AI ANALYSIS

The dry formula leads with named chicken but immediately follows with brown rice and corn protein meal, driving a high plant-protein load. The wet foods start with water and contain multiple fillers like brewers rice, rice starch, and added sugar, along with guar gum and caramel color, making them far from a best-in-class obligate carnivore diet.

According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Hill's Prescription Diet with Chicken, Pâté with Tuna, Pâté with Chicken, Chicken & Vegetable, Vegetable & Tuna Stew scores close to the dry food average.
