AI ANALYSIS

What MiauMiau's AI actually sees

Protein DMB is analytically solid at 46%, but ingredient quality is dragged to a 1.0 because 'meat and animal derivatives' lead the label with no named meat source at all. The estimated 20.5% carb load plus vague 'cereals' and 'derivatives of vegetable origin' indicate filler padding, and the required EU-labeling ambiguity means guilty-until-proven-innocent on additives for a therapeutic line.

According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 2,700+ wet food products, Royal Canin Digestive Care Airlift (mousse) scores below the wet food average.
