WHOLE BRITISH
CHICKENS
We use whole chickens, no meat meal and no grain
We simply take whole British free range chickens, minus their heads, feet and offal, and blend them with the finest natural ingredients to create our delicious food.
When most other dry foods claim to use ‘fresh chicken’ they are using carcasses that have been stripped of meat. You might see this referred to as freshly prepared chicken on the ingredient list.
Most pet foods, even the high-end ones use stripped chicken carcasses left over from food production, that is allowed legally to be called ‘freshly prepared chicken’ in pet foods.
We never use stripped carcass, grains or meat meal either. Meat meal is not fit for human consumption and is much cheaper than fresh meat, hence why it is used in pet food. In our opinion is it not as natural a source of protein as whole British free range chickens.
Why we don’t use meat-meal
Chicken meal is a cheap alternative to fresh chicken. It is made by boiling up the left over parts from the food process, separating the fats and the proteins, drying and crushing to create a powder used in most commercially available dog food.
It is cheap, and high in protein, but we believe the proteins and amino acids from our whole free range chickens are more natural than that from processed powders not fit for human consumption.
Thanks to the incredible amount of positive feedback from our customers, it’s proven that our high standards are well worth all the effort!
Why we keep our food grain-free
The vast majority of dry pet foods contain grains such as wheat, corn or barley. Grains in dog foods have been linked to allergies including skin conditions and stomach upsets but, due to the fact that grains are cheap and ‘bulky’, dog food manufacturers continue to use them.
At McAdams we believe that it is important to feed dogs foods which best suit their digestive make up and which are most likely to keep them strong, supple and active.
We put our emphasis on canine health above cost and ease of production. For this reason McAdams recipes never have and never will contain grain of any kind.

Some of our incredible feedback
Millie and Salme
My little Millie loves this food, which I was asked to try as the shop stopped doing the one she liked. It goes a long way as she doesn’t need big amounts!
Pancake and Laura
A very happy pancake with a new box of McAdams.
Scamp and Melissa
I’ve struggled to find a food that Scamp likes for more than a week, but 4 months on and he still loves his McAdams!
George and Harry
George and Harry are a picture of health since starting McAdams a couple of months ago. They just love the fresh baked taste and I love the fact I am giving them the best, free-range, and balanced food using whole chicken.
Chrissie and Red
My miniature dachshund Red is a little fussy with his food, he ate Nutriment (raw food) when he was a puppy and seemed to really enjoy it at first. However, when he was about 10 months old he was really poorly and ended up at the vets on a drip due to dehydration. I had a very worrying time and I believe that he was affected by food. I made the decision following this to take him off raw food and find something that he really enjoyed. This has taken quite a few different foods: a quantity of which, ended up at the local dog rescue centre!
Red is now on McAdams and really enjoys it! I split the daily amount between his two meals – morning and evening – and that seems to work for him. His teatime food is getting earlier and earlier though, I think he wears a watch sometimes!
Nina and Buddy
