Applause for Applaws
My cat went through an awful stage of non-stop runs. It was extremely liquid and as my cat is a long haired Maine Coon, you can imagine the mess... and the smell was indescribable. After trying many other foods I finally found Applaws. Within 3 days, normal stools and we have never had a problem since. Applaws contains no grains and no useless carbs. It is 80% meat/fish and this is of a quality that would be used for human consumption. Another bonus is that because there is no crap in it, you will feed (much) less of it to your cats, so it's economical too. Applaws has also given my cat a beautiful rippling coat, although the one thing that would make it even better would be the inclusion of something that would actually remove hairballs.

first rate dry cat food
I have two cats, one had intially been diagnosed with diabetes mellitis eighteen months ago. His diabetes was very difficult to control and subsequently he was diagnosed with acromegaly - a tumour on the pituitory gland which amongst other things causes the animal to be diabetic. The vets recommended Royal Canin diabetic cat food but this contains far too much cereal based carbohydrates which actually caused him to need even more insulin. I researched low carb non-cereal foods and came up with Applaws chicken and salmon. He had been free feeding on Royal Canin Fit 32 dry food since a kitten but was often sick through binge eating. I put him initially on a wet food jelly based diet as gravy also contains carbohydrates. He then had four weeks of radiotherapy and I have been moving him to more dry applaws cat food ever since although I am not allowing free feeding as I wanted him to lose a kilo which he did. As a result of the combination of dietery change and radiotherapy, three months after it finished in March 2010 he is now off insulin altogether and my other cat tolerates Applaws very well too.

Excellent Value and Quality
The ingredients in this food are excellent when compared with all supermarket brands that I have come across. The food is excellent value too. My cats enjoyed this and I would now never even consider any supermarket brands because of the quality and value offered in this product. I feed my cats Acana and Orijen dry food in alternation with this food to give them variety and would highly recommend that you look at these too if you are concerned about giving your cats variation and are looking at other premium quality brands for your pets.

Only Cereal Free Cat Food. Great if your cat is allergic to all cereals.
I used to use Royal Canin Sensitivity control SC31. My cat was diagnosed at a very young age with his sister to be allergic to all cereals (wheat, maize, rice, soya, etc), rabbits, tuna, white fish, etc.
SC31 ingredients were changed last year, and I had to search for a cereal free dry food for my cat. Applaws was, and still is, my only option.
I am lucky my cat loves it and never seems to get tired of it. He has been on this diet for over a year now, no problems observed. It's the best smelling dry cat food, so your cat will be unlikely to get bad breath. He doesn't bleed when I stoke him now, or lose loads of fur from stoking. Nor is he having diarrhoea.

Wonderful Food!
One of my cats was always being sick after eating. I tried various different foods, and some helped to reduce the frequency, but non stopped her being sick. She has no medical conditions. Since putting her onto Applaws, she has not been sick once! Not suprising, as cats are pure carnivores, and not designed to process cereal or starches in their diet. Would highly recommend this food to any one who has a fussy/overwieght cat. Applaws is designed to compliment a cats digestive system, and it works! She is even losing weight:-)

Excellent food, change over gradually
As a vet I have waited for a food like Applaws dry for many years. I have been recomending to my clients for over 6 months since I read about it on Dr Diane Addies website. Just remember to change over to this food slowly (over 7 days)otherwise you will get diarrhea. Remember, your cat has been used to very little meat in his current dry food.

Life saver
We have two siamese with very sensitive tummies and we have tried every single brand on the market and this is the first which they don't get sick on- probably due to the lack of cereals. Its not their favorite but it stays put- worth every penny!

Very high quality food
I have a bengal and a sphynx, my sphynx has irritable bowel, this food is much better for him because its not full of fillers and cereals which he can't tolerate. He is better with wet food and this is as close as it gets to wet food that I can leave down for them. My bengal wasn't sure at first but they both love it now. It is strong smelling, but I don't mind that as I know its good food for them and with it being 80 percent meat it's bound to smell stronger than other dry food which is full of fillers. Its definately worth it for their health.

They Love It
My cats were fed on all different foods, James Well Beloved,Iams, science plan, but they always preferred meat & ate tons of Sheba. But when I intoduced the dry Applaws they loved it. as I have multiple cats this one is fantastic for all of them. My male cat has an irritable bowel and this seems to have sorted that out. I am very pleased with this food, and rate it as excellent.

Finally found a food that works
This is the only dry food that doesn't give my cat runny stools.
I have tried many different dry foods and he will happily eat them all but this is the only one that he is solid on. Possibly due to the fact that this food has no wheat or grains in it as the only other food he was solid on was the cheapest of the cheap, supermarket tinned rubbish.

Gobbled Up!
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!

Best Dry Food Available in UK...
...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.

Best Dry Food Around
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.

Great Product
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

Great value
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.

Fantastic and well worth it
Additive free is great for the more sensitive cat and I always prefer to feed them high quality food. Tinned Applaws is very good and this is a complete food so even better. Plus, they both absolutely love it!

Applaws Dry is a God-send!
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.
