AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The ingredient quality is moderate, with pork liver and chicken as the first two ingredients, but followed by rice. The protein adequacy and filler scores are low due to missing DMB data, making it impossible to assess its suitability for an obligate carnivore, and the presence of rice and potato protein suggests significant carbohydrate content. Guar gum is present as an additive.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 2,700+ dry food products, Hill's Prescription Diet i/d Kitten with Chicken scores below the dry food average.
