Applaws reviews
We don't collect or publish customer star ratings, so this isn't a review in that sense - it's an honest look at what's actually in an Applaws recipe and how the range is put together, so you can judge for yourself whether it suits your cat or dog rather than relying on someone else's rating.
What actually sets the range apart
Applaws recipes are built around a high percentage of a named meat or fish, packed in broth or jelly rather than a thickened gravy. That format tends to mean a simpler ingredients list than a typical budget wet food, and it's the main thing the brand is known for among owners who read labels closely.
The trade-off worth knowing about is that some of the wet cat range is complementary rather than complete, particularly among the mixed-selection multipacks, so it's worth checking each specific product's labelling rather than assuming every pouch in the range is a full meal on its own.
Who the range tends to suit
Applaws suits owners who want a simple, high-meat wet food and are happy to check pack labelling for complete versus complementary recipes, and for the right life stage. It isn't a specialist prescription or veterinary diet, so it isn't the right starting point for a cat or dog with a diagnosed medical condition requiring a specific formulation.
For a cat or dog with no particular dietary restriction who does well on a simple recipe, it's a reasonable option among the wet food available. As with any food, how well an individual cat or dog does on it comes down to that animal rather than the brand's reputation generally.

Common questions
- Why doesn't Giddy Pets show customer reviews?
- We don't currently run a review or rating system for products on the site. Rather than leave that gap unexplained, we've written an honest look at what's actually in the recipe and how the range works, so you have something concrete to judge it by.
- Is Applaws a good brand for a fussy cat?
- Many owners of fussy cats find a simple, high-meat recipe like Applaws appealing, since strong flavours and simple ingredients often go down well with a cat who turns their nose up at more processed food. Individual preference varies enormously, though, and there's no guarantee with any single brand.
- Is Applaws suitable for a cat with health problems?
- It isn't a veterinary or prescription diet, so it isn't the right starting point for a cat with a diagnosed condition needing a specific formulation. If your cat has a known health issue, speak to your vet about what diet is appropriate before choosing a food based on general appeal.
- Does Applaws make food for dogs as well as cats?
- Yes, though the dog range is smaller and mostly built around wet toppers meant to be added to a dry food rather than fed as a complete meal on their own. Check individual packs to see whether a specific product is complete or complementary.
- How do I know which Applaws recipe to try first?
- Start with whatever protein your cat or dog already eats and enjoys, since a familiar flavour is more likely to be accepted than an unfamiliar one. From there, trying a couple of different formats - broth versus jelly, for a cat - is a reasonable way to find a preference.
