AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Protein adequacy on a dry matter basis is decent at 48.4%, but the ingredient quality is severely undermined by the heavy reliance on unnamed 'meat and animal derivatives' with only a 4% named meat specifier. The presence of 'cereals' and listed 'sugars' further detracts from an obligate carnivore diet, making this a low-quality formulation masked by sufficient protein numbers.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 3,000+ dry food products, Whiskas Duo surf&turf in gelei scores close to the dry food average.
