Product Information
Full details
This Applaws dry dog food is designed for adult small and medium breed dogs seeking a high-quality, grain-free diet. Its primary benefit is supporting easier digestion, weight management, and relief from grain-related allergies, thanks to its 75% chicken content and natural ingredients. A potential consideration is that grain-free diets may not be suitable for all dogs, and a gradual transition is recommended. Key features include a high protein content, natural ingredients, added vitamins and minerals, and a formulation that aids sensitive stomachs and fussy eaters.

FAQs
Is Applaws High Protein Dry Dog Food suitable for puppies or large breeds?
This specific product is formulated for adult small and medium breed dogs. Applaws offers separate formulations for puppies and large breed adult dogs.
What does 'grain-free' mean for my dog?
Grain-free means the food does not contain common cereal grains like wheat, corn, barley, or rice. This can be beneficial for dogs with sensitivities or allergies to these ingredients.
How much should I feed my dog?
Feeding guidelines vary based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. Refer to the specific feeding chart on the product packaging for the most accurate recommendations.
Can I mix this with wet food?
Yes, you can mix Applaws dry food with Applaws wet food or other complementary wet foods. Remember to adjust the total feeding amount to maintain your dog's ideal body condition.
What is the source of Omega-6 in this food?
The Omega-6 fatty acids are naturally derived from the high-quality ingredients used in the formulation, primarily from the chicken.
How do I transition my dog to Applaws food?
It is recommended to transition gradually over 7-10 days. Start by mixing 25% new food with 75% old food, then increase the proportion of new food every few days until your dog is eating 100% Applaws.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Yes, Applaws uses sustainable packaging, including recyclable metal tins and cardboard packaging.
Troubleshooting
Dog refusing to eat the new food
Ensure a gradual transition from the old food over 7-10 days. You can also try slightly warming the food or adding a small amount of warm water to enhance aroma and palatability.
Slight digestive upset (e.g., loose stools) after switching
This can be normal during the transition period. Continue the gradual switch and ensure plenty of fresh water is available. If symptoms persist beyond a week, consult your veterinarian.
Food not staying fresh
Make sure the bag or container is properly sealed after each use. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity. Use within the recommended timeframe after opening.
