McAdams Raw Infused Medium/Large Breed: Free Range Turkey review

Name: McAdams Raw Infused Medium/Large Breed: Free Range Turkey
Brand: McAdams

67.6/100Good

DryAdult

A turkey kibble with freeze-dried raw turkey bites stirred through the bag, sitting in our Good band. That band undersells how meat-forward the analysis is: protein and fat both run high and carbohydrate runs low. The omega 3s come from algae oil, so no fish enters the recipe.

Our view

Likely to suit

Busy medium and large dogs, at 406 kcal per 100 grams
A single named animal: turkey is the only meat
Dogs kept off fish oil
Fussy eaters, with freeze-dried bites at 8% in every scoop
Owners drawn to raw who need a scoop-and-bowl morning

Worth watching

The 64.5% headline counts turkey fat and gravy with the meat
Fat at 21.1% of dry matter, so a quiet dog wants a smaller scoop
Green-lipped mussel, which matters to a home avoiding shellfish

The score, in context

Free Range Turkey 67.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The analysis argues for better; a meat headline that pools fat and gravy with the meat, and a starch with little else to give, pull it back.

What's in it

Free range turkey with turkey fat and gravy64.5%One animal, but the figure includes rendered fat and cooking liquor, so the lean share is smaller.
Freeze-dried turkey bites8%Added after baking, so they never go through the oven; they smell and taste far stronger than the biscuit.
Sweet potato25%The binder, with fibre and micronutrients on top of the starch.
Tapioca5%Starch and almost nothing else.
Lentils2%
Minerals, vegetable fibres2%, 1%
Algae oilThe long-chain omega 3, with no fish oil.
Prebiotics: FOS, MOS0.15% each
Yucca, marigold, hand cut seaweed, orange, green-lipped musselSeaweed brings iodine; the mussel is shellfish.
Camomile, carrots, cranberries, spinach, tomatoes, lavender, rosemary
