AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This food uses pork liver and chicken as primary protein sources, but also includes pork by-products and several plant-based proteins like soybean meal and corn protein meal, which are not ideal for obligate carnivores. The high inclusion of corn starch, soybean meal, and corn protein meal indicates a significant amount of plant-based fillers, and the presence of carrageenan and guar gum are notable adverse additives.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 2,700+ dry food products, Hill's Science Diet Kitten Liver & Chicken Entrée Cat Food scores below the dry food average.
