McAdams | Grain Free Dry Dog Food | Medium/Large Adult Sensitive | Free Range Turkey 2kg

McAdams Grain Free Sensitive Dry Dog Food – Free Range Turkey – Medium/Large Adult – 2kg

Give your dog premium nutrition with McAdams Grain Free Sensitive Free Range Turkey Dry Dog Food, a complete, gently oven-baked diet specially developed for medium and large breed adult dogs with sensitive digestion or ingredient intolerances.

Made with 64.5% whole British free-range turkey, turkey fat and gravy, this carefully formulated recipe uses turkey as its only declared animal meat source, avoiding chicken, beef and other commonly used meat ingredients.

McAdams sources its free-range turkey from RSPCA Assured farms, prioritising high animal welfare standards alongside exceptional ingredient quality.

Unlike many conventional dry dog foods, McAdams uses fresh meat rather than rendered meat meal. Its specially developed baking process allows the manufacturer to incorporate a high proportion of fresh turkey while producing a delicious, complete dry food.

The recipe combines turkey with 25% sweet potato, 6.5% tapioca, algae oil, FOS and MOS prebiotics, hand-cut Irish seaweed and New Zealand green-lipped mussel.

With no cereal grains, meat meal or fish oil, McAdams Sensitive Turkey offers a carefully selected ingredient profile for dogs whose owners wish to avoid particular dietary ingredients.

Each 2kg bag provides a convenient introduction to this premium diet, particularly for dogs trying McAdams for the first time.

Specially Developed for Dogs with Sensitive Digestion

Some dogs experience digestive discomfort or adverse reactions associated with particular ingredients.

Symptoms may include:

• Recurrent loose stools

• Excessive flatulence

• Occasional digestive upset

• Poor tolerance of certain foods

• Skin irritation associated with dietary sensitivities

• Itching associated with food allergies

McAdams Sensitive Turkey is formulated with a focused selection of ingredients and a single declared animal meat source.

The recipe avoids several commonly used ingredients, including chicken, beef, cereal grains and fish oil.

It also contains FOS and MOS prebiotics to support normal digestive function.

However, not every digestive or skin problem is caused by food intolerance. Persistent symptoms should be investigated by a veterinary surgeon.

McAdams Sensitive Turkey is not a veterinary hydrolysed or novel-protein elimination diet, and it should not be used as a diagnostic food allergy trial unless specifically approved by your vet.

64.5% British Free-Range Turkey Ingredients

McAdams places free-range turkey at the heart of its Sensitive recipe.

The manufacturer declares:

Whole British Free Range Turkey with Turkey Fat and Gravy (64.5%)

This figure refers to the combined turkey ingredients, rather than boneless turkey meat alone.

The manufacturer separately describes using a high proportion of fresh boneless turkey in its sensitive food.

Turkey provides animal protein containing essential amino acids needed for:

• Muscle maintenance

• Tissue repair

• Normal immune function

• Healthy skin and coat

• Enzyme and hormone production

• Everyday body maintenance

Turkey is the only declared animal meat source in the recipe.

This may make the food appealing to owners whose dogs tolerate turkey but need to avoid chicken or beef.

However, dogs with confirmed turkey allergies should not be fed this product.

RSPCA Assured Free-Range Turkey

McAdams places particular emphasis on the welfare of animals used in its pet food.

The manufacturer states that its dry foods use meat and fish sourced from RSPCA Assured farms.

The RSPCA Assured scheme assesses participating farms against specified animal welfare standards.

Choosing free-range turkey from these farms reflects McAdams' focus on traceability and responsible sourcing.

Why Choose a Turkey-Based Sensitive Dog Food?

Turkey is an alternative to chicken, beef and lamb in dog food formulations.

For some dogs with confirmed adverse reactions to other animal proteins, a turkey-based recipe may provide a suitable everyday option.

However, turkey is not universally hypoallergenic.

Dogs can develop allergies to any dietary protein, including turkey.

Chicken and turkey are different species, but cross-reactivity between poultry proteins can occur in some allergic dogs.

For this reason, a dog with a confirmed chicken allergy should not automatically be assumed to tolerate turkey.

25% Sweet Potato

Sweet potato is the second-largest ingredient in McAdams Sensitive Turkey.

It contributes carbohydrates, fibre and naturally occurring nutrients.

