McAdams Awards Fresh Breath Free Range Turkey with Peppermint & Apple Dog Treats – 150g

Give your dog a delicious reward while supporting their everyday oral hygiene with McAdams Awards Fresh Breath Free Range Turkey with Peppermint & Apple Dog Treats. These premium, soft-baked artisan treats combine 50% organic free-range turkey with refreshing peppermint, naturally sweet apple and carefully selected ingredients to create a tasty reward designed with fresher breath in mind.

Made with fresh, human-grade turkey sourced from high-welfare farms, McAdams Awards contain no rendered meat meal. Instead, they use quality animal protein, sweet potatoes, botanical ingredients and functional additions to create a wholesome treat your dog will love.

The recipe contains 1% apple juice, 0.5% peppermint, 2% coconut oil and 0.1% Atlantic dental algae, alongside digestive-supporting prebiotics FOS and MOS.

Unlike conventional hard dental chews, these gently baked treats have a softer texture, making them easy to break into smaller pieces for training, recall practice or everyday rewards.

Fresh Breath Dog Treats with Peppermint & Apple

McAdams Awards Fresh Breath treats are designed to combine a delicious meaty reward with naturally refreshing ingredients.

Peppermint provides a distinctive minty aroma, while apple juice adds a subtle fruity sweetness.

The recipe also includes Atlantic dental algae, a marine ingredient used in some oral hygiene products for dogs.

These ingredients make the treats an appealing addition to a dog's everyday dental care routine.

However, fresh breath treats are not a substitute for toothbrushing, veterinary dental examinations or professional treatment of dental disease.

Persistent bad breath can indicate plaque accumulation, gingivitis, periodontal disease or other health problems requiring veterinary attention.

50% Organic Free-Range Turkey

Turkey is the main ingredient in McAdams Fresh Breath treats, making up half of the recipe.

McAdams uses fresh organic free-range turkey sourced from high-welfare farms.

Turkey provides animal protein containing essential amino acids that contribute to normal muscle maintenance and other important body functions.

The manufacturer also avoids rendered meat meal, choosing fresh meat as the primary animal ingredient.

For owners looking for clearly identified animal protein sources, turkey is the only declared meat in this recipe.

However, these treats are not a veterinary hypoallergenic diet and should not be introduced during a strict elimination diet without veterinary approval.

Peppermint – 0.5%

Peppermint is the signature botanical ingredient in McAdams Fresh Breath treats.

The recipe contains 0.5% peppermint, providing a naturally refreshing flavour and aroma.

Peppermint is commonly associated with fresh breath, making it a popular ingredient in oral hygiene products.

In these treats, it contributes to the product's minty flavour profile.

It is important to distinguish between peppermint incorporated into a commercially formulated dog treat and concentrated peppermint essential oil.

Do not add undiluted peppermint essential oil to your dog's food or treats.

Apple Juice – 1%

Apple juice contributes a naturally sweet, fruity flavour that complements the peppermint and turkey.

The current recipe contains 1% apple juice.

Apples contain naturally occurring plant compounds, while the juice contributes flavour and variety.

The quantity included is intended as part of the overall recipe rather than as a therapeutic ingredient.

Atlantic Dental Algae – 0.1%

McAdams includes Atlantic dental algae in its Fresh Breath recipe to support oral hygiene.

Certain marine algae, particularly Ascophyllum nodosum, have been investigated for their potential to help manage plaque, tartar and unpleasant breath in dogs.

The effectiveness of algae-based dental products depends on the species, processing, concentration and amount consumed.

Although McAdams includes dental algae as a functional ingredient, the treats should not be considered equivalent to a clinically tested dental treatment.

For dogs with thyroid disease or iodine-restricted diets, consult a veterinary surgeon before regularly feeding seaweed-containing products.

Coconut Oil – 2%

Coconut oil contributes dietary fat and helps create the treats' soft-baked texture.

The manufacturer includes it among the ingredients selected to support normal skin and coat condition.

Coconut oil is energy-dense, so treats containing it should still be fed in moderation, particularly to dogs prone to weight gain or requiring low-fat diets.

FOS & MOS Prebiotics for Digestive Health

McAdams Fresh Breath treats contain two commonly used prebiotic ingredients.

FOS – Fructo-oligosaccharides

FOS are fermentable carbohydrates that can be used by certain beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract.

They are commonly included in pet foods to support a balanced intestinal microbial environment.

MOS – Mannan Oligosaccharides

MOS are another type of prebiotic ingredient frequently used in dog food formulations.

They can help support normal digestive function and complement the action of other dietary fibres.

Together, FOS and MOS contribute to the recipe's digestive-supporting properties.

They are not treatments for gastrointestinal disease.

Soft-Baked Treats for Training and Rewards

McAdams Awards are gently baked to create an appealing texture that can be broken into smaller pieces.

They are useful for:

• Recall training

• Obedience practice

• Rewarding good behaviour

• Agility and dog sports training

• Enrichment games

• Walks and outings

• Everyday rewards

• Treat-based bonding activities

For dogs receiving frequent rewards during training, breaking the treats into smaller portions helps manage their overall calorie intake.
