Applaws dry food
Hi,
I'd like to know if any of you has used this food. It's very new in Italy (not here I believe?) so I'm looking for opinions from someone who might have been tried it for a while... From the label it looks great for the ingredients, but the ashes are quite high, which, together with very high level of calcium and phosphorus, suggests altogether a high presence of minerals... What do you think about this? The other doubt I have is more personal: both my cats are very sensitive, I have been feeding them RC Sensible 33 for a while, and I have just bought this Applaws, but the 2 foods are very different in composition, being the second grain free and high in proteins, so do you think I might change more gradually than usual? I think this new kind of food should be fine with sensitive cats being more similar to their natural diet, but I'm afraid they might have problems at the beginning... Thanks Last edited by Ludovica; 15-08-2009 at 09:46 AM.. |

Re: Applaws dry food
The 1st batch I bought made my cats be sick, it smelt horrible and they weren't too interested.
However, they've changed it now and the smell is better and it seems the cats will eat it now. I suggest buying a small bag and seeing how you go. |

Re: Applaws dry food
Just add little bits of the applaws to their usual biscuits and gradually increase the amount of applaws and decrease their old biscuits over time.
If you do it too fast it MAY upset their stomaches. |

I will just say that, it is still very STINKY, and I mean VILE stinking. both my Asian and Bengal will not go within a mile of it... a better alternative is Bozita kitten dry and also Orijen - they're both pleasant aromas and both my two greedy guts eat them like starving maniacs ![]() |

I feed my two cats Applaws dry with absolutely no problem. I do mix in a small fixed percentage of some Hill's Dry Adult though, which noticeably reduce the smell from the litter tray! |

Re: Applaws dry food
I do this. Mine aren't dependent on one brand & it's good when there are offers at Pets At Home to go from ProPlan to Applaws to JWB by mixing them all the time. They are always interested too. Never had a problem with any dry varieties as a result.
