Much like everyone else here, very disappointed with the recipe change. My cats used to love it, and now are very indifferent. Wish they'd notified of the change, because the just swindled me out of money for a 2kg bag.

My cat used to love this, she'd lick her bowl clean and beg for more. However, I've just taken delivery of a new bag and she will barely eat this. It smells different, looks completely different and has given her diarrhoea. So disappointed! I will have to find a new brand. Zooplus have been great with dealing with this though (5*s to them for their customer service!!)

Our abyssinians used to love this but at some point in the last 4 months the recipe has changed (it smells different, is more of an irregular pellet shape and is darker). This has resulted in my cats developing diarrhea as we have transitioned between bags, and they refuse the kibble for several days before giving in and eating it. Will be switching to another high quality dry food as this is too much of a lottery.

I bought this as a change a couple of weeks ago, for my three Somalis, previously they were eating Almo Nature Orange Label, but they seemed bored of it - so I tried the Applaws, since all their wet food is from Applaws as well. I started with a small bag to see if they would like it - they hoovered it up within a day. So, I bought a bigger bag, and again it gets hoovered up very quickly - I am amazed at how much they like it. I have 3 Somali cats, and all 3 enjoy it.

Applaws is good value and has better ingredients than some other higher priced dry foods. The gang of four (cats) prefer this to the (more budget) all meat canned wet food so eat less of the canned food now (but they all prefer Acana dry even more and Orijen dry even more still).

My cat loves this kibble but it just doesn't agree with her. After even a small portion she gets cowpat poos. She was fine with the kitten version and I'm not sure what's different. I'll persevere for a little while because it seems such good quality but suspect I'll need to move onto another brand.

My pedigree exotic aged 11 years used to love Applaws dry food but suddenly refused it. It appears Applaws have recently changed the recipe and it also looks different - the kibbles have tiny white bits in it. I also don't like the way it is promoted as 'pre-biotic' - I want a natural food for my cat not a medicine. I have therefore switched to another premium brand - 85% chicken - (but more expensive!) which she adores. A real shame! Luckily she still loves the Applaws tins.

My Bengal has had really bad diarrhea on this food. So bad I have had to starve her for a few days. I thought I'd give this food a try as it sounds great when you read the ingredients. Sadly most of this product is now in my bin so I wouldn't recommend this product.

I wanted to switch our cat to a grain free food and after much research decided to try this one out and she loves it! It's also well priced.

My cat is a 3 years old male unneutered. Sins he was small i always used to feed him Whiskas kitten and adult. The main problem i had was that i saw my cat lose weight ( like a a 0.5 to 1kg) the vet used to tell me it might be worms...... not the case... after 3 years of buying Whiskas i read the label and found less than 5% of meat proteins and the rest all wheat’s and fibres. So i changed his diet to Applaws and within the first 2 weeks he gained weight, 4/5 weeks gained more muscles.

APPLAWS IS VERY GOOD I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERY CAT OWNER,MY CAT IS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD AND WE HAVE HAD MANY A PROBLEM WITH MANY DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF CAT FOOD, SHE GOT REALLY THIN AND WE PUT IT DOWN TO BEING OLD,SO WE THOUGHT OF TRYING APPLAWS AS IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY A MEMBER OF STAFF IN A CAT SHOP WE HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK, SHE LOVES ALL THE CAT FOOD AND HAS PUT ON SOME WEIGHT.

We have 4 cats, 2 of which are bengals, all indoor kitties. We moved to this from royal canin indoor due to one of our bengals tummys not agreeing with it at all, so with this being grain free are high in protein we thought we'd give this ago. & we had no further issues in that department, they all love it & it seems good quality & although I'm not sure about the sheer amount of additives & they eat just as much as ever, & one of our Tabbys has put weight on whilst eating this. However there is another downside, the smell from their stools have gone from near not existent (royal canin) to near unbearable, if the litter box's arnt cleaned constantly through the day they stink the house out. This is difficult as we both work full time.

Had my cats on James Wellbeloved Hairball for a while and changed to this as it's actually cheaper when bought in bulk. With a Ragdoll x and a Maine Coon we have a huge hairball problem but all three of my cats are much better on this food. They absolutely love it, three clean bowls every meal. I always get comments on how well my cats look, how soft and silky their fur is and it's all down to this food!

Both my cats love this food and have lovely glossy coats. Highly recommended.

This is a really good dry food and my cat loves it but it just didn't agree with him. I got the trial pack first and introduced it gradually along with his wet food which was fine at first but when I tried to transition to using it as his main food it all went down hill. He stopped looking for his wet food and only wanted to eat this but it was giving him really loose smelly stools and he was drinking loads of water but peeing a lot less than usual (sorry tmi). I had to gradually cut it out and reintroduce his wet food again because he was going from having the runs when he ate this to being completely constipated if he didn't have any. Now back on bozita as his main food and just the occasional few biscuits of applaws as a treat or if he hasn't pooped for a few days but thankfully that all seems to be getting back to normal slowly but surely.

I've been buying this for a few years now and it's a good fail-safe high quality dry cat food. Far superior to the more famous brands found in the supermarket. We did a slow changeover and didn't experience the runny toilets like some other reviews. The only downside (and the reason for 4 stars) is when I bought the first bag my cat ate it like there was no tomorrow but now she's more "take it or leave it" and will pick at her bowl throughout the day. There are now some other competitive brands that she prefers the taste of (though she would maybe go off those too with time so it might just be her!).

Tried every grain free cat food. The house was littered with samples but madame would have none of it. Applaws chicken is the only dry food she likes. She's been on it for months now and she's still happy. Her fur is soft and shiny and she has plenty of energy. I totally recommend this dry cat food. It's got high meat content, it's grain free and for the quality it's very good value for money.

I always feed my cats on good quality food (Almo Nature, etc) but they always leave Applaws dry food. It's clearly good quality (the ingredients list is excellent, as is the smell!).They love the Applaws wet food though.

Bought Applaws to replace Whiskers dry food as I read great reviews. And also wanted to reduce the smell of the cats poop since I have 2 cats now... Immediately both cats loved it! And best of all the cats don't poop as much and their poop doesn't smell! So it is very high quality! Unfortunately one of my cats regurgitates water and bits of food straight after drinking large quantities of water. When she finishes eating this she goes to drink a LOT. My other cat seems fine with it. I've tested this product for 5 months and my cats both put on about 600g of weight and look healthy. However after switching them back to Whiskers, my cat doesn't vomit any more. I really like this brand however unfortunately will need to look at a different one now because random vomiting outweighs the other benefits.

Our two cats love this food, they choose it over all other available cat food. It is high protein so it is good for them. Most importantly it gives them *cough* nice solid poop that doesn't smell too awful haha! It's expensive, but so worth it.
