AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Lean whole meat as the first ingredient drives a truly exceptional dry-matter protein level (81.2%), but ingredient quality is held back by refined rice appearing in the top three and by the absence of a second animal protein in two of three varieties. The food contains no artificial additives, and although the rice is a unnecessary plant filler, the overall carbohydrate content remains extremely low at 5.6% DMB.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Encore Cat Gravy Pouch Mix Fish Selection (3 Varieties) scores above the wet food average.
