AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The protein level on a dry matter basis is exceptionally high (73.1%), but the ingredient quality is severely undermined by vague 'meat and animal derivatives' and the named beef/chicken/lamb/poultry making up only 4% of the product. The formula contains added sugar and 'vegetable protein extracts' which are inappropriate fillers for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Whiskas Classic Ragout in Jelly scores close to the dry food average.
