Avoderm Dry Chicken & Herring Adult Cat Food Review

This is a review of the Avoderm dry chicken & herring adult cat food. Over the past few years, I've been feeding my cats mainly grocery store food. Many of you can probably relate to that, it's cheap and convenient. Unfortunately, it's not the healthiest food for your cat. You can confirm this by reading the ingredient label on most any cat food you find at the grocery store. Cats are carnivores, yet the first ingredient is normally corn. While corn is a cheap filler for pet foods, it's obviously not the best diet for cats. Not to mention all the by-products, and artificial colors that are routinely added. When one of my cats began suffering from gastric irritation, it was the motivation I needed to try a better food. I've now been feeding my cats Avoderm dry chicken & herring adult cat food for about two weeks now, and have noticed a change.

The particular cat mentioned above had always been kind of sickly. When he was a young kitten, he had a severe respiratory infection that was almost fatal. After changing over to Avoderm, there has been a marked improvement. Not drastic, but I do see a difference. For example, he will eat the Avoderm dry chicken & herring adult cat food with a great deal of enthusiasm. He really likes it. In contrast, he had always been a very finicky eater with the grocery store cat food. It wasn't unusual for him to skip meals, and refuse to eat altogether. Before the change in food, it was not uncommon for him to vomit regularly. After being on Avoderm for a week, his vomiting has completely stopped. Lastly, I've noticed in the last few days, even his coat feels noticeably softer. These are fantastic results, and I would recommend Avoderm. However, there are other high quality cat foods that I still want to try. The reason I'm still looking for the perfect cat food, is that I'm not entirely comfortable with the ingredients in Avoderm dry chicken & herring adult cat food.

The first ingredient is chicken, along with many other wholesome ingredients. This includes nutrition packed ingredients of herring, avocados, chicken liver, and brewer's yeast. On the downside, the second ingredient in this food is "ground whole corn" and the third is "corn gluten meal". While I believe in the overall quality of Avoderm dry chicken & herring adult cat food, this is a concern. Corn is used frequently as a cheap filler in cat food, and is not that nutritious. The Avoderm dry chicken & herring adult cat food comes in 7 lb. and 14 lb. bags, and you can expect to pay about $15-$20 respectively. As you may have guessed by the name, Avoderm cat food was formulated for a healthy skin and coat. If your cat has skin allergies, dry skin, or a lack luster coat, Avoderm dry chicken & herring adult cat food may be the solution.

In conclusion, Avoderm is a quality cat food. It's highly palatable, nutritious, and excellent for cats with skin problems. However, with the corn ingredients, the formulation leaves some room for improvement.
