What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is 'cereals' (48% whole grains), which is inappropriate for an obligate carnivore, and the primary protein sources are opaque 'meat and animal by-products' and 'vegetable protein extracts'. The formula relies heavily on grains and plant-based protein padding, while the protein content is likely marginal for a carnivore, though exact moisture is missing to confirm the dry-matter basis precisely.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Cat Chow Adult Chicken scores below the dry food average.
