AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is water, and the top protein sources (pork liver, beef) are followed by pork by-products and carbohydrate fillers like wheat flour and corn starch. The formula relies on multiple grains and plant proteins for bulk, the dry matter protein cannot be confirmed due to missing moisture data, and carrageenan with multiple gums is a concern for digestive irritation.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Hill's Science Diet Adult Savory Beef Entrée Cat Food scores below the dry food average.
