AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
Although turkey is the first ingredient, its modest 15% inclusion is immediately followed by corn grain and corn protein, making plant-based fillers the dominant feature of the recipe. The as-fed protein is 36.0% but the missing moisture value prevents a precise dry matter calculation, capping the protein adequacy score to a maximum 2.5; the estimated carbohydrate load appears very high given the corn, barley, wheat, and powdered cellulose.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Affinity Advance Sterilised Hairball scores below the dry food average.
