AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Protein comes mainly from chicken and pork by-products with liver, but the first ingredient is water and by-products dominate, earning a low ingredient quality. Dry matter protein is adequate at 43.2%, but the food relies on corn flour and modified starch, driving estimated carbs to 35.5% and lowering the filler score; carob bean gum is present as a minor additive.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Royal Canin Hair & Skin Care Thin Slices in Gravy Canned Cat Food scores below the wet food average.
