AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The protein source starts with a named poultry protein meal, which is acceptable, but it is immediately followed by significant plant-based fillers like rice flour and maize. The estimated carbohydrate content of 37.4% DMB is too high for an obligate carnivore, indicating a reliance on inexpensive plant ingredients.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Smilla Adult Poultry scores close to the dry food average.
