AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This 'ragout' is dominated by unnamed 'meat and animal by-products' and lists cereals and vegetable by-products before any named protein source, reflecting a heavy reliance on low-cost, low-value materials. With only 35.9% protein on a dry matter basis and an estimated 37.3% carbohydrates—driven by 'Cereals' and 'vegetable protein extracts'—it significantly underserves the needs of an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,200+ dry food products, Hill's Science Plan Healthy Cuisine Sterilised Cat Ragout scores below the dry food average.
