AvoDerm brand cat food is manufactured by a company called Breeder's Choice Pet Foods. Breeder's Choice Pet Foods is a division of the Central Garden & Pet Company. It was founded in 1947 in Irwindale, California. AvoDerm brand pet foods were first created in 1982 as a special formula for curing dog-related health problems.

Also, AvoDerm cat food formulas are marketed as being free of BHA, BHT, Ethoxyquin, or any other artificial preservatives. AvoDerm's stated reasons for using avocados in their cat food formula include the high amounjt of Vitamin A, C &E, and the possibly beneficial effects on feline skin health. AvoDerm dry at food is available in three different formulas. Each of these three formulas is available in a 3.5lb bag, a 7lb bag, and a large 18lb bag (except for the kitten formula, which currently is not offered in the 18lb bag size).

Avoderm Dry Cat Food Final Thoughts

Most consumers are satisfied with the results of feeding AvoDerm brand foods to their cats. The ingredients in the dry cat food formulas are easily identifiable, which is helpful when dealing with a cat with food allergies. However, some sources claim that the avocado meal that AvoDerm uses in all of their cat food formulas contain a potentially toxic substance called persin. Though this is not confirmed, it still may affect some pet owner's choice to purchase this brand of cat food.
