AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The ingredient quality is low due to the presence of 'Pork By-Products' and 'Corn Gluten Meal' in the top ingredients of one formula, and 'Wheat Gluten' and 'Rice Starch' in the other. The protein adequacy cannot be determined as the dry matter basis protein is not provided, which is critical for assessing suitability for obligate carnivores. The filler score is low due to the presence of 'Corn Flour', 'Powdered Cellulose', 'Corn Gluten Meal', and 'Corn Starch' in the top ingredients of one formula, and 'Wheat Gluten', 'Rice Starch', 'Powdered Cellulose', and 'Rice' in the other. The additive score is moderate due to the presence of 'Guar Gum' in both formulas.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 2,700+ dry food products, Hill's Science Diet Adult Perfect Weight Canned Cat Food Vegetable & Chicken and Liver & Chicken scores below the dry food average.
