Still have questions?

Here are some FAQs but feel free to reach out to us anytime here.
Can I feed Applaws to my kitten?

Yes, from 12 weeks old – they’ll love every nibble. All Applaws cat food recipes can be served to kittens at 12 weeks and over. Our recipes are packed with quality protein, and natural vitamins and minerals, so cats of any breed, at any age can thrive on an Applaws diet. If your kitten has special dietary requirements, or you are unsure about any aspect of feeding your kitten, speak to your Vet to put your mind at rest.

What is the difference between complete food and complementary food?

Complete pets food such as Applaws dry, contains all the vitamins and minerals your furry friends needs to be healthy. If you only feed your pet complete food and provide lots of fresh water for them to drink, they will receive the all nutrition their body needs. Complementary pet foods are not designed to be the only source of food for your pet. They are a great way to add variety, flavour and essential vitamins to their diet but should be served with some complete dry food. At Applaws, our natural, wet complementary recipes contain real meat and fish. These prime cuts provide your pet with naturally high levels of vitamins, taurine and arginine and they are a great way to make dry meals more interesting.
Portion sizes will depend on your pet:
If you have cat, we suggest you leave a bowl of Applaws dry out all day for them to graze on and then serve a wet complementary meal in the morning and evening.
If you have a dog, feed them Applaws dry during the day and serve a complementary wet meal by itself or as a topper on their dry food.

How do I switch my cat’s food to Applaws?

We’re so glad you asked. It’s important to introduce any new food to your cat gradually, over a period of 10 days. Sudden changes in their diet can result in an upset stomach or digestive issues, so it’s best to start small and build up slowly. Applaws dry is a high protein, grain-free cat food which your furry friend will love but they will need to adjust to – depending on their previous diet. It is not uncommon for your cat’s toilet habits to change. You may see looser stools during this transitional period, but over time they should firm up again – a good sign of a healthy digestive system.

Why grain free cat food?

When our founders started Applaws, they discovered that most commercial cat foods contain high levels of cereals and grains which are cheap and filling but not necessarily beneficial to the health of our cats. Some can even cause allergies, itching and digestive issues. While cats are able to tolerate some level of grain, they are carnivores and their bodies are at their healthiest when they get their protein from meat and not cereals. The main source of protein in Applaws cat food is quality meat, like chicken breast or tuna. We make sure our recipes replicate your cat’s natural diet, as closely as possible, so you can serve happiness in every bowl.

Is Applaws cat food gluten free?

Yes it is. Gluten from cereals and grains can sometimes cause problems such as skin allergies in some cat. Applaws grain free dry cat food is particularly suitable for cats that suffer from gluten intolerance. Our wet cat food contains a maximum of 4% rice but it’s worth noting that rice does not contain gluten.

How much should I feed my cat?

On the back of each Applaws pack, and on our product pages on our website you will find our handy feeding guides – portion sizes will vary and depend on the age, activity level and general health of your cat. As a general guide, we suggest you feed your cat a bowl of complete dry cat food morning and evening along with a complementary wet meal, such as Applaws Cat Tins. One in the morning and one in the evening – don’t forget to always leave a bowl of fresh water out for your cat. If your cat has special dietary requirements, or you are unsure about any aspect of feeding your cat, speak to your Vet to put your mind at rest.

Why natural cat food?

Natural ingredients help to keep pets happy and healthy – naturally. At Applaws, this is our core belief and at the heart of everything we do. We simply believe everyone, humans and cats, thrive better by eating natural food with no colours or flavours.
The best way to feed your cat is with a natural diet that their bodies were designed for. Like the big wild cats, your feline friend is also a carnivore. They need meat from protein (not cereals and grains) and essential vitamins from vegetables and fruits to stay happy and healthy. That’s why Applaws recipes have been carefully crafted with natural ingredients. We only use the finest cuts of meat or fish in our wet food range and vitamins and minerals that exist naturally. Our dry food contains extremely high levels of meat at 50% of the recipe and is cereal and grain free.

As our food contains quality meat and essential vitamins and minerals, cats of any breed, at any age, can thrive on an Applaws diet. If your cat has special dietary requirements, or you are unsure about any aspect of feeding your cat, speak to your Vet to put your mind at rest.

Does Applaws cat food contain Taurine?

This is essential for your cat’s health. Taurine is an natural amino acid only found in animal-based meat protein. Many other cat foods have to add taurine to their recipes as they contain very little meat. Not true for Applaws wet cat food. With up to 80% prime meat content, Taurine is naturally occurring so you won’t see it listed on our ingredients. We always recommend that our complementary wet cat foods are served with complete and balanced grain-free cat food to ensure your furry friend has a diet packed with the nutrition they need to thrive.

What should I feed my kitten?

You lucky thing – we love taking care of kittens. From about 10 weeks, your kitten can eat solid food and should be fed to appetite as much as they want.
We believe the best way to feed your kitten is with a natural diet that their bodies were designed for. Like the big wild cats, your little furry friend is also a carnivore. They need protein from meat (not cereals and grains) and essential vitamins from vegetables and fruits. This will support essential brain, bone and teeth development as part of overall health.
That’s why Applaws recipes have been carefully crafted with natural ingredients. We only use the finest cuts of meat or fish in our wet food range and vitamins and minerals which exist naturally. The essential amino acids which kittens need from their food every day, such as taurine, are naturally occurring in the prime meat and fish we use in the Applaws wet cat food range. Our dry food contains extremely high levels of meat at 50% of the recipe and is cereal and grain free.
We recommend serving your kitten complete dry food with a complementary wet food. They may like to have up to eight smaller meals a day – some of these could be in the middle of the night. We recommend a bowl of Applaws complete dry food be left out 24 hours a day. You can then top it up with Applaws wet cat food – don’t forget to always leave a bowl of fresh water out. If your kitten has special dietary requirements, or you are unsure about any aspect of feeding your kitten, speak to your Vet to put your mind at rest.
