AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The primary protein source is poultry meal, which is acceptable, but the inclusion of only 4% turkey within that meal is low. The food contains a high proportion of grains, with wholegrain maize, rice, wholegrain wheat, and maize dominating the top ingredients, indicating a significant amount of low-value carbohydrate filler for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 2,700+ dry food products, Burgess Mature Cat with Turkey & Cranberry scores close to the dry food average.
