AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Good dry-matter protein at 50% and whole chicken first, but protein quality drops significantly from chicken and pork by-products in the second and third ingredient spots. The inclusion of carrageenan and fillers like brewers rice flour and wheat gluten raises concerns about digestibility and unnecessary plant content.
