75% meat and in small kibble size



Applaws has introduced a small kibble size to its 75% meat dry food range which is suitable for small breeds of dogs.

“Dry food doesn’t always mean healthy food especially if it’s packed with cereals or grains like wheat, maize, barley rice, sorghum or soya,” says Mark Frampton, Product Development Manager at Applaws.

“As a general rule, the higher the meat content the better it is for your dog, and Applaws are proud to offer the world’s first 75% meat complete dry dog food to be made without cereal (the other 25% being vegetables and natural extracts).”

Applaws complete dry food can help dogs maintain a healthy and active lifestyle because it doesn’t contain cereals or grain and is therefore low in carbohydrate, which means less build-up of body fat which is ideal for small breeds of dogs.

It is also good news for those dogs that suffer from food intolerances and allergies. The food is also packed full of natural omega oils, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to help with your dog’s joints, coat, skin, eyesight, muscle tone and immune system.

It also contains both pre-biotics and an active Pro-biotic from Beta-gulcan both of which may help which may encourage the presence of protective and friendly bacteria in the gut which in turn can help to improve both immune and digestive systems.

Applaws Dry Complete has been formulated to have a meat only protein level comparable to fresh whole chicken (When compared on a dry weight basis). Apart from the obvious health benefits, this also means that you can actually feed your r dog less than many other dry foods and they will still feel full and satisfied.

This make Applaws excellent value, costing as little as 22p per meal for a normal diet (based on 2kg pack- 70meals-22p per meal).
