For the past 6 weeks, Sophie has been enjoying AvoDerm® Natural Revolving Menu dog food.

We began with a gradual switch from her previous food to AvoDerm Natural Revolving Menu Turkey recipe.  Due to Sophie's food sensitivities, I made the transition a little slower than usual.  The good news is, she had no issues during transition and has been happily gobbling up AvoDerm Natural ever since!

Sophie has been enjoying the Turkey recipe so much, that I decided to stick with it for the full 6 week trial.  She loves it, and so do I.  After all, I can see the changes to her coat.  It appears to be shinier and smoother, which says a lot for this time of year.  As our weather turns cold, Sophie's skin tends to get a little flaky and her coat sometimes feels brittle in spots. So far, we've got nothing but a healthy, smooth skin and coat!

And that makes me a happy dog Mama!

While we haven't switched Sophie's protein just yet, I feel great knowing that I can change it up and vary proteins at any time because of the way Revolving Menu has been formulated.  A rotational diet is a fantastic option for even the pickiest eaters, ensuring our dogs won't get bored eating the same 'ole, same 'ole every day.

Benefits of AvoDerm Natural Revolving Menu

• Vary your dog's protein to prevent boredom and possible food allergies
• Grain Free, Gluten Free
• Limited Ingredient (LID) list to help further minimize sensitivities
• Switch proteins without causing stomach/digestive upset
• Meat protein is always the first ingredient
• No white potatoes or fillers added

Best of all, AvoDerm Natural is made in the USA - specially in California, using only California avocadoes and high quality proteins.  I have been asked about the safety of avocado several times during our trial, and the simple answer is YES, avocadoes are safe for our dogs (the exception being the pit and skin)!  But not only are they safe, they offer big benefits as well.

Avocadoes Are a Nutrient Rich SuperFood

• Avocadoes help pets absorb more of the nutrients they need
• Avocadoes are rich in heart healthy fats and omega 3&6 fatty acids
• Avocadoes are packed with antioxidants and nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, including vitamins A, C, E & B6

Final verdict?  Sophie loves AvoDerm Natural Revolving Menu and her humans love feeding her a natural, high-quality, grain free, limited ingredient food.  Her shiny, healthy coat and smooth skin are just the results we were hoping for!

Sophie's Journey with #AvoDermNatural Revolving Menu

Last month we introduced you to AvoDerm® Natural Pet Food and their new Revolving Menu line of dog food. While it was my intention to have Teutul begin the six week trial, his pancreatitis diagnosis caused a foul and Sophie is now pinch hitting for her big brother.

  

Cleary, she was not disappointed when asked to step up to the plate and take on this six week challenge!

I was a little hesitant to put Sophie on the challenge, as she has had several food sensitivities in the past and switching food brands for her can be compared to playing roulette.  My main concern was the avocado, as my girl seems to be sensitive to many vegetables.  Then, I looked at her report and quite literally did the happy dance when I realized Avocado oil was actually one of her "green" (aka good!) food items!  We still need to be careful when it comes to proteins, however, so we started with the Turkey Recipe since she was already on a turkey-based food.

I've been vigilant in watching for any increase in itching or scratching, as well as checking her ears which seem to be one of the first signs of any intolerance. So far, I'm happy to report that everything is going wonderfully! And... Sophie loves the Revolving Menu Turkey Recipe!

Sophie's food sensitivities are not at all uncommon, as so many dogs (and dog parents) are dealing with issues these days. AvoDerm Revolving Menu is grain free, gluten free, and LID (limited ingredient diet), making it a great choice for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities!

The line was actually designed to help pet parents avoid food sensitivities. Varying your pet's proteins can help to avoid a development of allergies, and the LID formulation helps to avoid stomach and digestive upset when switching between proteins.

AvoDerm even includes Small Breed formulas in the Revolving Line... meaning there is, quite literally, a formula for nearly every dog!

 

Benefits of AvoDerm Revolving Menu

• Vary your dog's protein to prevent boredom and possible food allergies
• Grain Free, Gluten Free
• Limited Ingredient (LID) list to help further minimize sensitivities
• Switch proteins without causing stomach/digestive upset
• Meat protein is always the first ingredient
• No white potatoes or fillers added
• Made in the USA (specifically in California, using only California avocados)

We look forward to telling you more about Sophie's journey with AvoDerm Rotational Menu next month, so stay tuned!

