ParticipantJust discovered Applaws at my local pet store it’s a UK brand claiming 75% real meat/fish content. The ingredient lists are super short and simple which I like.
The cans look different than typical cat food more like human tuna cans. Has anyone tried this brand? Is it actually as natural and high-quality as they claim?
Curious about both wet and dry formulas! Worth trying?
Thanks ๐๐พ

ParticipantAPPLAWS IS INCREDIBLE!! ๐ We switched to their tuna with seaweed formula 6 months ago and my cat is OBSESSED. You open the can and it literally looks like tuna YOU would eat actual flakes of fish in natural broth. No jelly, no gravy, just pure fish and broth. My cat’s coat has never been shinier and her energy is amazing.
The 75% meat content is real you can see it with your own eyes. Yes it’s pricey at about $2.50 per can but the quality is restaurant level. She licks the bowl completely clean every single time and meows for more. Plus the UK quality standards give me confidence in what I’m feeding. ๐โจ

ParticipantMy cat wasn’t interested unfortunately ๐ I think the lack of gravy or sauce threw him off? He’s used to foods with thick gravy that coats everything. The natural broth style was too plain for his taste I guess? He sniffed it, took a few licks of the broth, and left all the meat.
Maybe better for cats who prefer simple, natural textures. The quality looked absolutely top notch though just didn’t match his preferences. Such a shame because I really wanted it to work. ๐ฑ๐

ParticipantOMG THIS SOUNDS PERFECT!! ๐ I’ve been looking for cat food with minimal ingredients and no artificial stuff. The fact that it looks like human-grade tuna gives me so much confidence. I hate mystery meat in typical cat foods.
Definitely ordering a variety pack this weekend to try different flavors. Which protein does your cat like best tuna, chicken, or salmon?? So excited to find a truly natural option. Thanks for sharing. ๐โจ

ParticipantPet nutritionist perspective. ๐ฉโโ๏ธ Applaws takes a “less is more” approach which I appreciate! Their wet foods are complementary (not complete) meaning they’re meant to supplement a balanced diet, not replace it entirely important distinction. The ingredient lists are impressively minimal often just meat/fish and broth, nothing else.
UK/EU standards are strict about what can be called “natural” unlike US marketing. The 75% meat content is legitimate and provides excellent protein. Just ensure you’re also feeding complete/balanced foods or supplementing appropriately for long-term health. Used correctly, Applaws is fantastic for hydration and quality protein. ๐โจ

ParticipantCOST COMPARISON: ๐ฐ
Applaws wet 2.47oz: $2.30-$2.80 per can
Applaws dry: $3.80-$4.50 per pound
Weruva 3oz: $2.50-$3.50 per can
Tiki Cat 2.8oz: $2.20-$2.80 per can
Fancy Feast 3oz: $0.75-$1.00 per canApplaws is definitely premium priced. The cans are slightly smaller too (2.47oz vs 3oz standard) so you’re paying more per ounce. However the quality is exceptional truly natural ingredients with no fillers, thickeners, or additives. My cat eats less because it’s so protein-rich and satisfying. When you factor in the purity and quality, it’s reasonable for what you’re getting. Worth it if your budget allows for ultimate natural nutrition. ๐๐พ

ParticipantTHE BROTH IS AMAZING!! ๐ป Unlike thick artificial gravy in most cat foods, Applaws has this light natural cooking broth that cats LOVE. My girl drinks every drop before even touching the meat. The hydration benefit is incredible she’s getting moisture naturally from her food instead of me constantly worrying about her water intake.
Her urinary health has improved since switching because she’s properly hydrated now. The simplicity of just meat and natural broth is perfect. No weird thickeners or artificial flavors needed. ๐๐

ParticipantUK QUALITY STANDARDS!! ๐ฌ๐ง European pet food regulations are stricter than US in many ways. What they can label as “natural” is heavily regulated it actually has to BE natural. Applaws is made in Thailand but owned by UK company following European standards.
The transparency about sourcing and ingredients gives me major confidence. No misleading marketing or hidden junk ingredients. What you see on the label is truly what you get in the can. ๐ชโจ

