The AvoDerm brand is founded on a simple dog health principle: The quality of the dog’s fur coat reflects the quality of its health. Many people nutritionists suggest, for example, that the human body’s Vitamin C content is a benchmark reflection of overall health. In the same manner, your dog’s coat may or may not reflect how ready your pup is to take on the world. AvoDerm Natyral Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Formula Adult Dry Dog Food is designed to provide your dog with optimal health through proteins and oils, as well as an avocado supplement that will, according to the company, have your dog’s coat shiny, luxurious and healthy.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Lamb meal – maximizes the protein content of lamb meat. Since lamb meat has an abnormally high amount of water when compared to other meats, some dog foods may dilute the actual protein content of the meat. Lamb meal, however, removes the water and maximizes the protein content. This may be an indeal first ingredient for a dog food.
  • Ground whole brown rice – is a high quality grain ingredient for a dry dog food. Its carbohydrate content is superior to many grain ingredients in more common dog foods.
  • Ground whole rice – is the second rice ingredient in this dog food. Rice accounts for two of the top three ingredients of this food. As such, it is likely that there is more rice than meat. However, the grain quality of this dry dog food is still higher than average, and high grain content is common in a dry food.
  • Oatmeal – is a high quality kind of grain ingredient in pet food as well. This ingredient comes with a number of cardiovascular benefits for your pet.
  • Rice bran may be a filler ingredient, contributing to a feeling of fullness after your pet eats it.
