Applaws senior cat food
Applaws is known for wet cat food built around a high proportion of natural meat or fish with a short ingredients list, and their senior range applies the same approach to food aimed at older cats. We stock a selection from the range, including their senior wet recipes.
What makes the senior range different
Applaws' senior recipes follow the brand's usual style — visible, identifiable meat or fish in broth or jelly rather than a processed pâté — while being positioned for cats in their later years. It suits owners who already like the brand's approach and want the same style of food as their cat ages.
As with any senior food, the point is not a single magic ingredient but an overall recipe intended to suit an older cat's needs, which can include being easier to eat for a cat with fewer or more sensitive teeth, since it is a wet, broth-based format rather than dry kibble.
What we stock, and who it suits
Our range includes Applaws' senior wet cat food, such as their senior chicken breast in jelly recipe, alongside other cat and kitten lines from the wider Applaws catalogue. We stock a selection rather than the brand's entire range, and what is available to order can change as stock does.
This tends to suit owners of older cats who prefer a simple, high-meat-content wet food and want to stick with a familiar brand as their cat's needs change with age, rather than owners looking for a dry kibble or a heavily fortified prescription-style diet.

Common questions
- At what age should I switch my cat to a senior food?
- There is no single fixed age, since cats age at different rates, but many owners start considering a senior diet from around seven years old and adjust based on their cat's actual condition, appetite and any advice from their vet at check-ups.
- Is Applaws senior food suitable for a cat with health problems?
- It is a general senior wet food rather than a prescription diet for a specific condition. If your cat has a diagnosed health condition such as kidney disease, speak to your vet about whether a therapeutic diet would be more appropriate before choosing a general senior food.
- Does Giddy Pets stock the full Applaws range?
- No, we stock a selection from the wider Applaws range rather than every product the brand makes. What is shown in the grid above reflects what we currently have available to order, and that can change as stock does.
- Can I switch my older cat to a senior food gradually?
- Yes, and it is the better approach. Mix increasing amounts of the new food in with the old over about a week, watching your cat's appetite and stools, and speak to your vet if they seem unsettled by the change or you have any doubts.
