AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This food starts with 'Cereals' and relies on unnamed 'meat and animal by-products' and 'vegetable protein extracts' in the top ingredients, indicating low-quality, poorly specified protein sources. While the 31% as-fed protein likely places it in the marginal 26-34% DMB range, the heavy use of grains, plant proteins, and 'vegetable by-products' makes it carbohydrate-dense and poorly aligned with obligate carnivore needs.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Friskies Friskies Sterilised Salmon, Tuna and Vegetables scores below the dry food average.
