Cityscape Bliss // UK lifestyle blog based in Birmingham: Feline Foodology: Complete wet food by Applaws

Today's post in the Feline Foodology series is all about complete wet food. Cookie & Pippin have been on a mission for the past month or so working their way tirelessly through a couple of boxes of the complete wet food by Applaws. Applaws is one of the very first proper foods that I've ever come across and it's also been featured in the CatPacks Starter Pack. The flavours have always tempted me immensely and Cookie used to get a pouch here & there as a treat because I could tell that he had a soft spot for it. But how did the two munchkins feel about an all Applaws wet food diet?

🍽 Complete wet food by Applaws

Applaws food comes in so many different flavours, one more tempting than another. There's chicken with pumpkin, chicken with cheese, mackerels with sardines... So many flavours so little time! Applaws is also the best looking cat food I've come across so far. You can very easily differentiate between pieces of chicken, ham, cheese, rice and any other ingredients. Which is exactly what the composition of this wet food is - it's just 100% natural content with no additives really. No wonder the cats bloody love it so much! For 12 little tins you're paying £10.99 which is not horrendous however it's not particularly cheap either - a monthly supply for Cookie & Pipps works out to be just over £100. Applaws is definitely a brand to stay on the top of our to-scoff list!

Flavours we've tried:
Chicken breast
Chicken breast with ham
Chicken breast with pumpkin
Chicken breast with cheese
Tuna fillet
Ocean fish

Ingredients of the Chicken breast with ham: Chicken breast 75%, chicken broth 19%, ham 5%, rice 1%

To learn more about proper cat food you can grab a copy of Jenny's book Cats off the Carbs here - it's a great little guide if you're looking to start feeding your cat a proper food! And just to reiterate (and give you an example of what kind of information you can find in the book) - a good cat food is

High in animal protein

Moderate in fat

Low in carbohydrates

Have you ever tried reading the labels & deciphering what they mean?

💭 Totally not sponsored - Jenny was kind enough to share her book Cats off the Carbs with me (thank you!) however all the picky feline habits, beany toesies and stinky toots after eating too much of this delicious chicken with pumpkin are our very own.

💭 I don't claim to be an expert in cat food - all my knowledge is gathered from Jenny's book, the internets and my own personal experience, however I'm genuinely hoping this series will help others understand the importance of proper cat food.
