AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is unnamed 'meat and animal by-products', a low-quality protein source that fails to specify species. While the food contains no artificial additives, its 26% carbohydrate level (dry matter) and use of cereals and vegetable protein extracts are inappropriate for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,200+ dry food products, Hill's Science Plan Healthy Cuisine Kitten Ragout scores close to the dry food average.
