AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The food uses turkey meal as the first ingredient, which is acceptable, but brown rice and maize in the top three significantly dilute the meat content. With an estimated DMB protein of 33.7% and DMB carbohydrates around 42.4%, this formula is too high in plant-based ingredients and too low in protein for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 2,700+ dry food products, Burns Adult & Senior Cat Original Turkey & Brown Rice scores close to the dry food average.
