Applaws Adult Chicken & Salmon - cat dry food

It's been my go-to choice since my cats were kittens, 6 years buying it and never had any issues. Their coats were great and digestion was spot on. About a year ago, though, I noticed changes in my female cat—she started scratching and had small bald patches, loads of trips to the vet to figure out what was going on. Then, about 3 months ago, my male cat started losing quite a bit of weight. After countless check-ups with vets, turns out my female cat doesn't tolerate the product well and my male cat doesn't like it, so he'd rather not eat. Wish I'd read the recent reviews sooner.

They weren’t to their liking, probably because they’re made only with meat meal, not fresh or dehydrated. They ate 2-3 just because they were hungry. The kibbles are small, so they’re not crunchy. At least they’re not crumbly.

Applaws Adult Chicken & Salmon - 7.5 kg Kibble shrunk – but why? Up until now, I’ve happily been feeding this supposedly good food to my 7-year-old lady cat, and she’s always enjoyed it. However, with my latest order, I noticed that the kibble size has gone from about 1cm in diameter to half that (0.5cm), plus the colour is darker and the smell has changed too. I’ll be switching to a different food!

Here are two cats who used to love this food... So I bought another 7.5 kg bag, but apparently the kibble has been changed and now they absolutely refuse to eat it. And one of them will eat anything, so that really says something.

My cat is losing weight completely because the size of the kibble has changed again. Now he has to eat a lot more of the same food just to maintain his weight. Such a shame, because it used to be a great kibble, but thanks to shrinkflation it’s become nonsense.
