AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is water (96.5% moisture), making this a broth-based treat, not a complete food; the only named animal source is salmon at just 10%. While dry-matter protein appears very high (57.1%), the total protein is only 2% as-fed, meaning a cat would need to consume an enormous volume of liquid to obtain meaningful nutrition, and the dry-matter carbohydrate estimate of 25.7% combined with potato starch and guar gum adds unnecessary fillers and thickeners.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Garden Mix Salmon Cat Soup scores close to the dry food average.
