AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Using the new packaging formula, the first ingredient is freshly prepared chicken, followed by dried chicken and chicken fat, providing a named-meat-rich foundation. However, the 30% as-fed protein equates to roughly 33% on a dry matter basis assuming 10% moisture, which is marginal for an obligate carnivore, and the grain-heavy rice and corn fillers inflate carbohydrates toward 35% DMB.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Harringtons Senior Cat Food with Fresh Chicken scores close to the dry food average.
