AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Dry matter protein is unknown (label omits moisture), preventing a proper DMB score, but the 37% as-fed protein is moderate and likely below ancestral-diet targets once converted. Positives: named fresh salmon leads, taurine is added, and artificial preservatives/colors are absent. Concerns: yellow peas are 3rd ingredient, chickpeas, pea protein, and pea flour all appear, indicating significant legume-based protein padding that inflates the protein figure and drives estimated carbohydrate content higher than ideal for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Carnilove Adult Salmon & Turkey scores close to the dry food average.