Would you like to see your dog have a healthier, shinier, smoother coat? Join us and take the AvoDerm six week challenge!

Where to Find AvoDerm Revolving Menu

AvoDerm products are available at independent pet stores nationwide.  Click here to use the handy store locator tool. 

While we are fortunate enough to have several stores within a reasonable driving distance, we do realize that many of you may have trouble finding a local store who carries AvoDerm.

  

If you cannot find a store in your area, just ask your favorite local store if they can special order AvoDerm for you. Many local pet shops do this for customers all the time. Perhaps they don't have enough shelf space to stock every brand, or they just haven't been turned on to the benefits of AvoDerm Rotational Menu yet.

You can also purchase AvoDerm Rotational Menu through online retailers such as AvoDerm Revolving Menu at PetSmart.

#AvoDermNatural Rotational Diet Benefits

It seems as though pet sensitivities and allergies to food are more common than not these days.  As a Mom of not one, but two dogs who have these issues, I can tell you that finding the right food can often be a challenge.  And once you find that one, daring to switch formulas - even within the same brand - can sometimes be like playing roulette. 

This is one of the reasons I was so excited to learn about AvoDerm® Natural Pet Food and their new Revolving Menu line.

AvoDerm premium dog food is grain free, gluten free, LID (limited ingredient diet), and Made in the USA.  The formulas are loaded with high quality meat proteins, wholesome grains, antioxidant nutrients plus vitamins and minerals for inside health, and California avocados for healthy skin and coat on the outside.

Yes, that's right, AvoDerm is made with avocados. Perhaps you're wondering why, but the better question would be, why not?

Why Avocado in My Dog's Food?

• They are a nutrient rich Superfood and help pets absorb more of the nutrients they need
• They are packed with antioxidants and nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, including vitamins A, C, E & B6
• They are rich in heart healthy fats and omega 3&6 fatty acids

If you're wondering about the safety of avocado in your dog's food, rest assured.

"In the over 30 years since Breeder’s Choice first introduced this product line, millions of dogs and cats worldwide have consumed AvoDerm® with no negative reactions from avocado oil or meal." - AvoDerm website 

The avocado meal and oil used in AvoDerm comes from the meat of the fruit and does not contain bark, leaves, skin or the pit. The oil is extracted from ripened fruit in which the meat pulp has been separated from the skin and pit.  Then, through a mechanical process, the oil is extracted, filtered and placed into sealed containers.  The fruit pulp is dried, ground, and screened before being placed into its final packaging and shipped to the AvoDerm facility.  And, AvoDerm uses only California avocados.  

While pet parents have been happily feeding AvoDerm's many formulas to their puppies and dogs over the years, a new rotational diet has now been created to further aid in avoiding food sensitivities, especially when switching your dog's protein.  After all, just as we humans like variety in our diet, so do our dogs!  

That's why AvoDerm created the new Revolving Menu line. The recipes have been specifically formulated for the option of rotational feeding, so pet parents can feel confident giving their dogs "variety."  All of the formulas provide healthy balanced nutrition, with the base ingredients remaining the same while the proteins switch. Plus, Revolving Menu is specially formulated to avoid stomach and digestive upset when switching between the proteins.

 

Benefits of AvoDerm Revolving Menu

• Vary your dog's protein to prevent boredom and possible food allergies
• Grain Free, Gluten Free
• Limited Ingredient (LID) list to help further minimize sensitivities
• Switch proteins without causing stomach/digestive upset
• Meat protein is always the first ingredient
• No white potatoes or fillers added
• Made in the USA (which is always the first thing I look for)

With AvoDerm Revolving Menu, your dog can have chicken tonight, trout tomorrow! There are currently four regular and three small breed dry recipes available, as well as three canned recipes.  Now, Fido has options at dinner time!

Teutul will soon be experiencing a six week trial of AvoDerm.  I hope to not only see a healthier, shinier, smoother skin and coat on my boy, but to also keep his food sensitivities under control.  Stay tuned, as we will be sharing our experience with you. 

If you'd like to jump on the six week trial with us, you can find a local store near you or purchase it online (scroll down the page to see the online store links).  If you sign up for their newsletter, you will receive a coupon for $5 off!
