Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care Indoor Adult Cat Chicken and Rice

Reviews and label analysis indicate Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care Indoor Adult Cat Chicken and Rice is a top choice among lower-cost canned cat foods. Most experts say cats have to eat more of the grains-laden inexpensive food than they would of the premium mostly-meat products, so the cost winds up about the same. While it contains some grains, there's no corn, wheat or soy, and no by-products. Anecdotal health complaints about Nutro Natural can be found on the Internet. While they are largely unsubstantiated, it has led some experts to discontinue recommending the product. For about 20 cents more per can, Natural Balance Ultra Formula (*est. $1 per 3-ounce can) is praised for its quality ingredients.

The best sources for cat food reviews either ignore or criticize lower-priced cat foods. The Ask Susan Peters website doesn't recommend Nutro Natural Choice, but no cat food in this price category rates well. This blog does, however, feature good information that will teach you how to read labels effectively. Owner reviews at Petco.com are highly complimentary, but are mainly based on whether cats liked the food or not. RFWClub.org, a website for members of Ragdoll Fanciers Worldwide Club, published a 2003 poll about what owners feed cats; Nutro Natural Choice ranks sixth.
