AI ANALYSIS

What MiauMiau's AI actually sees

The protein content at 34.1% DMB is adequate but not exceptional for an obligate carnivore. However, the estimated carbohydrate content of 37.8% DMB is very high, indicating significant filler use, and the ingredient quality is difficult to assess without a full ingredient list.

According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 2,700+ wet food products, Hill's Prescription Diet z/d Natvoer voor Katten scores below the wet food average.
