AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is unnamed 'meat and animal by-products,' and the second is 'vegetable protein extracts,' signaling low-quality, ambiguous protein sources. While no additives are listed, the absence of moisture data means dry matter protein cannot be confirmed, and the plant protein padding likely raises the carbohydrate load, making this a poor fit for a strict carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Royal Canin Hair and Skin in Jelly scores below the dry food average.
