Specially Formulated for Small Breed Dogs with Sensitive Digestion

Small dogs can have particular feeding preferences, including smaller biscuit sizes and carefully measured portions.

Some also experience digestive upset or adverse reactions to certain dietary ingredients.

McAdams Sensitive Small Breed Turkey is formulated with a focused selection of ingredients, avoiding several commonly used animal proteins and cereal grains.

The recipe uses turkey as its only declared meat source, alongside sweet potato, tapioca and selected botanical ingredients.

It may appeal to owners of small dogs experiencing:

• Poor tolerance of particular foods

• Occasional digestive sensitivity

• A preference for turkey-based diets

• Difficulty managing larger biscuits

• A need to avoid chicken or beef ingredients

• A preference for grain-free nutrition

However, persistent vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, excessive flatulence or itching should be investigated by a veterinary surgeon.

McAdams Sensitive Turkey is not a veterinary hydrolysed or diagnostic elimination diet.

64.5% British Free-Range Turkey Ingredients

Turkey is the main ingredient in McAdams Sensitive Small Breed.

The manufacturer declares:

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

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

Turkey provides animal protein containing essential amino acids required for:

• Normal muscle maintenance

• Tissue growth and repair

• 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 makes it an alternative for some dogs that need to avoid other meat ingredients, although turkey is not universally hypoallergenic.

RSPCA Assured Free-Range Turkey

McAdams places particular emphasis on responsible animal sourcing.

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

RSPCA Assured is an animal welfare assurance scheme that assesses participating farms against specified welfare standards.

Choosing turkey from these farms reflects McAdams' focus on animal welfare and traceable ingredients.

Why Turkey for Sensitive Dogs?

Turkey is an alternative animal protein to chicken, beef and lamb.

Some dogs with confirmed adverse reactions to particular proteins may tolerate turkey-based diets.

However, food allergies are individual.

A dog allergic to chicken may also react to turkey because cross-reactivity between poultry proteins is possible.

Dogs with suspected food allergies should receive veterinary guidance, particularly when a strict elimination diet is required.

Small-Breed Oven-Baked Biscuits

McAdams Sensitive Small Breed is designed with smaller dogs in mind.

Its biscuits are intended to be easier for small mouths to manage than larger-breed kibble.

The manufacturer uses warm-air ovens to gently bake the food rather than relying on conventional extrusion.

This produces a distinctive biscuit texture and roasted flavour.

The smaller kibble may be particularly convenient for breeds such as:

• Chihuahuas

• Yorkshire Terriers

• Toy and Miniature Poodles

• Pomeranians

• Papillons

• Miniature Schnauzers

• Shih Tzus

• Bichon Frises

• Small mixed-breed dogs

The food's suitability depends on the individual dog's age, nutritional requirements and ability to chew comfortably, rather than breed alone.

25% Sweet Potato

Sweet potato is the second-largest ingredient in the recipe.

McAdams includes 25% sweet potato as a grain-free carbohydrate source.

Sweet potato contributes energy, dietary fibre and naturally occurring plant nutrients.

It is frequently used in grain-free dog foods as an alternative to wheat, maize and rice.

6.5% Tapioca

Tapioca is a starch derived from cassava.

It contributes carbohydrates and helps create the structure of the oven-baked biscuits.

The recipe contains 6.5% tapioca.

Together with sweet potato, it provides carbohydrate sources without using cereal grains.

Algae Oil for Omega Fatty Acids

McAdams Sensitive Turkey uses algae oil rather than salmon oil.

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

Omega fatty acids contribute to:

• Normal skin function

• Healthy coat condition

• Cell membrane structure

• Normal physiological processes

The manufacturer's current analysis declares:

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

The precise EPA and DHA concentrations are not separately declared.

Although the recipe contains no listed fish oil, it does contain New Zealand green-lipped mussel, which is a shellfish ingredient.

FOS and MOS Prebiotics for Digestive Health

McAdams Sensitive Small Breed contains two prebiotic ingredients.

FOS – Fructo-oligosaccharides (0.15%)

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

They help support a balanced intestinal microbial environment.

MOS – Mannan Oligosaccharides (0.15%)

MOS are commonly included in dog foods to support normal intestinal function.

They complement dietary fibre and other digestive-supporting ingredients.

Together, FOS and MOS contribute to the recipe's focus on digestive health.

They are prebiotics, not live probiotic bacteria.

New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel for Joint Support

McAdams Sensitive Small Breed includes New Zealand green-lipped mussel.

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

Although often associated with large dogs, maintaining joint health is important for small breeds too.

The manufacturer does not publish a specific inclusion percentage for green-lipped mussel in this recipe.

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

Hand-Cut Irish Seaweed – 0.03%

The recipe includes 0.03% hand-cut Irish seaweed.

Seaweed provides naturally occurring marine nutrients and trace elements.

Dogs with thyroid disease or iodine-restricted diets should have seaweed-containing foods assessed by their vet.

Carefully Selected Fruits, Vegetables and Botanicals

McAdams includes small quantities of plant ingredients, including:

• Marigold

• Dried orange

• Camomile

• Carrots

• Cranberries

• Spinach

• Tomatoes

• Lavender

• Rosemary

These ingredients contribute flavour and naturally occurring plant compounds.

They are not included at declared therapeutic doses and should not be considered treatments for medical conditions.

Grain-Free and Meat Meal-Free

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

Instead, it uses sweet potato, tapioca, lentils and other selected ingredients.

The recipe also contains no rendered meat meal.

Grain-free feeding may suit some dogs, but grain-free diets are not automatically healthier than grain-inclusive diets.

For dogs with suspected food allergies, veterinary-directed dietary trials are more reliable than simply removing grains.
