This cat food seems great in terms of the ingredients but all 3 of my male cats were constantly hungry and looking for more food. 2 of the 3 (the 2 gingers) are repeatedly sick with this stuff. What a shame I had hoped I had found a food that would suit us. Back to the drawing board.

I have fed Applaws since 2013 when my cats were kittens. Switched to adult with no problems + have fed Applaws chicken since. About 1 year ago, look + smell of kibble changed + cats went off the chicken one but still scoff down chicken + salmon (hence the 2nd star). Projectile vomiting is common with pure chicken and non-existant with chicken + salmon. They HATE the rice in the Applaws wet food. Change in recipe obvious. Too bad.

I have three neutered lads and all have wet and dry food. Their usual hairball control kibbles don't seem to be available any more, so I thought they could try this. They have all eaten some and one has been fine. The other two - who have good appetites - have eaten theirs and then projectile vomited, bringing up their wet food as well as the kibble biscuits. They are not ill as such - they are hungry and crying for food after vomiting ......

I have fed this to my cat and they love it!! I am so happy that I have found Applaws.

Just planning to bulk buy but read reviews first. Penny just dropped and I realize the 'vomiting' episode coincided with trying applaws dry food a few months ago. I bought two types and didn't register which ones were given to them. Safer to steer clear for us.

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.

This is a great product. Good quality ingredients, no rubbish and both my cats will eat it without complaint. They both have good healthy coats and no digestive issues. A firm favourite.

After reading the reviews here I now know why my cats have stopped eating this food , it's the recipe change , they have been happily eating this for years and it helped a lot to control their weight but now they are always hungry and not touching the food :-( please if this is your regular food get a small bag with the new recipe first just so you don't get lumped with a massive bag. Also it does pong a wee bit more!

i bought this food for my cats and they refuse to eat it. I than tried it on the cat of my son she also does not go near it

I have been buying this in bulk for years for my 3 big, greedy, not at all fussy boy cats and they have loved it. However, this bag they have all point blank refused to eat. I thought maybe it was a slight change and they would get used to it but over a week later they won't touch it and I have had to buy supermarket food (which they have eaten happily) until I can figure out a high quality solution. Very disappointing and a waste of £35.

We have always fed our cats dry food but on the recommendation of our breeder swapped to Applaws for the higher protein and lower grain contents. All four of them love it and come running when the pack shakes! Their condition is superb so what more could I ask of a food?

I have been buying this variety for a few years now and our two cats absolutely loved it, unfortunately it seems that Applaws have changed the formula... Now the kibbles are much smaller and so break very easily which means a part of the food ends up in the bin as it practically turns into powder, but yet more importantly we have spotted some blood in our cats' poop. Will not buy it again, and really do not understand why the change, what a shame!

title says it all really, this variety has made my cat very ill and the whole house stink, the chicken variety he can eat without issue though

Good value with better quality ingredients than some other higher priced dry foods. The extra salmon is extra good too. The gang of four (cats) now prefer better quality dry foods to the (more budget) all meat canned wet food so eat less of the canned food (but they all prefer Acana dry even more and Orijen dry even more still). Pity Applaws doesn’t (yet?) offer an alternative to chicken as the main protein to give even more variety in their dry food.

It's a shame to see some people have bad experience with this food. My girl is incredibly fussy, she refuses to eat wet meat food so only has tuna based, knowing that she needs meat in her diet and lots of taurine (which cheap brands barely contain) I chanced the chicken and salmon and she's been on it ever since. Loves it. I'll never buy anything else.

My cat loves the chicken flavoured variety of this food, but do yourself a favour and avoid the chicken and salmon variety! It literally smells of horse manure. It turned my stomach and my cat's stomach! And stank my kitchen out. Horrific.

My cat is a rescued cat. I have bought different types of trail sized food for her to try. She seemed to like to Applaw Chicken, and she seemed to like fish. So I thought this Chicken & Salmon should be a great hit. And went ahead with the 7.5 kg pack. How naive! She turns her nose up at this! I have to buy some of the low meat content food to mix with this for her to eat. However, she often refuses to eat her food.

I have two cats, brothers, one who is really fussy and one greedy one who'll eat anything. I have tried many different dry foods and always introduce gradually. I usually find they're eager to try a new food but soon show me if they're not keen and won't eat any more but this is the only one they wouldn't touch at all!

My 4 cats love this, they can't get enough of it. Previous food products would make them sick and some would make them drink insane amounts of water leading to more bathroom visits. Since being on Applaws they're much happier and their coats are soft and shiny. Highly recommended.

My cats love this. Highly recommended.
