Can dogs and eat avocado? The health benefits of avocados for humans have been known for years, and now your dog can experience the same great flavor and nutrients with AvoDerm dog food. While all dogs can enjoy the goodness of avocado, it can be beneficial for pups who suffer from food sensitivities, skin allergies or could use some extra gloss and shine in their coat. In addition to plenty of avocado meat and oil, other AvoDerm dog food ingredients are high-quality and nutritious to ensure that your pet isn’t getting any by-products or fillers.
You may have heard about the health benefits of avocados in recent years, but what exactly are the nutritional advantages of feeding your dog AvoDerm natural dog food? Avocados contain 18 amino acids, 20 vitamins and minerals and are a great source of omega fatty acids—also known as good fat. They’re also a good source of potassium, folate, riboflavin and vitamins A, C, E and B6. Avocados are a complete protein and can be a good alternative to canines sensitive to animal proteins.
Possibly the most significant benefit to the avocado in AvoDerm dog food lies in skin and coat health. Skin is the largest organ in humans and dogs, and their diet can cause many skin and coat problems in canines. Hair is made of protein, and the protein in avocados can help strengthen hair and help it grow. Similarly, a dog’s fur and coat require natural oils to keep them moisturized—a lack of these oils can lead to dry skin, scratching and itching. These oils are produced by converting essential fatty acids like those in avocados—but choose the wrong kind of fat to feed your pup, and their coat can become greasy and smelly. Additionally, AvoDerm dog food ingredients contain vitamins A and E, which—in the proper amounts—help maintain the health of skin cells to keep them from becoming too dry.
