AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This food provides high animal-sourced protein (56.2% DMB) with very low carbohydrates (est. 2.5% DMB on pâté varieties), which is excellent for a carnivore. However, the protein score is dragged down by vague 'meat and animal by-products' comprising the bulk of the formula, and the additive score is penalized by the unnecessary inclusion of sugar and cassia gum across all variants.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Sheba Chicken Pâté Perfect Portions scores close to the wet food average.
