AvoDerm Natural Chicken Meal, Brown Rice & Oatmeal Formula Senior Adult Dog Food

Healthy Skin and Coat on the Outside Healthy Dog on the Inside
As dog lovers and experienced dog owners ourselves, we know that the condition of a dog's skin and coat is frequently a reflection of overall health. Poor skin health can sometimes be traced to dietary insufficiencies or imbalances. Problems with the skin and coat are never just cosmetic. Symptoms such as hair loss, thinning coat, dullness, dry flaky skin, excessive scratching, thickened skin, infections, and odors can often be traced back to either a shortage or an excess of a specific nutrient. In fact, there is no more visible indicator of problems with your dog's overall health than problems with the skin and coat. The right nutrients in the right proportions are indispensable to keeping your dog healthy.

Why Avocados?
Many of the nutrients your dog needs for a healthy skin and coat can be found in the remarkable fruit known as the avocado.  Nutrient rich avocados contain vitamins A, E and C in abundance.  They're also an excellent source of balanced nutritional essentials for your dog's skin and coat health—and good health in general.  Avocados are high in folate, potassium, niacin, essential fatty acids, and many other nutrients. They have no cholesterol, very little sodium, and are high in monosaturated fats. Ounce for ounce, the avocado is simply one of the most nutritious fruits there is. We created AvoDerm Natural formulas with California avocados so your dog could have a healthy skin and coat on the outside—and to keep them healthy on the inside.  Our AvoDerm Natural formulas put your dog on the right nutritional track, and keep them there.  Since 1947, we've invested our best resources developing the finest in wholesome and natural pet foods. Put our quality, innovation, and dedication to work for you and your loyal companion—put your trust in AvoDerm Natural!

Proven Formulas with Quality Ingredients
AvoDerm Natural Senior provides quality protein sources that are ideal for older adult dogs. We added chicken cartilage, a natural source of chondroitin and glucosamine, to help maintain healthy joints. We use only quality ingredients in all our formulas to provide healthy, balanced levels of protein, fat, and nutrients for adult dogs—we never use by-products. High quality ingredients eliminate the need for unnecessary preservatives and additives—things your dog's diet definitely doesn't need. We use only vitamins E & C to ensure freshness and palatability in our foods. Feed AvoDerm Natural regularly to sustain the highest level of nutrition for your  dog from the inside out.  

The Importance of Skin and Coat Conditioners
Your dog's skin and coat perform many tasks vital to your dog's survival—like providing warmth, maintaining body temperature, and protecting against parasites. Your dog's skin and coat are subject to constant attack and have some exceptional nutritional needs in order to protect and maintain your dog's health. You want your dog to feel good and look good, so we use the finest coat conditioners—like avocado oil, flax seed, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and essential fatty acids—to ensure your dog's skin and  coat are healthy, glowing, and beautiful. In fact, most dogs that are fed a healthy diet of AvoDerm Natural show improvement in just 4–6 weeks...we guarantee it!

Lower Stool Volume Benefits Everyone
Let's face it; cleaning up your dog's waste doesn't exactly qualify as quality time. We know you'd rather spend time having more fun with your dog. AvoDerm Natural provides your dog with high digestibility, using enzymes to help facilitate the digestive process.  Enzymes in the food also help your dog's system absorb more vitamins and minerals. The results are lower stool volume and better nutrition for your dog—and less clean up for you!
