Applaws Senior Chicken Cat Food

I've been using this product for some time. I order in bulk, 7.5kg so they last us a while. My last order being August 2025, since the last order the biscuit shape ans size has changed. I'm not sure if ingredients ect are different too as I no longer have the old packaging, but my cat just turns his nose up at them now

My girls would not touch this. I have used it to feed the stray boy instead. An expensive mistake.

My cat loves the regular chicken dry cat food from Applaws, but that was out of stock so I thought the senior chicken food would be similar. My cat refuses to even try it and she’s usually eats anything.

Sorry to say, both my 14-year-olds just will not tolerate this food. They adore the Applaws Senior wet food and I thought the dry Senior food would be readily accepted. Absolutely not!

For the first time ever my cats refused food - they simply wouldn't touch this product. I held out for four days but they didn't relent. I ended up denoting the a 7.5kg minus two small scoops the cat rescue centre.

I had been recommended this brand so with three senior Bengals I purchased this food. They are not fussy cats although I have primarily used several varieties of Royal Cannin they will happily eat other brands. They are usually excited at anything new but they just walked away. If it is mixed with other dry food they pick out the one they like and leave the applaws. Even putting it in the play ball does not work. I am not sure whether it is the smell of the shape of the kibble. I tend towards the shape as it is very small.

Terrible drop in quality, my cat used to eat this food with gusto, but the last pack was awful. The cat completely rejected the food, stopped eating it to the point where he even lost weight. I wondered if it was a health issue, but after numerous tests nothing came up. When I desperately bought a different food, the problems disappeared instantly, the cat is eating eagerly again, gaining weight and seems happy, but this time with a competitor's food. Money down the drain. Don't buy it.

Unlike the previous version of the food, this one is finer and has a different composition – you can tell by the colour and smell. The cats absolutely refuse to eat it, even going so far as to try and bury the kibble. The awful smell of rancid fat is off-putting right from the start, and the colour is suspiciously grey. This time, the manufacturer has really gone too far in cutting costs on the quality of the ingredients. Even stray cats – who usually eat anything they come across – won’t touch it. Bought 3 packs of 7.5kg each – straight to the bin.

My Maine Coon tomcat won't eat it, it smells really unpleasant.

When I bought the product this last time, it arrived with very small kibble, like kitten food. It seems like a packaging mistake since the bag is the right one, and now I’m afraid to buy another 7.5kg sack and have the same thing happen again. Sometimes my cat has digestive issues and vomits.
