Product description

Natural premium dry food for kittens and pregnant and nursing cats, with a high meat content and low carbohydrate content, grain-free

Applaws Kitten is a unique complete food for kittens, pregnant and lactating mothers.
In this dry food, chicken is the only source of protein that your kitten can effectively convert into energy. Furthermore, this cat food is also suitable for animals with allergies and intolerances.

Natural omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can support the coat and skin structure and make the coat look silky and shiny. A balanced calcium/phosphorus ratio is important for growth and the development of healthy bones. The recipe is rounded off with cranberry extract, which not only provides extra flavour but also nutrients. With anti-hairball formula!

Banner 2

Applaws dry food does not contain any artificial preservatives. Antioxidants to prolong the shelf life of the food come from natural selenium and natural tocopherol, which can also support your cat's well-being.

Get your kitten used to solid food from the 4th - 6th week. Initially soak in lukewarm water. Gradually reduce the amount of water.

Please do not use milk. If your kitten is already accustomed to dry food, slowly introduce it within 4 days.

Your kitten's daily requirement may vary depending on its size, weight and activity level!

After four weeks of pregnancy, gradually increase the amount of food as indicated in the table. You should double the amount of food from the end of the 7th week. After the birth, continue to slowly increase the amount of food so that the cat has as much food as it needs. You can switch back to Applaws dry food for adult cats approx. 5 weeks after the birth.

Your cat's daily requirement may vary depending on its size, weight and activity level!

Two happy little Ragdolls

My two kittens really like this food and it never upsets their little tummies. They are fed raw meat and wet food mainly, but there is always a bowl of high quality dry kibble available between meals. I use few different dry foods, alternating daily, so they won't get bored with same flavour every day.

Our young cats love this

My two young cats (almost 18 months now) have been on this dry food for over a year. They seem to really enjoy it, their coats are very glossy & soft, and they never have upset stomachs. I believe there was a production issue back in 2021, which made some of the packs around that time of bad quality?...imagine this is where some of the poor reviews have come from. Understand they have since changed manufacturer, and as I say, we have only good things to report, having purchased since early 2023

One of few natural DRY cat foods

If you check the FIRST THREE ingredients from the list you will see- real meat was used. Dry food ain’t really needed for cats in my opinion but sometimes - why not. And if you need to find one that is actually made of real meat - this is it!

Tiny, tiny pieces!

Quality seems to have greatly improved since the 2021 recall (made in different factory now) but the pieces are very tiny - my 4-month-old Burmese kittens prefer something they can really crunch on!

Diarrhea

My kitten has had non stop diarrhea from this food and cries each time before going to the toilet.

Bengals!!!

As a Bengal Cat breeder I have found it nearly impossible to find a dry food option for this breed of cat that doesn’t cause huge digestive upset. My cats are raw fed and now thankfully have a dry food option that works beautifully. No nasty poops, love the dry ate it straight away without any fuss. I’m forever thankful to Applaws for making such a high quality grain free dry food. Thank you again BengalLegacyCats

Terrible!

We were doing a lot of research of the best possible dry food for our kitten. Applaws made it to the top. As it is usually out of stock here we decided to try to buy small pack from amazon and if we'd like it then buy 7.5kg here. Thats what we did and when we received 7.5kg it was so different from the one we got on amazon. Immediately my kitten wasnt eating that much and started to throw up. Maybe we got an old batch from amazon, before the ingredient change. Never again!

Such a shame not what it use to be

My kitten has always been on this hard food with a selection of their wet food had no problem GREAT... all of a sudden we struggled to get a the food and heard they where changing ingredients ever since then she's had really bad diarrhea, she was put on tablet and no luck we stopped her wet food and no luck and then I figured out soon as she ate hard food that's when it happened... soon as she eat it like liquid.... such a shame as she loved this food.

Horrible, never again

My cats have been having diarrhea every time after eating these biscuits. I did not realise and kept trying to find a cause until I came across some reviews here stating the same. I also read reviews for other flavours of this brand and it was the same. Cats having diarrhea and it seems when a bigger pack is purchased. i am getting rid of all Applaws products and switching to a better safer brand.

Top Kitten Food

My 7 months old kitten only eats this brand (and in addition some Schesir Kitten wet food): this dry food is great quality, she always eats it in full and thanks to the good ingredients she is growing healthy: full of energy, shiny fur, normal stools. I normally purchase the large 7kg bag and then transfer into sealed containers to keep it fresh: this way I manage to save a little as it is a bit pricier than supermarket brands. Definitely worth every penny.

Great quality food

Been using this for a few months now. My kitties love it!

13/10/20|karl

its cat food

She eats it but she doesn't like it anymore than any of the other so-called cheap nasty dry foods. No noticeable changes in coat eyes behaviour. It says all the right things on the packaging but at the end of the day it's cat food and I'm not sure the price tag warrants me me to regularly buy this.

Pot Luck

My kitten had been used to this so I ordered some more, when it arrived I noticed it was a lot darker in colour which should have set alarm bells ringing. Instant diarrhea! so I contacted Applaws who informed due to seasonal variations in ingredients used the recipe can change slightly hence the upset stomachs. Not going to risk the smell or mess again

Applaws dry food

My kittens and mothers love these biscuits! Almost put 4* just as they are expensive for feeding a big litter of kittens but... it’s still worth investing in a good quality dry food to make sure they are getting a complete diet.

Excellent

Our kitten loves this food!

23/07/20|Sarah

Excellent value

I chose this because the meat content is higher than any other I've seen for the price, and the protein sits at a more than reasonable 38% for growing kitties. Kibbles are small and uniform. I ordered the 2 economy bags and they are ENORMOUS. I'm not sure I'll ever need to order more kitten food again. The downside is that I was expecting them to be resealable like the tiny bags are but they're not so the bag must be meticulously taped up or use a bag resealer gadget.

High in protein and good for sensitive tummies

Our Scottish Straight kitten has a very sensitive tummy and not a great eater however after spending a fortune trying different dry foods, he seems happy with this one and his tummy is absolutely fine on the grain free. Zooplus offer great customer service and are very competitive on price - I won't shop anywhere else for my cats.

Gleaming Silky Coats

My 2 9mth Himalayan x girls love it. They were on some terrible whiskers biscuit with mum, I changed to this over 1mth and they have done really well but they do drink a lot and occasional loose poos. Due to Start trial of Orijen which is the expensive comparable, made with fresh not dry meat and less carbs to see if these final niggles subside. I still recommend this food as my girls coats are amazingly silky and they are very spritely. Will move back if no improvements.

18/01/20

Kittens love it

I chose this as it showed best grain-free dry food available for kittens with the right meat and fat content and all 3 of my 6-month old kittens love it.

My two come running.....

I’ve been feeding two feral kittens (since their mother brought them to me,) on applaws kitten food. They are doing really well on this, lovely shine to their coats. Wouldn’t feed anything else now! It loses a star because it’s not british chicken, which is a disappointment.