Tuna varieties: Tuna fillet, tuna with seaweed, tuna with prawn
Chicken:Fish options: Mackerel, sardine, salmon
Ocean fish: Mixed seafood varietiesLove the variety of natural proteins. I rotate through different options weekly so my cat gets nutritional diversity and never gets bored. She loves trying new flavors and the quality is consistent across all proteins. ๐๐ฑ

ParticipantPERFECT FOR PICKY EATERS!! ๐ฏ My cat is ridiculously selective and has refused hundreds of dollars worth of food over the years. The natural simplicity of Applaws finally won her over. I think the lack of artificial flavors and strong additives appeals to cats with sensitive palates.
She can taste the actual FISH or CHICKEN without all the chemical interference. Her enthusiasm at mealtime is something I’ve never seen before. If you have a notoriously difficult eater, the pure natural taste of Applaws might be exactly what they’re looking for. ๐๐

ParticipantHYDRATION BOOST!! ๐ง My cat had chronic mild dehydration issues and barely touched her water bowl! The vet was always concerned about her kidney health because of it. Since adding Applaws to her diet (the natural broth is irresistible to her), her hydration markers are perfect.
She eagerly drinks all the broth from every can which significantly boosts her daily water intake. Her urinary health has been flawless since the switch and vet is no longer worried. Sometimes cats just prefer getting moisture from food rather than a bowl. ๐ปโจ

ParticipantCOMPLEMENTARY VS COMPLETE!! โ ๏ธ Important note many Applaws wet foods are labeled “complementary” not “complete & balanced” This means they’re designed to be toppers or supplements, not sole nutrition sources.
I use Applaws wet as meal toppers over complete dry food for best of both worlds. The dry food formulas ARE complete though. Just read labels carefully and feed appropriately. Mixing complementary wet with complete dry gives nutritional balance plus hydration and natural protein. ๐ฑ๐

Participant10 months with Applaws and couldn’t be happier!! ๐ My cat Sophie has transformed from a picky, chronically dehydrated, dull coated cat into a thriving, hydrated, gorgeous girl. The simplicity and purity of Applaws just WORKS for her. Her coat is silky and shiny like never before, her energy is sustained and playful throughout the day, her hydration is finally perfect, and she actually ENJOYS mealtime now.
Yes I spend about $85/month which is significant, but her health improvements are worth every penny. The UK quality standards combined with truly minimal ingredients give me total confidence in what I’m feeding. I love that I can open a can and actually SEE recognizable fish or chicken no mystery meat paste or weird textures. It looks like food I would eat which makes me feel good about giving it to my cat! If you want truly natural, simple, high-quality cat food without artificial additives or fillers, APPLAWS is the answer. Your cat will be healthier, better hydrated, and more satisfied. The visible quality and purity are unmatched! Highly recommend for cats who deserve real food. ๐ป๐๐ฌ๐ง

ParticipantIโve been feeding my cats Applaws canned cat food for a few months, and they seem to love it! The texture looks like real meat, not that mushy stuff you see in other wet foods. I usually buy the chicken with pumpkin flavor it smells fresh and my cats lick their bowls clean. I also appreciate that Applaws natural cat food doesnโt use artificial colors or grains. For the price, it feels premium. Iโd recommend it for anyone looking for a cleaner, more natural option for their cats.

ParticipantMy senior cat is thriving on the Applaws senior cat food. Her fur looks glossier and sheโs much more active lately. I like that the ingredients list is short and easy to read mostly real meat and broth. I sometimes mix in a bit of Applaws wet cat food pouch when she wants something softer, and she absolutely devours it. I think Applaws has done a good job keeping things natural without adding unnecessary fillers. Definitely worth trying if you have an older cat.
