Last month I share information with you on a great line of pet food called AvoDerm. Avoderm® Revolving Menu helps pet parents avoid food sensitivities. With this special formula you can vary your pet’s proteins so they don’t develop allergies.  Plus because it’s specially formulated with a similar base your pet won’t have stomach/digestive upset when you switch between proteins.

So What is AvoDerm Revolving Menu Dog Food? AvoDerm is a high quality pet food that has meat protein as the first ingredient, contains no white potatoes or fillers, has a limited ingredient list to help minimize sensitives, and contains the nutrient rich SuperFood avocadoes. Avocados are rich in heart healthy fats and omega 3&6 fatty acids plus they are packed with antioxidants and nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, including vitamins A, C, E & B6 for optimal overall health. You give your family good food so why not give your 4 legged family member the same quality food? Little dogs, have no fear, AvoDerm is available in smaller sized kibble for little dogs as well! I love that AvoDerm Natural is made in the USA and created using California Avocados.

Want to try AvoDerm Natural?  Find a store near you to purchase AvoDerm Naturals.  If you can’t find a store near you that carries it, you can order it online at several online retailers including PetSmart.com. You can also visit your local Pet Supply store and let them know that you are interested in purchasing AvoDerm Natural food. Many local shops are happy to learn about a new brand and will consider stocking it for their customers. Those without shelf space immediately might be able to order on an as needed basis for you so check your local store.

Finding the right food for your dog or cat can be a difficult challenge, especially when they have allergies or a sensitive tummy. When we first got our lab mix, Cooper, we went through several different brands of food to try to find the right one that he would eat but wouldn’t bother his stomach.  Each time we switched foods,even if it was just a different variety from the same brand, we would have to do it slowly and introduce only a little at a time with his previous food. This made it difficult to find the right food. I was so excited to learn about Avoderm® Revolving Menu because it helps pet parents avoid food sensitivities. With this special formula you can vary your pet’s proteins so they don’t develop allergies.  Plus because it’s specially formulated with a similar base your pet won’t have stomach/digestive upset when you switch between proteins.

Revolving Menu helps pet parents avoid food sensitivities :

  • Help minimize the risk of food sensitivities by varying proteins
  • Switch proteins with stomach/digestive upset (duck today, lamb tomorrow!)
  • Grain Free, Gluten Free
  • A limited ingredient list to help further minimize sensitivities
  • Meat Protein as the first ingredient
  • No white potatoes or fillers

AvoDerm is available in smaller sized kibble for little dogs as well!

I recently started a new, healthier lifestyle for myself and my family. We are eating more fruits and vegetables, more lean protein, and more healthy fats. This includes things like coconut oil, olive oil, and one of my favorite foods, avocados. Avocados are a nutrient rich SuperFood so I was impressed to find that AvoDerm® premium dog and cat food formulas have avocado in them.  The right nutrients in the right proportions are indispensable to keeping your dog’s or cat’s skin healthy and avocados are an amazing superfood for humans and pets alike!

  • Avocados are a nutrient booster that helps pets absorb more of the nutrients they need
  • Avocados are rich in heart healthy fats and omega 3&6 fatty acids
  • Avocados are packed with antioxidants and nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, including vitamins A, C, E & B6 for overall health

Many of the nutrients your dog or cat needs for a healthy skin and coat can be found in rich amounts in the remarkable fruit known as the avocado.

avocadoYou might be worried about avocado for pets like I initially was. I had heard that avocado was toxic for dogs but here’s some information on the safety of avocado for pets.


Dr. Art Craigmill, UC Davis, Professor and Extension Specialist in Environmental Toxicology has said that his studies and other research in the United States and Australia have shown that the problem of toxicity is in the leaves and the pit of the Guatemalan variety; the avocado meat of the fruit and oils have not been shown to be toxic. AvoDerm pet products do not utilize any Guatemalan variety avocados, nor does AvoDerm use any leaves or pits of any variety of avocados for avocado meal and oil. 

Avoderm Natural is made in the USA specifically in California and created using California Avocados and high quality proteins.

Your Feline Friend Needs Love Too: How to Keep Your Cat Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Your cat is probably a fastidious groomer. Cats are very particular about their health and hygiene. If they don’t look something, boy, you will know about it! When it comes to kitty care, you need to make sure that you are doing everything that you can to keep them in tip top condition. Your cat deserves to be bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Here is how you give your feline friend the best start in life.

Maintain Their Body Weight

While it may be tempting to give your kitty human food, don’t. It’s that simple. Your cat needs to eat a diet of fish, wet meat and dry mix to remain in a healthy state. Make sure that you are monitoring your cat’s weight and not letting them get too fat. While cats may not care that they are overweight, it can have a lasting impact on their health. While you may like them all cute and cuddly, they will be prone to other diseases as a side effect of obesity. So, keep a healthy body weight for your cat and make sure that they are happy and healthy. Remember; no human treats!

