AvoDermNatural Chicken Meal & Brown Rice Formula Large Breed Dry Dog Food, For Pet Food Allergy Support, 26 lb

We opened a new bag delivered on subscription and poured it directly into an empty/clean/airtight bin (i had just cleaned it out). Next morning found 4 weevils hanging out on the scooper and on top of the food. I got rid of them and scooped out food while checking for bugs, didn't see anymore and hoped that was it. Sure enough, next morning (after the bin was undisturbed over night), 4 more weevils sitting on the scooper and top of the food in the bin. This bag is infested, and Amazon states no returns... Understandably no one wants to return or take a return on an item like this, but I do expect a refund. And I won't be buying this food anymore.... I understand that weevils are common, but for $50, I expect for it to at least show up bug free.

We rotate feeding Avoderm, Wellness, and Royal Canin to our great pyr and red heeler. My german shepherd/husky service dog gets mostly Acana that we occasionally mix 50-50 with Avoderm. While none of them are too happy to eat only Avoderm more than 3 months straight (they only seem ok with eating Royal Canin as a forever/only diet, but they don't get excited about it), they absolutely LOVE having a bag of Avoderm every so often. If they haven't eaten it for awhile they whine for it when we get a new bag. The effect on their coat/skin health is AMAZING. My service dog gets so shiny I'm nearly blinded by her coat and everyone comments on how shiny and beautiful she is when she is eating Avoderm. The Acana keeps her shiny, sure, but not Avoderm shiny. Our great pyr has very sensitive skin but she just glows with happiness and stops itching when she has her Avoderm. All in all, I find Avoderm is best used 50/50 with another food unless we are fixing a skin issue. Avoderm makes even their stiffest, roughest, old dog hair puppy ear soft, which makes for the best cuddles ever.

Give your dog a TINY amount of this food, over many days, before committing to this blend of ingredients. This food gave all three of our big dogs loose stools. Tried entering their diet mixed with other foods several times.The last time we attempted to use this food, with about 1/3 of this mixed with other foods, one of our dogs had an accident in her crate during the night. From INSIDE THE CRATE, the 50 pound dog had an explosive accident that redecorated the crate, the carpet, the surrounding furniture, and the walls. Seriously. Two solid hours to clean it all up.I'm assuming it was the avocado, as our dogs have had several other foods containing chicken without ever having anything like the loose stools they got from this food.

I've been feeding my chocolate Labrador Retriever Avoderm chicken and rice for Adults for a couple of years now. His coat really glows with this dogfood and he feels great, so I'm not unhappy with the results. It also stopped all his 'itching' and allergies. But in the meantime he has developed serious joint problems with his front legs and my husband and I decided to try the specialty version of Avodern for large breed dogs with the additional Omega 3s, chondroiton, and glucosamine. Though our dog loves the flavor, the side affect is a very 'gassy' behavior. I'm not talking an occasional release, but constant, and the smell is so bad it runs both my husband and myself out of the room (and sometimes out of the house--he's a biiiig dog). There's no amount of 'health benefits' worth this kind of negative odor, not to mention if it smells that bad how can it be doing anything good for the dog. So we went back to the original Adult version, and what a blessing as now we can all breathe a pleasurable sigh without gagging.

I have two large dogs - a Saint Bernard and a Great Dane - that have never been hungrier than they've been since starting on this food a week and a half ago! I can't stand it! They are beginning to look at me as though I might be their next tasty morsel. My GD has never, ever counter surfed, has suddenly learned not only how to do that, but to open the bottom cabinet where the garbage can is kept. He has vomitted up napkins from there twice this week, along with houseplant leaves that until now we're never bothered. I don't care there is half a bag of food left-actually that is perfect! I'm off to my local pet store to buy a different brand to feed them PRONTO!

We’ve been using this dog food for five or six years. We have a seven year old Doberman. He loves this food. He was having some skin issues when he was around two years old(flaky skin can be typical for dobes), but he has not had any issues with his skin on this dog food, and his coat is really nice. The pic is from 4 years ago. He gets excited when the big box arrives!

I am very happy I stumbled upon this amazing food! My 5yr old yellow lab has been eating for several months now and in such a short time her skin has transformed from dry, itchy and super inflamed to soft, shiny and hardly any scratching and I've been working at this for years, trying everything and all kinds of different grain free dog food. The no white potato diet has cleared up her ear infections as well. :)

Started with the cat food for our cat. It changed her personality from timid to fun and excited. So we tried it with our dog. She loves it and has great energy! Highly recommend it!
