Edit: Another thing that just popped into my head is the vitamin/mineral inclusion in commercial pet foods. You don't know if you're going to be giving more than what's needed to a tegu because these foods were designed for dogs and cats. NOT reptiles.

With that being said...

I would think that high quality canned cat/dog food would be fine in a pinch but not something I'd rely on.

Some brands that I personally would choose if one NEEDED to feed dog/cat food (for God knows what reason) lol

Innova EVO's canned variety:

Most of the food in the cans is something that most of us can feed raw and in a more natural form so again, I don't see the point in ever needing to feed canned food. Unless in a pinch, I suppose.

These are dog/cat RAW commercial foods. I WOULD rely on these more than any other processed food. I use some of these for my ferrets when I don't have time to thaw various chunks of meat.

This brand's ingredients are good for a tegu, I'd think.

This is the Turkey formula for cats/ferrets:

Ingredients

Turkey (Contains Turkey and Turkey Bones), Turkey Giblets(Contains Turkey Heart, Turkey Liver and Turkey Gizzard), Mustard Greens, Turnip Greens, Green Beans, Alfalfa Sprouts, Papaya, Cranberry, Sunflower Seeds, Almond Meal, Walnut Meal, Grapefruit Seed Extract.

MUCH better than ANY canned/dry commercial pet food in my opinion.
