AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is a vague 'meat and animal derivatives' blend, with only the Chicken variety specifying 24% named meat, placing unnamed derivatives in the top five. The estimated dry matter carbohydrate content is very high at 31.7%, driven by fillers like 'derivatives of vegetable origin', 'cereals', and 'various sugars', which are inappropriate for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Hill's Science Plan Sterilised Adult Wet Cat Chicken, Salmon, Trout & Turkey scores below the wet food average.
