What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is vague 'meat and animal derivatives', indicating low-quality protein sources, and the presence of cereals and vegetable protein extracts adds filler and plant-based protein padding. While the food contains no artificial additives, the missing moisture data prevents accurate dry matter analysis, but the ingredient list suggests a high-carb, low-quality formula unsuitable for obligate carnivores.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Royal Canin Instinctive 7+ Chunks in Gravy scores close to the wet food average.
