How are Marleybones' meals made?

We only use high quality, freshly prepared ingredients, which are sealed raw in their aseptic packaging and slow-cooked, reaching temperatures of over 100°c for just a few minutes. This method not only locks in essential nutrients, moisture and natural flavours, but also keeps our meals as fresh as possible without the need for preservatives or freezing. Marleybones is the easiest way to feed healthy!

Is Marleybones suitable for puppies?

All our meals have been specially formulated for all life stages, taking the issue out of having to switch your dog's food as they grow. Our quiz algorithm adjusts so that puppies between the ages of 2-12 months receive extra nutrition to ensure they grow strong and healthy!

Do I need to freeze the food?

One of the benefits of Marleybones meals, is that you don't need to clear your freezer of ice-cream and just need to store them in a cool, dry place. As a bonus, they take up much less space than traditional food, and they're easy to stack and store. At Marleybones, we are proud to offer pantry fresh meals that remain fresh for up to 18 months when stored in a cupboard. Unlike other products that use preservatives, additives, or other undesirable ingredients that compromise the nutritional balance of the food, our innovative packaging and cooking methods help us achieve a shelf-stable product without sacrificing quality.

Why do Cardigan Welsh Corgis need special nutritional attention?

Cardigan Welsh Corgis need tailored nutrition because their build, energy, and digestion benefit from targeted dietary support.

Cardigans have a low-slung, sturdy build and a back that's longer in proportion to their height. That combination places extra demands on joints and the spine. Nutrition can help: ingredients such as glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3s support mobility and reduce long-term strain.

They're intelligent, active dogs by nature—bred to work and stay on the move. This means they need a steady source of easily digested, high-quality protein to maintain muscle tone and stamina, without excess calories that could lead to weight gain.

Because they're compact but solidly built, Cardigans can gain weight if portions aren't carefully controlled. Extra weight increases pressure on the hips and spine. Additionally, many corgis have sensitive stomachs or mild food intolerances, so simple, easy-to-digest ingredients are key for daily comfort.

What key nutrients keep a Cardigan Welsh Corgi healthy?

Cardigan Welsh Corgis thrive on diets rich in lean protein, omega fatty acids, joint support nutrients, prebiotics, and antioxidants.

Lean, high-quality protein from chicken, beef, or lamb supports the muscle tone a corgi needs for an active life. Marleybones meals such as Chic Chicken, Boss Beef, and Lush Lamb provide that protein in controlled portions designed for balance and vitality.

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids—from oily fish like salmon or added as Omega Oil—help keep joints supple and coats glossy. A recipe such as Sassy Salmon is ideal for dogs that need extra skin and joint care.

Good digestion and immunity rely on gentle fibres and prebiotics. Ingredients like chicory root and yucca support a healthy gut microbiome and steadier digestion, which is especially helpful for dogs prone to sensitivities. A mix of vegetables and herbs adds antioxidants that support both cellular health and digestion.

Lean meat for muscle strength and clean energy
Salmon and flaxseed for omega fatty acids and coat health
Chicory root and yucca for gut-friendly prebiotics
Natural glucosamine for cartilage and joint support
Vegetables and herbs for antioxidants and immune support

What practical feeding tips help your Cardigan Welsh Corgi thrive?

Consistent, mindful feeding and an active lifestyle help Cardigan Welsh Corgis stay healthy and energetic for life.

Measure portions with care and keep an eye on calorie intake. Controlling food volume prevents excess weight, protecting the spine and hips. Marleybones Pantry Fresh® meal boxes arrive pre-portioned, making it easier to serve the right amount for your dog's weight and daily activity.

Choose foods with transparent ingredient lists where the main protein is clearly stated. For most corgis, splitting their daily allowance into two meals helps maintain stable energy and smoother digestion, reducing the chance of overfeeding or sudden energy spikes.

Regular exercise—daily walks, play sessions, or light agility—keeps muscles strong and minds engaged. Monitor coat condition, energy, and stools as indicators of how their diet is working. Small adjustments in portion size or recipe typically refine the balance, but if changes persist, it's best to consult your vet.

Weigh and serve meals accurately using clearly labelled meal boxes
Feed twice daily to support energy and digestion
Pair a feeding routine with consistent walks or play sessions
Watch energy, coat, and stools as simple wellness checks
