
For Pembroke Welsh Corgis owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what’s really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

For a long-backed breed, lean weight protects the spine. Protein-rich, satisfying food makes portion control achievable, while removing filler starches keeps every calorie purposeful.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep my Corgi at a healthy weight?
Feed nutrient-dense, protein-rich food in measured portions and limit treats. Protein satisfies better than starch, helping curb the Corgi’s tendency to overeat. A healthy-weight Corgi (24–30 lbs) needs about 2–2¼ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 2¼–2⅔ cups of Chicken) — measure precisely and monitor body condition, keeping the breed lean to protect the spine.
Does weight affect my Corgi’s back?
Yes, significantly. Corgis have long backs prone to disc problems, and excess weight increases spinal stress. Maintaining a lean body weight is one of the most protective things you can do for a Corgi’s back — and proper nutrition with portion control is the foundation.
How much should I feed my Pembroke Welsh Corgi?
Corgis typically weigh 24–30 lbs and need about 2–2¼ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 2¼–2⅔ cups of Chicken), split into two meals. Because the breed is weight-prone and long-backed, measure precisely and keep your Corgi lean — you should feel ribs easily.
Is freeze-dried raw good for an active herding breed?
Yes. The high-quality, highly digestible protein fuels the Corgi’s herding energy and supports lean muscle, while the nutrient density and absence of filler starches make weight management achievable for a food-motivated breed.
