excellent food.
I had need giving my 4 cats pro plan which they loved but my partners 18month old was losing weight so he looked around and saw this. Thinking the 80% chicken sounded good he tried it, she loved it so to save pennies he bought a big bag to try all of them on. All 4 of mine instantly took to it. Dora has now gained weight and looks so much healthier. They all have lovely shiny smooth coats and don't bug me in the day for more. So small an amount does the job.. we took advantage of the buy big bag get small bag free and had the special 2 bags for £67 . Excellent food at a great price, Thank you x

Great food but they can't keep it down!
I have 4 cats, 3 tonkinese boys and 1 Siamese rescue female. The tonkie boys cope ok with this food if mixed with their old faithful smilla sensible but Chloe my Siamese chucks up the food 10 mins after eating. I think it's just too rich for her. The quality is great but unfortunately they all have diahorrea on it and Chloe can't keep it down so I'll be back to smilla sensible next month. I think if you start them on this quite young your cats will be fine.

Happy Cat
I acquired my cat because he was a stray living in my garden. He got his head and jaw bitten by a neighbour's dog so I was feeding him soft foods as he seemed to have difficulty biting. Then he got a bad injury on his back so he became (and remains) an indoor cat as it took 18 months for him to heal completely. He was always a shy cat and not in the least playful. I assumed it was because his injuries must have left scarring and he was old. So imagine my surprise when he became lively, friendly and playful over a year ago. It wasn't an overnight change but very fast. I have been puzzling about what changed him, but I suddenly realised that I had changed his food to Applaws just then.
He really enjoys it, and is never picky. (He used to turn his nose up at the other food all the time.) He doesn't have any trouble chewing it though when he overeats and regurgitates some I see he swallows it whole which would explain that. But it is small so that is OK. Long may Applaws thrive and continue to make this food that has rejuvenated my poor cat.
And no, I don't have any connection with the manufacturers or advertising companies!

Good stuff...but not for my fussy Cat
I was so pleased when I first saw these on offer, 80% meat! I snapped a few bags up, but my Benji was just not interested..she is soooo fussy!! Now I stick to Royal Canin Sensible, Fit 32, and Exigent 33 Aromatic Attraction, to give her variety, and she loves them

All my cat will eat now!
This food is so good that my cat will now not eat anything else! She was only eating bozita wet food for a long time (the cans) and loved that. The vet advised me to give her some dry food as well as she was getting a build up of plaque.
Dry food used to give her the runs, I think because of the cereal they add to it so I did my research and found applaws to be the best. She was having bozita wet and applaws dry for a while, then ordered the bozita tetra packs which she would only lick the jelly and leave the meat (very annoying) so gave her the bozita cans again but now won't eat either!
She used to drink no water on wet only food but now drinks a lot so even though the dry food obviously has little water content cats will replace this as needed. The food also lasts a long time as they only need around 40g for the whole day so it is very cost affective as well. It is a complete food so has everything in it they need, my fluffy persian has a beautiful soft, shiney coat and lots of energy. Another bonus is as she is a house cat her poos are a lot less smelly!

Perfect food
My elderly cat (15 years) was having all sorts of problems weight gain dry coat and just generally fussy. She loves this food and she has lost a little weight her coat and eyes look better and this and the wet Applaws food is a joy to handle.
It really does look good enough to eat.

Excellent food
I started feeding my cat Applaws food several years ago as she had put a bit of weight on and as an old bird (14) i was concerned about the associated health problems. She has a combination of Applaws dry and a variety of either Applaws wet food or similar organic wet food. She has lost weight slowly and maintained a healthy weight. Her coat is the silkiest coat ever (people comment!) And she bounds around like a 2 year old! The added bonus is that (so far)it is British.

