FAQs

Is Applaws Chicken with Lamb suitable for kittens?

No, this formula is specifically designed for adult cats. Kittens have different nutritional requirements and require a diet formulated for their life stage.

How long does the 7.5kg bag typically last?

The duration depends on your cat's size and activity level. For a 4-6kg adult cat, a 7.5kg bag could last approximately 8-10 weeks when following the recommended feeding guidelines.

Can I mix this dry food with wet food?

Yes, you can mix Applaws dry food with wet food. It's recommended to adjust the total daily intake to avoid overfeeding. A gradual transition is still advised if introducing the combination for the first time.

What are prebiotics and how do they help my cat?

Prebiotics, like FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) in this food, are non-digestible fibers that feed beneficial bacteria in your cat's gut. This promotes a healthy gut microbiome, aiding digestion and nutrient absorption.

Does this food contain any artificial preservatives?

No, Applaws Natural Chicken with Lamb does not contain artificial preservatives. It uses natural antioxidants like vitamin E and rosemary extract to help maintain freshness.

What is the protein source in this food?

The primary protein sources are high-quality chicken (chicken meal and freshly prepared chicken) and lamb meal, making up 80% of the food.

How should I store the dry cat food?

Store the food in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly after each use to keep it fresh and prevent moisture or air from degrading its quality.

Troubleshooting

Cat refusing to eat the new food

Ensure you are following the gradual transition guidelines. Try adding a small amount of warm water or a tiny bit of wet food topper to entice your cat. Some cats may take longer to adjust.

Digestive upset (diarrhea or vomiting)

You may have transitioned too quickly. Revert to a higher proportion of the old food and slow down the transition process over a longer period (14+ days). If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.

Dry coat or flaky skin

While the food contains Omega fatty acids, individual responses vary. Ensure consistent feeding and adequate water intake. If the issue persists after several weeks, consider a specific skin and coat supplement in consultation with your vet.

Appetite seems low

Verify portion sizes are appropriate using the feeding guide. Ensure the food is stored correctly to maintain palatability. Some cats are naturally less enthusiastic eaters; monitor for weight loss if concerned.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High protein content from quality meats supports feline dietary needs.
  • Grain-free formulation is excellent for digestive health and allergy management.
  • Includes beneficial Omega fatty acids for skin, coat, and overall health.

Cons

  • Requires a gradual transition period to avoid digestive upset.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Transitioning to Applaws: When introducing this food, gradually mix it with your cat's current food over a minimum of ten days. Start with 20% Applaws and 80% old food on days 1-3, increasing to 40% Applaws and 60% old food on days 4-6, then 60% Applaws and 40% old food on days 7-9, and finally 80% Applaws and 20% old food on days 10-12, before switching entirely to Applaws.

Feeding Guide: Adjust portion sizes based on your cat's weight, age, and activity level.

  • 2-4kg Cat: 25-40g (neutered/indoor), 40-60g (outdoor)
  • 4-6kg Cat: 40-50g (neutered/indoor), 60-80g (outdoor)

  • 8kg+ Cat: 60g+ (neutered/indoor), 100g+ (outdoor)

Always ensure fresh, clean water is available for your cat at all times.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Proper storage helps preserve the quality and nutritional integrity of the food.

Compatibility: Suitable for all adult cat breeds. This formula is also beneficial for cats with common sensitivities or allergies to grains.
