The Best Supermarket Canned Cat Foods

Canned cat food is a healthy and quick dietary option for your cat's complete or supplemental diet. Canned cat food comes in a variety of flavors appealing to cats, including chicken and fish. Unlike dry cat food that comes in bags, canned cat food is usually wet and thus easier to eat for younger kittens or cats with dental issues. Wet cat food also contains more water than dry cat food, thus ensuring your cat will stay hydrated.

  1. Wellness Cat Food Formula

    • Wellness Cat Food Formula is high in protein. Many flavors are safely preserved with natural ingredients such as Vitamin E rather than unnatural additives. Even when Wellness had to recall several cans of cat food in March 2011 due to a vitamin deficiency in the formula, experts still raved on how well the company handled the recall. Wellness Cat Food Formula is expensive, about $1.50 for a 5.5-oz. can of cat food as of publication.

    Natural Balance Indoor Formula

    • Natural Balance Indoor Formula is ideal for indoor cats. It comes in only one flavor, with real chicken broth, liver and salmon, all protein-rich ingredients. The formula is free of wheat, corn and soy found in cheaper cat foods. No artificial colors or unnatural preservatives are added to this formula. A 6-oz. can of Natural Balance Indoor Formula is approximately $1.10 as of publication.

    Trader Joe's Canned Cat Food

    • Store-brand cat food is often chock-full of unhealthy ingredients, according to Consumer Search. While there are grains present in the Trader Joe's brand, the primary ingredients include chicken broth, turkey and ocean fish rather than meat by-products and additives that you would find in cat foods at this same price. For a 5.5-oz. can of Trader Joe's cat food, you will pay around 60 cents as of publication.

    Newman's Organic Cat Food

    • Of all organic cat foods, Newman's is the best. Cat owners looking to limit their cat's exposure to chemicals and additives will find Newman's Organics packed with chickens fed all-vegetable and antibiotic-free diets. Newman's guarantees that its products are at least 95 percent organic. While the cat food contains rice, it is free of wheat and corn. Newman's Organic Cat Food is available for approximately $1.40 for a 5.5-oz. can as of publication.
