AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
First ingredient is water followed by pork liver, but 'Pork By-Products' and plant fillers like Powdered Cellulose and Brewers Rice appear early in the list, dragging protein source quality down. The food cannot be assessed for true protein or carb adequacy because moisture is missing, preventing dry matter calculation, so both scores are penalized to reflect that critical data gap; the presence of cellulose and corn/rice in the top tiers signals a formula built on fillers rather than meat.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Hill's Prescription Diet r/d Chicken Flavor Dry Cat Food scores below the dry food average.
