worth the price
Date: November 7, 2009
"Big difference for the price. Both our rescue dogs' coats gleam with shine and look remarkably healthy. Both dogs are full of energy. One of our dogs, a Chihuahua/Italian greyhound mix, was balding on her neck and constantly itching. She looked immaciated when we first got her home. Even the vet couldn't figure out why she was still bald after having her and feeding her for over a month. Both the Animal Regulation and the vet said another food brand was good. But she wasn't getting better. So we changed to this. I picked this brand because it was recommended by the maker of another brand we used with our other dog many years ago I liked because it had similarly natural ingredience. After only about three months our dog's neck-fur is almost all grown back and she's scratching less. Butterfly is kind of picky but when we wet the dry food with hot water or meat drippings both dogs gobble it up. Plus the bag usually comes with a coupon for your next bag. Note: I also had to follow up with hypo allergenic shampoo for our allergic dog."

We'll see
Date: October 10, 2009
"I have 2 German Shepherds which are known for sensitive stomachs. They also have allergies and develop "hot spots". I just started this product and the first thing I noticed...they would eat it dry! I have always had to mix canned food with their dry but they actually liked the taste of this right out of the bag;) I'll still add canned (they are spoiled) but seems to be off to a good start. I'll know more in a few weeks..hopefully positive!"

PAYING FOR ALOT OF RICE
Date: May 14, 2009
"My two dogs did not like this food. Hard time getting thru just half a bag. Yes, first ingredient is chicken meal, however, three of the first five ingredients are rice. 3 out of 5. You are paying for different forms of rice, but still rice.Cheap filler, little meat protein.Lableling like this fools people. 4 carbs to 1 protein. Why all this rice? cheaper to make and easy to fool. This is a high grain food."

Best Food Ever!!!
Date: July 22, 2008
"We have a boxer who is highly allergic to wheat. After trying many different foods, we found this one and it made all the difference. He doesn't itch or bite his toes anymore and his coat is shiny and smooth. We have been using this product for over two years now and he continues to love the food. I'm so glad that it is more widely distributed now."

Can't be this
Date: January 29, 2008
"My scottish terrier had terrible allergies. I switched him to holistic. Over a 7 month period. I switched him to five different holistic foods. Each time after awhile, he would be back to itching terribly and turning his nose up at the food. I then tried Avoderm food. He eats with gusto and he doesn't itch any longer. I can't recommend this food enough. Give it a try and see for yourself."

Excellent Food
Date: January 21, 2008
"This food is the best my dog's have had by far. It has given them the softest coat. They don't over eat. You can give them the serving sugggested amount and they are satisfied with it. Their skin has no dryness, it has not been this smooth eating any other food. I highly recommend it to anyone that has a dog with allergies. I have tried both the Lamb and the Chicken and my dogs Love both of them."

AvoDerm
Date: January 6, 2008
"I have always fed premium foods. My dogs coats have never looked so beautiful after 4 weeks on this food. My dogs play in the yard, swim, herd sheep, they get dirty (good dirty), their coats shine thru dust & dirt. My Border Collie, Riot is the pickiest eater, dives into his food, he's never eaten so good in his life. They all have boundless energy. I have never seen such a difference switching from one brand to another. IMO best food ever."

Avoderm ... Tradeoff
Date: November 15, 2007
"I can say that the food HAS cut out Sadie's vomitting issues.. but, I have to add fresh cut, organic green beans for her to even go near it! It seriously smells like paint thinner. Natural Ingredients smell that bad?"

Fantastic
Date: October 6, 2007
"We recently switched our standard poodle from all Nutro Products, because she developed tummy issues after she would eat. She has been on Avoderm for a month now, and the difference was immediate. No tummy issues whatsoever. By far this is one of, if not the best foods out there ! She Loves the food & the treats!"

One of the better ones out there
Date: October 5, 2007
"This is the best one by Avoderm and one of the better ones out there that's widely available. Although a bit more expensive, you will only need to feed smaller portions to give your dog the needed calory intake. This is waaay more nutritious than almost all other dog foods that are equally widely available. Since it has more nutritional value, you can feed less and save that way :) OR check out Nutra Max for another good dog food that's slightly less money."
