I started using Applaws wet cat food for my cat a few months ago. My cat was throwing up and I tried many different cat foods including ones for sensitive stomach. I’m knocking on wood however my cat has not thrown up Applaws cat food as of yet. I do notice she seems still hungry after a can. I just give her extra protein such as turkey and treats that agree with her.

In reply to Lori Allhiser. Hi Lori! Applaws loin treats are a good high-protein option for cats but keep in mind that they aren't nutritionally balanced. If you're pairing them with a balanced dry/wet food diet like you said, just be sure the treats make up no more than 10% of your cat's daily intake. You want most of your cat's calories to come from a nutritionally complete formula. So, depending on your cat's size and calorie intake, it might be better to offer the loins just a few times a week or only offer partial pieces daily.

In reply to Lulu. What are your thoughts on Applaws Tuna loin, Salmon loin Chicken loin treat as an everyday choice along with a good balanced dry food and a wet food as a diet ( my concern is sodium in their loin options ) Thank you

Oh no! Could it have been one of the recipes that contains cheese or pumpkin that gave it an orange color? It doesn’t look like there have been any recalls since the 2021 recall of Applaws dry cat food in the UK (link: https://applaws.com/uk/drycatfoodproductrecall/).

My cat loves the Applaws Natural Cat foo Chicken Selection in Broth. However, this morning I opened a new can and it was very very orange and yellow color instead of the white color – I threw it out. I am scared to feed her anymore cans of this food – has there been any recalls –

In reply to Amy. Hi Amy, I agree—we should have reduced the score more. Fixing this.

In reply to Mallory Crusta. The recall is for pancytopenia, a fatal feline illness. hence a 9 out of 10 for recall is a bit generous? I see for other cat food brand like Feline Natural your website put 5 out of 10? Doesn’t make sense.

In reply to Sharon. What a frustrating response! Unfortunately, we are not able to get a precise carbohydrate value, either, as this information cannot be fully inferred from the guaranteed analysis and would need to be provided by the company.

Sporadically, over the summer I had to supply and oversee the feeding of my sister’s cats. Discovered that one of them particularly liked the Applaws chicken in broth recipe (which is actually chicken and rice in broth). It was served mixed with a nutritionally complete pate. Recently this cat was diagnosed with diabetes. (For many years my sister had fed her cats cheap carb-packed dry food as the primary food.) I contacted Applaws to find the carb levels of the chicken&rice and chicken with gravy recipes. In my request I stated that I understood that it was a nutritionally incomplete food, and that I would like to continue using it as a supplemental food for a diabetic cat. They said that they said, “As the food is complementary, we cannot guarantee the specific level” (of carbs). “As your cat has specific dietary requirements, your vet can advise if our food is suitable for your cat and also provide detailed feeding guidance.” I had already received desired carb levels for this cat from the vet. I told Applaws again that I was aware that it was a complimentary food, but that I could not even use it as a topper unless I knew the carb levels. They responded with the same canned response.

In reply to Anne. Hi Anne, thank you for the comment! You're going to need to separate the two cats' foods. The overweight cat should be given a good, low-calorie wet food (perhaps one of the options in our list of the best cat food for weight loss). I would also like to confirm that the older cat doesn't have any health issues causing her to lose weight. Addressing that underlying issue should be the top priority.
