Cats, as obligate carnivores, thrive on a diet that's rich in animal protein because it's much easier for them to convert into the energy they need. Applaws gives all the goodness of a diet rich in high quality animal protein... conveniently packed into a single bag. Many dry cat foods use grains as their primary source of protein. Diets that contain high levels of grain can be hard for cats to digest and convert into energy. This could stress the liver and kidneys and can lead to the development of sensitivities and allergies. Grains such as wheat, sorghum, barley, rice and corn are also a major source of carbohydrate and high levels can produce surges in blood sugar making it more difficult for cats to maintain healthy levels of weight and or body fat. Meat or animal protein contains virtually no carbohydrates and encourages the development of lean muscle tissue.This is the reason why chicken is the only animal protein used in Applaws dry food. Many cats with grain related allergies have found relief with a grain free diet. Applaws also contains a natural pre-biotic and pro-biotic which may encourage the presence of protective and friendly bacteria in the gut and support a healthy immune system.
