AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first and dominant ingredient is an unnamed 'meat and animal by-products' blend, with only 4% named meat contributing to the chunks, placing protein quality very low. While dry-matter protein is adequate at 45.9%, the food contains multiple fillers like 'cereals' and 'vegetable by-products' plus 'various sugars' as a listed additive, undermining its suitability for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Sheba Pouches Select Slices - Poultry Selection in Gravy scores below the wet food average.
