AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Strengths: First ingredient is fresh poultry meat (30%), and the only technological additives are natural tocopherols and lecithin, keeping the additive profile clean. Concerns: Moisture content is not listed, so dry matter protein cannot be verified, but the 22% as-fed protein suggests DMB protein likely falls below 26%, while high-carb fillers like amaranth (15%), potato starch, and pea flour push estimated DMB carbohydrates well over 40%.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Leonardo Adult Grain-Free Poultry scores close to the dry food average.
