AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
First ingredient is fresh chicken, but it is immediately followed by barley and maize, and the formula relies heavily on plant proteins (maize protein, maize, barley) which inflate the protein percentage. The estimated carbohydrate load is high at 37.4% DMB, driven by refined grains and maize protein in the top five ingredients, making this unsuitable as a primary diet for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Sanabelle Adult with Trout & Blueberries scores close to the dry food average.
