Bought chicken with extra salmon for my Maine coon cat. Had this brand previously before with no issues and cat loved it. This bag of cat food has such a strong smell it is overwhelming and of course what goes in has to come back out! And it is putrid! My cat actually looks ill and now has litter box issues!! Changing to another brand, will not risk the health of my cat.

Bough a 7.5 kg bag about 10 weeks ago. Everything was fine until last week when my Cat refused to eat it. Prior to purchasing the larger bag my cat has eaten both the Applaws Chicken and the Chicken & salmon without any issues.My Cat will eat just about anything and has never refused any cat food in 7 years so first I though she was sick etc but that is not the case. So now I'm left with over 4 kg of food my cat will not eat... so much for buying 7.5 kg "economy packs"

My 2 cats have been fed on Applaws for the past few years and loved it. I received my usual order of 4 bags a few weeks ago and both my cats will not touch it! The smell is strong, unpleasant and really unappetising. It used to have a lovely meaty smell. I'm now trying to find another brand that is grain free, but without loads of weird and wonderful ingredients in it for my IBS Maine Coon. Please change back to your old recipe Applaws :-(

Something is wrong with new Applaws dry food. My cats refuses to eat it and it's smells really BAD!

My car has eating Applaws happily for the last three years. Just restocked and my cat refuses to eat any of it. Now realise the recipe has been changed. Why? Applaws could have made customers aware so we could try it first. I've now got over 7 kilos, which I will give to Blue X. Contacted Applaws customer service but did not receive the courtesy of a reply.. Will never buy their products again.

Our cat has eaten this for years, his favourite food. I've just received a new supply, and Applaws have changed the recipe. Cat just sniffs it and walks away. Why were new packs not marked, and why were we not given the chance to test this food with small sample packs. I'm now stuck with 7 kilos of unwanted food, Give to Blue Cross, hope that some cats will eat it. Won't ever buy Applaws products again.

Bought the trial pack and my cats wolfed them down. Ordered 7.5kg of the chicken applaws and when I opened the bag it had a really strong smell the shape of them was different and the colour a lot darker...I had a feeling the product wasn't the same as trial pack. Biggest sign was that my cats wouldn't touch it which they have never turned down any dry food before. Don't buy based on the trial pack...they are either in the middle of changing the recipe? It's a bad batch? Or they are trying to dupe people. Can't fault zooplus on there refund policy top notch customer service :)

Mine absolutely hoof this down! They are all very fit and well with bright eyes and shiny coats. Being interested in animal welfare I like that the chickens were free run too.

My two cats will eat anything that is put in from of them but with applaws chicken it isn't the case. They will refuse eating it and I don't know why, I guess it is not made to please every cat taste buds. I would like to mention that the smell is overwhelming, making the whole kitchen stink. If you want to try this brand, I would advice to buy a small packet first, I made the mistake of buying a 2kg bag. I Hope this review helps.

My male British Shorthair absolutely loves this dried food. For the last 3 years he has been getting a small bowl at bedtime to keep him going through the night. He is always hovering around the cupboard to get it at same time every night. It has good quality ingredients. Would recommend.

My cat loved the chicken and salmon too but now wont touch it with a barge pole and l am left with a six plus kilo bag! 😕😡

great quality food, good even for cats with allergies. My two just love it

Good value, 3 cats like it, before and after the change. Doesnt make my old lady cat sick like most other dried food and they don't ask for more food after they have had it. winner all round

seems ok food, however when I transitioned from royal canin to applaws I just found out that my cat is allergic. Checked the internet and noticed that this is a common thing for this dry food.

I read the recent reviews after placing in order then tried to cancel but was too late. I needn't have worried as it is all being scoffed by my 3 (a raggie, a birman and a tortie DSH) - and it smells just fine to me. Good to know they are eating for their future health and enjoying it.

My two cats had been eating this happily since I adopted them a couple of years ago (so did my late cat) and I couldn't understand why they started refusing it recently. I thought they were being fussy, but they've lost weight and are often so hungry. Now that I've read other customers' reviews regarding a change in recipe, I understand their sudden reluctance. What a disappointment! They absolutely loved their Applaws dry food. I should add that this review is for the "chicken with extra salmon;" my cats still seem happy to eat the "chicken with extra duck." If this should change, I shall have to look for an alternative; what a shame.

Totally agree with everyone else, why did Applaws change the recipe? Our cats loved it previously but now refuse to eat the Chicken version. Great service from zooplus though & we've swapped to the Chicken & Salmon which looks the same as the previous Chicken (ie larger pieces) & they love it. Let's hope Applaws don't change this flavour too!

My cat refuses to eat the new recipe after 2 years of no problems with Applaws, very disappointed. Not just the taste but the kibble size is smaller and broken into very small pieces.

Brought this to try for my 8yr old DSH indoor cat. After a 2 week gradual change, I have had to dispose of it at 3 weeks - the smell is overwhelming!! Cat seems to like it, we however don't. Would not buy again

My cat has been eating this for years, very happily, but now he refuses to heat it. Considering that he eats anything we put in front of him, wet or dry, this must be really disgusting to his tastebuds! Very disappointed!
