Trader Joe's Chicken, Turkey & Rice Dinner
Supermarket canned cat food
- Great value
- Good lineup of ingredients
- No by-products
- Only available in Trader Joe's stores
- Contains grains
If you are on a budget and live near a Trader Joe's store, it's tough to find a better cat food choice than Trader Joe's cat food, including the company's Chicken, Turkey & Rice dinner. While it contains grains, you won't find low-quality grains such as corn, wheat or soy in the mix. In addition, there are no by-products and the top ingredients are named meats or meat broths. Minerals are chelated, which helps absorption. Value is excellent. Natural Balance Indoor Cat Formula (*Est. $1.10 for a 6-oz. can) is also regarded as a good choice for those who can't budget for the best cat foods, but it still costs considerably more than Trader Joe's. On the other hand, Natural Balance might be easier to find for some.
Reviews for Trader Joe's Chicken, Turkey & Rice Dinner are scarce, but it is included -- with a caveat -- on CatInfo.org. We also found some discussion in cat-owner forums such as CatForum.com and Catster.com.

Trader Joe's cat food is called a "reasonable" choice among quality commercial cat foods with grain. However, Lisa Pierson notes that while she assumes that the formulation is unchanged, it's been a while since she's evaluated the food and suggests that her readers check the labels for themselves.
