How much should a Pembroke Welsh Corgi weigh?

The ideal weight range for adult Corgis is 10–14 kg (22–31 lb), with females typically lighter at 10–12 kg and males at 12–14 kg. Body condition score matters as much as weight — a lean 15 kg Corgi with a very large frame may be healthy, while a 13 kg Corgi with poor muscle tone and buried ribs may be overweight.

My Corgi looks healthy but the vet says it's overweight. How?

Corgis' thick double coats can visually obscure excess weight. The hands-on rib and spine check is the reliable method — if ribs are hard to feel and the waist is absent, the dog is overweight regardless of how it looks fully coated. Trust the vet's palpation-based assessment.

At what BCS is a Corgi considered overweight?

On the WSAVA 9-point scale, a BCS of 6 or above indicates excess body condition. A Corgi with BCS 6 has ribs palpable only with firm pressure and a noticeable fat covering over the lumbar area. BCS 7+ indicates moderate-to-severe overweight and warrants prompt dietary and activity adjustment under veterinary guidance.
