AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This treat is dominated by 'cereals' and 'derivatives of vegetable origin' as the first ingredients, with only 4% chicken as the sole named meat source. Extremely high estimated carbohydrates (roughly 44% on a dry matter basis) and around 24% DMB protein make it nutritionally poor for an obligate carnivore, and the absence of moisture data further indicates a low-quality formulation.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Whiskas Chicken & Cheese Cat Treats scores below the dry food average.
