"We have a large standard poodle. We have tried several of the leading foods, Wellness, Blue, Costco, Wolfking...Our standard just could not adjust to the food. Stools were often mushy. The stools on avoderm are very small and easy to clean up. The claim that it produces smaller and firmer stools is true! In addition, he kept getting yeasty ears on his left side. Since on Avoderm, he ear problem has cleaned up and stayed away!! His coat has always looked good and looks very good now. He also likes the food with a little bit of warm water (about a half cup or less). We have used the baked formula. This food is very good and has done everything we hoped. One other mention, it does not stink like all the other dog foods!!"
