Vitamin Rich Avocados for Healthy Skin & Coat

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!

The Importance of Skin and Coat Conditioners
