AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This food starts with water and chicken, but is immediately followed by pork by-products and multiple plant fillers including corn starch, wheat flour, and soybean meal in the top ingredients. The high carbohydrate load from refined grains and legumes, combined with the presence of carrageenan and guar gum, makes this a poor choice for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Hill's Science Diet Adult Savory Chicken Entrée Cat Food scores below the dry food average.
