McAdams Raw Infused Small Breed: Free Range Turkey review

Name: McAdams Raw Infused Small Breed: Free Range Turkey
Brand: McAdams

67.6/100Good

DryAdult

The brand's turkey kibble scaled for a small jaw, with freeze-dried raw turkey pieces mixed through the bag, and it sits in our Good band. Turkey is the only animal on the list. The analysis is meat forward and unusually low in starch for a dry food.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed adults, with a biscuit sized for a little mouth
Picky little dogs. The freeze-dried pieces break up the sameness of plain kibble
Dogs kept to one animal: turkey is the only meat named
Fish-free homes, since the omega 3 comes from algae oil
Small dogs with big engines, at 406 kcal per 100 grams

Worth watching

The 64.5% turkey includes its fat and gravy, so lean meat is only part of it
A rich food at 21.1% fat on a dry matter basis; extra pieces add up fast in a small bowl
Green lipped mussel on the list, so not for a shellfish-free home

The score, in context

Free Range Turkey 67.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The analysis alone reads stronger; the drag is a meat figure that bundles fat and gravy, plus tapioca and a seasoning-level tail of plants.
