AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This food opens with named duck and dehydrated duck, which is a solid protein foundation, but the third ingredient is pea starch, a high-glycemic filler that undermines the carnivore-appropriate formulation. The estimated 35.3% carbohydrate content on a dry matter basis is too high for an obligate carnivore, driven by the pea starch and quinoa seed, and the 35.9% DMB protein lands in the moderate range rather than the ancestral-diet level.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, N&D Quinoa Quinoa Urinary scores above the dry food average.