Good quality food - but my cat doesn't like it
Excellent quality food, but the cat won't eat it! I've tried mixing Applaws with Hill's (her preferred brand) to try to move her over to it, but as soon as there's a whole bowl of Applaws on its own, she scratches at the mat and leaves most of it uneaten. She loves the Applaws pouches, so it is just the dry food that she doesn't like.
Applaws dry food is very good quality and has no grains, which so many other dry cat food brands have in them. I first bought this food as I would like to switch my cat over to a diet with fewer carbs. I have had a similar issue with Orijen, which is also excellent quality, so I suspect she simply doesn't like the taste of all-protein dried food. Unfortunately she initially seemed to love Orijen so I bought a large bag, and now have a 10kg bag of a food the cat just won't eat!
If your cat has been eating a dry food which contains more grains, my advice is to try out a couple of small sacks before you buy any of the big ones so that you don't waste your money if it then goes off the food, as mine did!

Great food
I used to feed my cat GoCat dry food he used to like it but then I found out that they use alot of fillers in them. I did my research and applaws is a great brand made with real chicken. Had to gradually introduce this brAnd with the GoCat but he nows eats this without a fuss...Feed your cat good quality food!!!!

Applaws dry cat food stopped my kitty from watery poo
My Siamese has always had runny poo and last year was doing puddles and water... I switched to the dry food and he has had very few accidents - I suspect only when he licked something from a pan which he should have not done. His stool are properly formed and he is a 100 times better.... which proves he can function normally. Never realised cats too can be allergic to cereal. Wish I had found this years ago.

best dry cat food
My bengal loves this food and as dry food goes, this I believe is one of the best and being high in meat protein and grain free is the much healthier option for anyone concerned with giving their cat a healthy diet. Would only feed in conjunction with a wet diet though due to the low water content of dry foods.

very good
My ragdoll kitten really enjoys these kibbles and took to them straightaway after being raised on JWB (which i also like). I've chosen the product for being cereal free. He also has a portion of wet food a day. I'm very pleased with it, and feel reassured that my kitten is getting good nutrition, though it is important to remember that male cats shouldn't be on a mainly dry food diet.

Good quality product the cats love
I changed to Applaws dry kitten food as a couple of other "good quality" ones caused my kitten to have diarrhoea. Since changing to Applaws the diarrhoea has stopped and the kitten loves it. It also has the highest meat content of any dry food and there's no bulking up with uneccessay cereals

Great
We recently changed our cats food to this one, from Whiskas. Millie is a 6and a half year old neutered female. She has a bit of sensitive stomach, and was on Hills Sensitive for months, but she was constantly hungry and pestered for food. We changed her to whiskas, which seemed much better, but we were recommended to try this one, but to do it gradually as it could cause diahreea with a sudden change. So far its been fantastic (I'll admit the litter trays smelled awful during the change over period, but are much better now, with hardly any smell at all). She no longer mithers for food all the time, but loves teh food when its been put down. her fur is lovely and shiney, and much healthier. She's a lot better in herself, and more active, and its been fantastic for her weight. We've now started buying the kitten food for our 6 month old neutered male, and he's been great on it too. Great purchase

No problems, but part of varied dry food diet
My Birman tends to go off his food if it's the same thing every day (wouldn't you?), so we leave two or three bowls of different types of Royal Canin kibbles around the house so he doesn't get bored. I started feeding him this as well and although he likes it, it's never the first bowl that he empties. Some people have reported loose stools etc which may be due to the high protein content. I haven't seen any such problem since we got it a month ago. But this might be due to it being part of a varied diet.

It's all good...
We have always (as all good cat lovers do!), thought carefully about what exactly we put in front our three furry bandits. Over the nine years we have had our cats, we have used Hills (not good!), James Wellbeloved (much better, one still a bit vomity) and now this food. Not one of the cats have been sick on it and it's been over two months. There have been no loose/bloody stools and I think the stripey one has lost a little bit of weight even...
Somewhere on here, a vet gives advice on swapping over and you just have to take it slowly and over a number of weeks. I feel this is the best food I can get for my cats and they go crazy when you pour into their bowls. And that's good enough for me!

Siberian cat loves this
My cat loves this food and the Applaws chicken wet food, especially the pouches. She has never had any health problems with it, and had no problems changing over. She is also the most gorgous sweet cat and purrs greatly when the food is being got ready.
