If you recall, Cooper has been trialing the AvoDerm® Revolving Menu for the last six weeks. Need a quick refresher? AvoDerm Revolving Menu is a terrific grain-free, limited ingredient food featuring meat protein as the first ingredient and California-grown avocados as a source of antioxidants and other nutrients. While Cooper’s trial has come to an end, our life as customers of AvoDerm Naturals is just beginning.
As I’ve mentioned before, I have three dogs, each with pretty different needs. Cooper’s always had some skin issues. During most of the year, the issues are confined to his lower back (basically, his butt!). That dog uses anything as a back scratcher! Come fall, though, Cooper suffers from seasonal allergies that basically makes half the fur on his back fall out. He’s just miserable and unhappy. I don’t blame the guy, I’d be miserable too if I was itchy all the time.
When his coat did start coming back in, he was still feeling dry yet oily. Paradox, I know, but it’s possible. Pet my dog and you’ll see that it is! It was like he had oily skin but dry fur. Or maybe vice-versa? Hard to explain.
Our Six-Week Journey to Getting Cooper Back to Beautiful
When Coop isn’t dealing with skin issues, he LOVES being a blogger’s dog. He’s my go-to guy for pictures. I’m not saying he always cooperates, but if I need a dog to look at the camera, he’s usually my pooch. When he’s not feeling his beautiful self though, it’s like he’s too embarrassed. He runs from the camera. Remember how sad he looked when we first started the AvoDerm trial?
After about three weeks on the AvoDerm Revolving Menu, he was starting to look better, but still didn’t have that spark in his eyes. His fur definitely improved even in that short time though.
Now, after the full six weeks, my bud is back to photobombing pictures again! I was so thrilled when he raced out the door after he saw me grab my camera, so excited to jump in a shot or two! Oh, how he LOVES when he gets to interrupt photo shoots! Between him and the kitten, well, it takes me a while to get work done, but it brings me so much joy to see him back to his usual talkative self. He demanded that I take his picture. I kid you not, he barked until I turned the camera on him!
So I know this seems like an odd food review, but there’s a point to all this. I could simply tell you that my dog loved the flavor of AvoDerm Revolving Menu- both flavors actually. We had the Duck Recipe and the Lamb & Sweet Potato Recipe, and alternated easily between the two. As the name “Revolving Menu” implies, you can switch flavors regularly without any issues.
I could also tell you that I loved it because AvoDerm is grain-free and contains limited ingredients, so I felt really comfortable giving it to Coop. Fewer ingredients means less exposure to things that could cause allergies. Or that it’s made with dog-safe avocados from California, and that those avocados are packed full of nutrients that support your dog’s health.
These are all important things, and you can definitely learn more about them in my previous posts or on the AvoDerm Revolving Menu website. What I shared though, the little changes in Cooper’s behavior and and overall zest for life, these are the things that tell me I’m on the right track. They show me that my dog is happy, healthy and back to being my beautiful dog again. It’s not so much about the fur for me. He could be bald and I’d love him, as long as he was healthy. But a healthy coat and skin means a happier, more comfortable Cooper. That’s what I want to see! I’ll definitely continue using AvoDerm Revolving Diet for Cooper.

I’m glad Cooper seems to like the new dog food. I’m always looking for healthier alternatives.
Cooper looks awesome and love that he likes his food. It sounds like a great brand.
What a cute dog–and name! Our dog is pretty particular with what food she eats, so I’m thankful we found something great already. Hopefully this helps more dog owners find the right food.
I had not heard of Avo Derm before. This may be a good option for my daughter’s dogs.
Wow! It’s amazing what food can do, even to our pets. This is really great!
Aww it sounds like Avoderm helped him a lot! It’s good to see him happy and healthy! Avocados are amazing!

Your dog is adorable and he seems to really like his food. I’d like to get this for my fur babies.
I have yet to try AvoDerm for my fur-baby. He loves his current dog food right now, but I think a little variety won’t hurt. Thanks for letting me know about how great a product this is.
So glad to see Cooper is happy and from the pictures he seems very happy
What a cute pup you have! These look like great products for all dogs!
Aw I’m glad he’s back to photo bombing photos. He’s a beauty.
That is so interesting the ingredients. I love that dog food has come so far.
He looks like he loves the food a lot, I’ll have to have m dad give this to my dog sometime.
Totally misread this and thought you said you were going to give it to your dad. I clearly need more coffee, lol! Yes, though, Coop does love his Avoderm!
You dog is adorable. I had no idea that there could be possible issues in switching flavors of foods. It sounds like Avoderm is a great solution for that…
What a cute pup! I’ve heard such great things about Avoderm too.
Thanks! He thinks he’s pretty cute again too. Busting into all the pictures again! LOL. Avoderm really is fantastic!
awwww your puppy is so adorable! What a cutie!
