AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This food scores poorly due to its primary protein source being hydrolyzed soy protein isolate and the first ingredient being rice flour, which are not appropriate for obligate carnivores. The lack of DMB protein data and the high estimated carbohydrate content from rice further detract from its nutritional value for cats.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 2,700+ dry food products, Royal Canin Hypoallergenic scores below the dry food average.
