AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is a named, dehydrated poultry protein meal, which is acceptable but contributes to a moderate ingredient quality tier due to the immediate appearance of multiple starchy fillers (rice flour, corn flour, corn) directly afterward. The dry matter protein is 35.2%, which meets basic requirements for an obligate carnivore but is below optimum, while the estimated 33% carbohydrate load, driven by rice flour, corn flour, and corn in the top six ingredients, significantly dilutes the nutritional value.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Smilla Adult Salmon scores close to the dry food average.
