AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This is a difficult product to score accurately because the declared 78% moisture and dry matter basis nutritional data are missing, which is highly unusual for a 'dry' food and prevents a full nutritional assessment. If the ingredient list and macronutrients are taken at face value, the protein sources are exceptional (70% whole chicken parts), but the estimated dry matter carbohydrate content appears extremely low (<5%), which is biomechanically near-impossible for a dry extruded kibble and suggests a labeling error. Due to the missing DMB data and the fundamental inconsistency, the protein adequacy score is capped and the filler score is set at 1.0 to reflect the uncertainty.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Select Gold Hair and Skin Adult scores close to the dry food average.
