AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The ingredient quality is decent with chicken as the second ingredient, but the protein adequacy cannot be determined due to missing dry matter basis data. The presence of rice and rice starch high in the ingredient list, along with guar gum, indicates a moderate amount of fillers and an undesirable additive for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 2,700+ dry food products, Hill's Science Diet Adult Perfect Digestion Chicken, Vegetable & Rice Stew Cat Food scores close to the dry food average.
