AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This food uses a named duck meal as the first ingredient, which is acceptable but not whole meat, and is immediately followed by high-carb potato at 34%. The exact moisture content is missing, making the dry matter protein impossible to verify precisely, meaning the protein adequacy for an obligate carnivore cannot be confirmed and must be downgraded accordingly.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Burns Adult & Senior Cat Sensitive Grain-Free Duck & Potato scores close to the dry food average.
