Applaws Adult Chicken

I initially purchased a small bag to try it out because one of my cats was diagnosed with cancer, and this is one of the very, very few foods that is high in good quality meat proteins - vital nutrition for cancer patients. Thankfully both my cats adored this food and I am now switching to this. My cats were on Hills Senior Light and James Wellbeloved Senior (mixed together), which they both enjoy, I just need to give my cancer kitty the best nutrition I can find for him...and I think this is it!

...well, that's what one of my cats thinks! I don't like to feed dry food due to the lack of actual meat in most brands (cats are carnivores afterall) but have one cat who resists all wet foods. At first he loved Orijen when that became available in the UK, but now prefers Applaws. The reason some cats prefer the lesser quality dry foods, made mostly from cereals and vegetable proteins is that they spray the cereal with animal fats to make it appetizing to cats - it's the equivalent of junk food for kids - and kids don't know what's best for them either do they? Also, it's not true that high protein diets are bad for cats kidneys - it's low quality proteins that are bad for cats kidneys. It's puts more strain on a cats kidneys to process vegetable proteins than meat proteins. The UK seems to lag behind in animal nutrition but at least some better dry foods are available here now - and my cat thinks this is THE best.

I have changed from feeding my two BSH cats James Wellbeloved to this Applaws Dry. Both cats love it, but that is not enough a reason to feed them any food (cats like Whiska/Felix too after all). The most important point is that the content of the food is extremely good and healthy for cats. Highly recommended.

This excellent quality food seems like a great idea. The cats weren't sure about it but didn't reject it either. The high meat content means it is quite pungent to a human nose compared to other brands - it smelled slightly like vomit or Parmesan, to put it more kindly - but that's a small sacrifice to make. However it made one of my cats put on quite a bit of weight, although he wasn't eating that much of it, and it didn't agree with my other, sensitive stomach kitty. Little does, but I hoped this one might. So a good product, but not for us.

We have four cats and they can be quite fussy however they all loved this product. It's great that Applaws have developed such a healthy product that they all love

Bought a 400g bag to try and my cat loves it! So much better for her than many other dry foods, and costs the same as Hills so will probably keep getting this instead.

I'm elated. For years, I had been trying to find cat dry food that was not packed full of cereals and grains, stuff that's so harmful to them and that are the main causes of their health problems. Finally, with Applaws Dry food, they're gonna be getting the higher protein content that they ought to be consuming.

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.
