AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
First two ingredients are named whole meats (Water and Duck), but Duck Liver is in position 2 after water and the third ingredient is the legume Green Peas, with Pea Protein further padding plant protein content. The as-fed protein is 38.5%, but moisture is omitted on the label, forcing a conservative DMB estimate; the presence of powdered cellulose and Brewer's Dried Yeast signals fiber and palatability fills rather than muscle meat gain, while Dextrose (added sugar) is present.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Hill's Prescription Diet d/d Duck Recipe Wet Cat Food scores close to the wet food average.
