AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Excellent ingredient quality with chicken, bone broth, and tuna as the first three named whole-meat ingredients. Protein on a dry matter basis is 44%, which is adequate but falls short of the 55%+ ancestral target for obligate carnivores, and the 12.8% estimated carbohydrate level, while moderate, is driven by the inclusion of dried pumpkin.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Acana Adult Chicken Pâté Wet scores above the wet food average.
