AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Salmon, tuna, and pork liver are solid animal proteins, but wheat gluten and rice starch appear before fat sources, dragging down the ingredient quality score. Estimated dry matter protein sits around 33%, which is AAFCO-compliant but only marginally adequate for a strict carnivore; the estimated 20% dry matter carbs are driven by rice, rice starch, and powdered cellulose.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Hill's Science Diet Adult Indoor Salmon & Vegetables Stew Cat Food scores close to the dry food average.
