AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
While turkey is the first ingredient, the presence of pork by-products and soy protein isolate high on the list reduces the overall protein quality. The estimated carbohydrate content is likely high due to ingredients like corn protein meal, corn starch, and whole grain corn, which are not ideal for an obligate carnivore. The inclusion of carrageenan and guar gum also detracts from the additive score.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Hill's Kitten Savory Turkey Entrée scores close to the dry food average.
