🐾 Kimi's Expert Verdict
McAdams Puppy Free Range Chicken is one of the finest puppy kibbles we stock, and it's easy to see why. The 50% whole free-range chicken base delivers the high protein levels (27%) that growing puppies genuinely need, without relying on meat meals or concentrates to hit the numbers. The addition of DHA via salmon oil is a meaningful inclusion — brain and retinal development in the first 12 months is critical, and most budget puppy foods simply don't prioritise it. The small kibble size is thoughtfully designed for developing jaws, and the oven-baking process produces a lighter, more digestible biscuit than conventional extrusion — important when a puppy's digestive system is still maturing. RSPCA Assured sourcing, prebiotic gut support, and Green Lipped Mussel for growing joints round out an exceptionally well-considered formula. If you want to give your puppy the best possible nutritional foundation, this is our top recommendation. Highly recommended.
