Applaws in the usa

Hay i'm just wondering who buys applaws and live in the usa?

tomorrow i'm going to order it from Amazon and try it i herd it was a good cat food and when i saw it on amazon i got excited because i thought i'll never get it ad when i get it in the mail and feed it to my cats i will l let you guys know if they liked it or not

It looks like it isn't a complete food? Honestly, I'd just cook up some chicken or tuna (or whatever) myself, instead of paying $2 a can for the same stuff :tongue2:.

They have a clicky for a store locator on their website, but it just says "coming soon" when I click on it. Maybe there will be a local retailer in your area, hopefully they get the store locator running soon.

Hope your kitties enjoy their treats!

thanks the nature variety instinct wet i buy cost average 2.35 for each can so that dont bother me much and i'm not making it a 100% of the diet i'm still getting there other wet and other stuff i get i just want to see if my cats like it and i don't have a big fridge or freazer to do the chicken cooking

and how long does it take amazon to ship ? i live in il

They have it in Australia and are selling it off very cheaply.  It's my guess that it's because there was some concern about the fact that they were saying that they didn't need to add taurine:

Applaws is naturally rich in Taurine which is an amino acid essential for the proper function of the Heart and for Eye health. Taurine is found in good quality meat protein and not in cereal protein. Cats require a high level of Taurine for their body functions, yet have limited enzymes which can produce Taurine from other amino acids such as methionine and cysteine. Therefore, they need a diet that is high in Taurine. If Taurine is deficient, signs such as a heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy, retinal degeneration, reproductive failure, and abnormal kitten development can occur.

In many other brands the level of natural Taurine can be very low which is why they need to add Taurine (often synthetic) to their food to meet the minimum standard required by a cat. Applaws does not need to add additional Taurine as our products are packed full of natural Taurine from the high levels of natural meat used, which contain Taurine which are well above the minimum levels required for cats.

However this has been proven incorrect, as the cooking/canning process removes most of the taurine.  They even state on the can that it is just a 'supplemental' food to be fed occaisionally.

To me this is just an incredibly over-priced, not very healthy canned food.

It shows the ingredients and guaranteed analysis to make it easier to compare to other products and it also clearly states that the product isn't complete and balanced which others seemed unsure about. 

my cats LOVE applaws! I have 4, one with allergies, one overweight, and one 4 month old kitten.  They all devour applaws wet food, something I have not seen with any other brand