Sweet potato is frequently used in grain-free dog foods as an alternative to cereals.

The recipe contains 25% sweet potato, providing an important energy source alongside the turkey ingredients.

6.5% Tapioca

Tapioca is a starch derived from cassava.

It is used in pet food as a carbohydrate source and helps create the structure of dry biscuits.

The recipe contains 6.5% tapioca.

Together with sweet potato, it provides carbohydrates without requiring wheat, maize or rice.

Algae Oil – An Alternative to Fish Oil

Many premium dog foods use salmon oil or other fish oils as sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

McAdams Sensitive Turkey instead contains algae oil.

Certain algae oils provide marine omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA, without using fish oil.

This can be useful for owners seeking a food without salmon oil.

The manufacturer's current analysis declares:

Fatty Acid Group	Percentage
Omega-6	1.5%
Omega-3	0.6%

Omega fatty acids contribute to normal skin and coat condition and support several important physiological functions.

The manufacturer does not separately declare EPA or DHA concentrations for this recipe.

Important: Although the food does not list fish oil, it contains New Zealand green-lipped mussel, which is a shellfish ingredient. It is therefore not suitable for dogs requiring a strictly shellfish-free diet.

FOS and MOS Prebiotics for Digestive Health

McAdams Sensitive Turkey contains two prebiotic ingredients.

FOS – Fructo-oligosaccharides (0.15%)

FOS are fermentable carbohydrates that can be used by certain beneficial intestinal bacteria.

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

MOS – Mannan Oligosaccharides (0.15%)

MOS are another type of prebiotic ingredient frequently used in complete dog foods.

They support normal digestive function and complement other dietary fibres.

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

They are not treatments for inflammatory bowel disease, chronic enteropathy or other gastrointestinal conditions.

New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel for Joint Support

Medium and large breed dogs may place considerable mechanical demands on their joints, particularly during exercise.

McAdams Sensitive Turkey includes New Zealand green-lipped mussel as part of its nutritional formulation.

Green-lipped mussel naturally contains marine lipids, glycosaminoglycans and other compounds that have been investigated for supporting joint health.

The manufacturer does not declare a specific percentage or concentration of green-lipped mussel in this recipe.

It should therefore be considered a supportive ingredient rather than a guaranteed therapeutic dose.

Dogs with osteoarthritis or persistent lameness should receive veterinary assessment and appropriate treatment.

Hand-Cut Irish Seaweed – 0.03%

McAdams includes 0.03% hand-cut Irish seaweed.

Seaweed provides naturally occurring marine nutrients and trace elements.

It also contributes to the recipe's range of botanical and marine ingredients.

Because seaweed may contain iodine, owners of dogs with thyroid conditions or iodine-restricted diets should consult their vet before changing food.

Botanical Ingredients and Natural Antioxidants

The recipe contains a carefully selected blend of plant-derived ingredients, including:

• Dried marigold

• Dried orange

• Camomile

• Carrots

• Cranberries

• Spinach

• Tomatoes

• Lavender

• Dried rosemary

These ingredients contribute natural plant compounds, flavour and variety.

The recipe is also preserved using mixed tocopherols, which are antioxidant compounds related to vitamin E.

The botanical ingredients are included in small quantities and should not be regarded as therapeutic treatments.

Gently Oven-Baked Rather Than Extruded

McAdams uses a gentle oven-baking process to produce its dry dog food.

Conventional dry dog foods are often manufactured using extrusion, which combines heat, moisture and pressure.

McAdams instead bakes its biscuits in warm-air ovens.

The manufacturer highlights this process as a way of producing a distinctive flavour and texture while incorporating a high proportion of fresh meat.

Oven-baking is a different manufacturing method, although it does not automatically make a food nutritionally superior to every extruded alternative.

Grain-Free and Meat Meal-Free

McAdams Sensitive Turkey contains no cereal grains such as wheat, maize or rice.

It also contains no rendered meat meal.

Instead, the recipe uses fresh turkey ingredients, sweet potato, tapioca, lentils and carefully selected nutritional additions.

Grain-free feeding may suit some dogs, but grain-free diets are not inherently better for every animal.

Dogs with suspected food allergies should be assessed individually, and veterinary guidance is recommended when choosing a restricted-ingredient diet.
