Newman's Own Organics Chicken and Brown Rice

Reviews rate Newman's Own Organics Chicken and Brown Rice as one of the best canned organic cat foods. Though experts say cat foods containing grains and starches are less preferable than raw meat, Newman's Own Organics Chicken and Brown Rice has no chemical preservatives or animal by-products -- it's mostly chicken, and the chickens used have been raised on an all-vegetable diet. The rice filler doesn't do much for cats, experts say, but it's preferable to lesser-quality fillers like wheat or corn. Experts claim that avoiding carbohydrates is the optimal choice when feeding cats and suggest raw, all-meat meals such as the frozen Feline's Pride Gourmet Chicken Dinner (*est. $95 for a 20-pound box).

We found the best review at About.com, where Franny Syufy rates Newman's Own Organics Chicken and Brown Rice eighth among all canned cat foods and second among organics based on testing with her cats. Review sources such as CatInfo.org and the Ask Susan Peters website are hypercritical of most commercial cat foods, but their feedback is positive compared to that given for similar alternatives.
