Applaws Adult Chicken

My cat was doing perfect on Royal canine and Hills. Both wet and dry. When I brought Aplaws chicken and salmon dry food. Won’t try wet. Aplaws he went for it like a madman at first and then proceeded more lightly later. I got woken up to the sounds of his vomiting this morning, 2 nights after the introduction. I must say it was the only routine change, so it has to be the food. He made 12 vomits, the first few containing Aplaws food, indigested, and the last two, bloody and more Aplaws.

My poor cat has had lots of scabs on her tummy for quite a while now. I have had her to the vet numerous times. They said it's an allergy she has got but we didn't no what's been causing it until my daughter stumbled across these reviews. I certainly think it's been her dried food that has caused all this unnecessary suffering. Needles to say I won't be giving her any more 😿

We've been using applaws for years but this last batch caused my cat to develop a nasty allergic reaction around the sides of his head as well as regular vomiting. I stopped feeding him his dry food and his symptoms quickly subsided. Having read these reviews it is clear that there's a serious issue with this product. If citrus extract is not good for cats why are they adding it to this product? Absolutely crazy!

Whilst I can't comment on dry food since finding wet food my cats lick the bowl clean. So far so good especially as one of my two cats has a thyroid problem and this food doesn't contain calcium iodate all other brands do.

It’s suddenly clicked after reading other reviews on this site that it’s not my cats being fussy, the recipe has changed! No wonder they will hardly touch this food they used to love and one of them has been throwing up. Won’t be buying this brand again. What a shame.

As many others have also found, the change of recipe is really not good for cats, mine included. When reading the latest ingredients, I was horrified to see Citrus Extract.. it is well known that citrus is toxic to cats.. please change it back and remove this awful ingredient!!!

My cat has been eating applaws since I got her 18 months ago, she Started by getting small red spots, which now are blisters all over her neck head n armpits, all because of this food!

Made my cat sick every time he ate it.

My cat has been eating applaws for years with no issue. But since buying this last bag he has changed completely and pulled his fur out a lot. Keep an eye on your cats if you buy this new recipe. He doesn’t like it at all now so won’t be buying again.

We've been feeding kitty Applaws dry food since he was a few weeks old. The last bag has caused him a sever allergy, itchy, hair falling out. Steer clear now

We have fed our cat Applaws dry food for years. The last bag that we bought demonstrates that there has clearly been a change in the food. My cat is not eating it as much, is pulling out clumps of his own hair, has a skin irritation and has lots of scabs (some infected!) on his skin. Following some research it seems that other cat owners are experiencing the same issue. He has been treated for a range of possible causes by the vet, none of which have worked; vet says it must be dietary!

As many others have written before me, Applaws has changed their recipe and now my cat refuses to eat it. It's a real pity as it used to be my cats favourite.

My cat started throwing up the most recent bag of Applaws. The vet checked him over and said he was ok but he kept throwing up. I have changed his food now to another brand and he is fine. His sister has no problems with the food but needless to say it will put me off buying it again, particularly in view of the unhelpful response from the manufacturer that other people have encountered. .

This food changed completely. I bought a new large bag about 6 weeks ago. It looked different and the smell was different, but the cat ate it so I presumed it was ok. Then he started throwing up every day (sometime twice or three times a day). I went to the vet about 4 times...still getting sick. Yesterday I bought a new brand of food and hard to believe - he has not thrown up since. Shame on those people!!!!!!!

I have exactly the same experience. My cat used to love this but she started refusing it. Now I understand that the company changed not only package but also the recipe. I'm thinking putting it to bin.

What a shame Applaws changed their recipe from something my cats loved to something they would both literally rather starve than eat just AFTER I invested in a 7.5 kg bag. So I have a massive bag of expensive waste. I'm going to donate it to my nearest cat shelter in case those poor kitties are desperate enough to eat the stuff. I'm very disappointed, and rather annoyed, frankly.

I bought Applaws wet food for my 3 indoor cats when the food I had been buying made their toilet stink - the company had changed the recipe after being taken over. They absolutely loved it but won't touch the latest delivery, only eating a very small amount when they are very hungry & their toilet smells again. Applaws have changed their dry food & people were left with food their cats wouldn't eat. Applaws has not addressed my query. Very good for profits but not for paying customers.

Last year I bought Applaws dry cat food in chicken and duck flavour which my cat absolutely loved. I then ordered a bag of this food in chicken flavour, and another in chicken and salmon flavour. Since feeding my cat these 2 new flavours he's gone from being a healthy and happy indoor cat to pulling his fur out in large clumps. I took him to the vet and they suggested a change in diet might be causing the problem. It suddenly clicked with me that this Applaws food was causing his skin problems. After doing some research and reading reviews on here, I saw other people were experiencing the same thing. I can only assume the food is faulty or contaminated somehow. Applaws have asked me to return the food for testing and I've received a full refund from Zooplus. Please avoid buying this flavour to avoid distress and illness in your cat too.

Got a new bag of this and my cat came up with scabs on his stomach, vet says it's a food allergy, fed Applaws many times before with no problem. However the food looked and smelled different as others have said so I don't trust it now-bought another brand, not worth the risk.

My usually healthy cat suddenly developed a skin rash and itchy scabs after a week on this food. He was on a different food beforehand but had also fed this same variety previously with no problem so I didn't consider the food as the cause. When the vet diagnosed an allergy, I racked my brains to discover what as nothing had changed-and found the other reviews here. Apparently the recipe has changed and caused problems and bad reactions in multiple other cats too. VERY UNHAPPY as is the cat!

The food in the bowl was eaten very quickly. They prefer it.

My cats love it and honestly, it's the only one that's agreed with them. Plus, it's helped them grow quite a lot. I use it for sphynx cats and I supplement it with wet food.

Both our cats vomited the food right from the start. Such a shame!

Yet another product where the quality has dropped massively. Applaws used to be like candy for my cats—we used them in play and as rewards—but since the packaging changed, something else has changed too, and now my cats simply won’t touch them anymore. The huge drop in quality isn’t reflected in the price, though.

The pellet size was simply reduced. Unbelievable! Maybe they also changed the recipe? My cats don't like it anymore like they used to.

Our sphynx appreciates the food

Both cats accepted this food right away, but the pieces are very small; neither of them chews them even though they don't have any dental problems.

This has been our go-to dry food for the boys for years. They always enjoy it and it's made from high-quality ingredients.

My cats loved this food, but without any notice the pieces are now only half the size and the girls don’t want it anymore. So now we have to look for an alternative. Changing cat food rarely makes sense.

I almost always order this dry food for my cat and he absolutely loves it! I’m especially impressed by the high meat content, as well as the fact that it’s grain-free and low in carbohydrates. It makes me feel good about what I’m giving my cat. Really great food, I definitely recommend it!

I'm satisfied

I've been buying this dry food for many years, but suddenly the pieces are smaller and darker than before, and my cats are having terrible stomach issues and don’t really want to eat it anymore. Nowhere does it say the recipe has changed, but something must have happened. I have two bags from different shops and both have the same problem. I’ll stop buying this now, really disappointed.
