Default canine constipation

My corgi gets constipated. I am going to take him to the vet, but am
wondering what I can do to help him along. I feed him a mix of Pedigree dry
food with a little "dog" food (also Pedigree) in a mix twice a day. Most
days, I just give them dry food in the morning. Always has plenty of water.

Suggestions appreciated.


Canned pumpkin, the solid pack pureed kind, not the premixed pumpkin pie
filling. My three dogs (2 BCs & a jrt) split a 15 oz can mixed with
their supper kibble, roughly in proportion to their weights. They like
the taste of it and it helps them feel full in addition to encouraging a
hearty early morning dump.

You don't mention whether your corgi is a Pembroke or a Cardigan. I've
noticed that some dogs with extremely docked tails have difficulty
defecating, so much so that I've begun to wonder if the docking might
cause damage to the muscles and/or nerves supplying the anus and rectum
leading to difficulty in eliminating.
