"My 7 month old puppy is very picky. We tried Authority large breed puppy, Natural Balance and Purina Pro-Plan before settling on the Avoderm. The Authority was okay but she didn't care for the taste. She wouldn't touch the Natural Balance. The Pro-plan was suggested by her vet but it gave her HUGE STINKY stools. Then we got samples of 10 different foods from the yuppie dog food store and did a taste test. She LOVED the taste of the Avoderm. After eating Avoderm for 2 months her coat is gorgeous. She practically sparkles. People look it her and say "Wow that's a healthy dog!" Her ribs don't stick out anymore. Her stools are solid and compact and virtually odorless (for dog poo). Also, she eats less that the recommended amount on the bag so it really isn't very too expensive. I couldn't be happier with this food!"
