AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is a dried chicken/turkey meal (not whole meat), and the debut of fresh chicken at position three is diluted by immediate follow-up of potato and rice fillers, reducing protein source quality. Estimated dry matter protein (around 36%) lands in the marginal 35–44% range, while carbohydrates estimated at ~38% DMB rely on potato and dual rice sources in the top five, creating a significant plant-based calorie load unfit for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Eukanuba Sterilised/weight Control Adult scores above the dry food average.
