Applaws Adult Chicken

Thought it would help with loose stools as Orijen was a bit too rich for my cats. This made no difference and there has been recent bad press too. I have now discovered Royal Canin Sensible 33 which has rave reviews - so if anyone has cats with loose stools, check it out. Apart from that, no one can beat Orijen or Applaws in terms of pure meat content and no animal meals and byproducts.

I have never written a review on this website but I feel compelled in this case. I have two young neutered male cats; one 18 months and one 8 months old. They are normally fed on a diet of Orijen dry food during the day (free feeding) and a small portion of wet food when I go home from work. Both have tried and loved Applaws wet food. I was over the moon when Applaws start introducing their own brand of dry food, thinking that it would be of the same high quality as their cans. However, after switching my cat from Orijen dry food to Applaws for about 2-3 months, they start to vomit on a daily basis. Instead of hairballs, they vomit up clear liquid and undigested food. It took me a long time to figure out what was wrong until I took them off Applaws and the vomiting stopped straight away. I am now left with 5kg of Applaws dry food and lots of disappointment. I have noticed similar incidents from other reviewers. Please do not ignore this problem - my cats were not sick straight away but only start to show symptoms after 2-3 months.

This gave my cats diarrhea and my friends cats too. It's a shame as the wet food is fine for my cats. I've recently heard some controversial information about this product. Obviously can't repeat it here, but google "Applaws dry cat food problem" and you'll find the information on a breeders website.

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

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'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.