Grooming Your Cat

To keep your cat healthy, you will need to groom this. This is considered the best form of tick prevention for cats. You need to brush a long haired cat at least once per day. You need to make time to comb and brush their coat. This can help you spot any parasites in their skin, and you can deal with these with immediate effect. Some cats prefer to groom themselves, and you will see them regularly cleaning and preening. But, some longer haired cats need a little help so that their fur doesn’t get matted. If you want to make your cat feel like queen kitty, seek out the services of a professional cat groomer. This will ensure that your cat’s hair is trimmed to perfection.

Gums, Teeth and Tongue

Okay, so your cat may not like you opening their mouth. But you need to take a look at their gums to make sure that they are in the best possible health. Their mouth is one of the most significant indicators that there is an underlying problem. So, check their gums for spots and bleeding. Make sure that they are not suffering from broken teeth. Check their tongue and ascertain whether it is rough and pink. If it looks different, head to the vet. Cracks in their teeth can be symptomatic of further problems. Help your kitty remain in good health and check these on a weekly basis. Any problems that you find should be followed up with a visit to your local vet. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Look Deeply Into Your Cats Eyes

This may be a little weird, but checking your cat’s eyes is imperative.  Your cat should have bright eyes, hence the phrase, bright eyes and bushy tails. If there is any gunk around their eye, clean it away. If the problem is persistent, you need to head to vets as this could be a sign of an infection.

Cruelty Free Gift Ideas For Your Pets From the ASPCA Including Some DIY Gifts #SantaPaws

Disclosure- The ASPCA sent me some toys from their online store for my furry children but I received no other compensation and all opinions are 100% my own.  I am very passionate about protecting animals.

If you’re anything like me, your pets are like your children only furrier.  We love our pets and many of us like to get our pets gifts during the holiday season.  And let’s not forget all the pet lovers on our holiday gift lists.  Studies show that over a third of Americans purchase holiday gifts for their pet.  Every year, the ASPCA encourages shoppers not to buy anything at stores that sell puppies.  You see, most pet store puppies come from puppy mills—you know, those large scale breeding operations where dogs live in horrible conditions and never receive love.  Well, every time you buy anything from a pet store that sells puppies, you’re actually supporting this very cruel industry.  Check out their holiday video below to learn about the connection between pet store puppies and puppy mills.  You can also visit No Pet Store Puppies to learn more and take the pledge to I pledge that If a pet store sells puppies, you won’t buy anything there.
Then click to tweet to share the pledge with your friends!
ASPCA behavior experts have put together some fun gift ideas for DIY enthusiasts or just those trying to cut back on costs:

~To make a tasty chew toy, soak a rope toy in chicken broth and then freeze. Once frozen, give the toy to your dog for hours of savory chewing.
DIY-cat
~For cats, rip off a piece of aluminum foil paper or tissue paper, put cat food or cat nip in it, and crumble it up into a ball. This serves a fun batting toy for hours of kitty entertainment. (I was given this idea by the ASPCA but it has been brought to my attention by a reader that tin foil might not be safe if your kitty is left unattended with the foil so use paper or tissue paper instead just in case.)  🙂
~For cats, fill plastic Easter eggs with wet cat food as a fun food puzzle.
~Rinse out an empty, cardboard milk carton, fill it with dry pet food and poke holes for a food-dispensing puzzle toy.

While doing your shopping this holiday season, don’t forget about all the pets on your list!  PetSmart has a huge selection of great gift ideas from toys and treats to fun holiday clothes.

How cute are these Disney plush squeaky toys for your favorite pooch?  Minnie Mouse, Pooh, Tigger, and more are adorably dressed in red and green with candy accent designs.  Cooper loves to squeak and play with his and I’ll admit I like to put one under his arm when he is asleep so I can take pictures.  I can’t help it.  A puppy snuggling with a stuffed animal is just too precious.

See what I mean?

Make sure to check out the Bret Michaels pet toy collection.  The plush play toy on the left side of the picture is fun for you and your dog to play with together.  He can grab one end and you can grab the other.  It reminds me of a Sesame Street type character which is cute for a Bret Michaels toy.  For the animal lover on your list why not grab Chance, the 2013 Collectible Plush Toy from the Bret Michaels collection.  When you purchase Chance part of the proceeds will go to help PetSmart Charities save homeless pets.  Plus Chance is a fun bandana wearing rocker dog with hoop earrings on his ears.  Rock on!   Not part of the Bret Michaels toy collection but equally as adorable is the Abominable Snowman plush.

Of course pampered pooches need to dress the part, too.  PetSmart has a great collection of Disney pet apparel.  Here’s a T-shirt for Santa’s Little Helper.

Look how snuggly this Mickey Mouse sweater and scarf are.

Don’t forget to add some matching accessories!  Just make sure to not leave your dog unattended with any of these items that have bells and other parts that he/she could chew off.

My favorite outfit is this Mickey Mouse red and green plaid Christmas hoodie with matching Mickey ears.  I love the Mickey Head on the back of the hoodie.  Cooper was a good sport dressing up and letting me pose him.  He makes an adorable model, don’t you think?
