I have the most beautiful English bulldog. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at this irresistible mug: It’s me, Baron! Note: his grandpa is the No. 3 bulldog in the country!

Naturally—since I’m his own owner—Baron has very cultured tastes: he prefers mascarpone over cream cheese, Bing cherries picked at the height of the season, and hardboiled organic chicken eggs. As we say, “Bourgie.”

We care so much about what we put into his stout little body because 1. we’re snobs and 2. bulldogs are incredibly prone to skin diseases and food allergies. In Baron’s case, he had demodetic mange, which is a congenital skin problem that is common with a lot of smooshy-faced dogs. For this reason, my fiancé—the *real* alpha male in the house—decided to switch our pupster’s kibble to AvoDerm, which I’m convinced is the brainchild of California avocado growers and Berkeley hippies.

Per AvoDerm’s own marketing spiel: “Many of the nutrients your dog needs for a healthy skin and coat can be found in the remarkable fruit known as the avocado. Nutrient rich avocados contain vitamins A, E and C in abundance. They’re also an excellent source of balanced nutritional essentials for your dog’s skin and coat health—and good health in general. Avocados are high in folate, potassium, niacin, essential fatty acids, and many other nutrients. They have no cholesterol, very little sodium, and are high in monosaturated fats. Ounce for ounce, the avocado is simply one of the most nutritious fruits there is.”

Yeah, yeah, all of that sounds good, but most importantly, my doggo LOVES his new kibble. I mean, let’s be honest, the little porker will pretty much eat or play with anything and everything. Because Avoderm is baked, my guess is that the smell reminds him of his tasty treats every time he stuffs his face into his blue ceramic Georgetown University food bowl (Hoya Saxa!).

Good stuff often comes at a high price and this hippie cereal is no exception. However, you can find good deals on AvoDerm pet food at Platrium and best of all, that 45-pound bag of kibble can be shipped to you directly. BRILLS.

P.S. Not sure if there’s a canine equivalent of “om nom nom”, but Baron emits “snorf snorf snorf” sounds when he eats…
