Natura Evo 95% Chicken & Turkey

Among premium canned dog foods, Natura Evo 95% varieties gain recognition for their high meat content (95 percent) and quality ingredients. The food is designed to replicate what a dog might eat in the wild. Though many -- but not all -- experts swear by this and similar foods, we've also seen reports that they can cause stomach upset, at least as first. Also, many say that premium dog foods such as Natura Evo 95% Chicken & Turkey are best suited as a supplement or for occasional feeding in conjunction with a top-quality dry food. Canidae Chicken, Lamb and Fish All Life Stages (*Est. $1.70 per 13 oz. can) is a little less pricey and lower in protein content, but might be a better choice if you are looking for a sole canned dog food. However, even its manufacturer suggests using Canidae in tandem with a good dry dog food.

Natura Evo had long held a stellar reputation with pet-food critics. In 2010, however, that came under scrutiny following Natura's purchase by Proctor & Gamble, which makes a few other pet foods that scrimp on ingredient quality. It was promised that the quality of Natura pet foods would remain unchanged, and so far reports say that's been true. Still, the most critical experts advise keeping an eye on the ingredients list should something change. Some experts also take issue with the fat content, which is higher than average.
