Applaws dog food review
Applaws keeps it simple. The food is dry and chicken-based across every breed size, with high protein at around 37 to 39% as fed. Every recipe sits in our Excellent band, transparency reads Outstanding and nutritional balance is Excellent or better. The other side of that is one main protein and a small, kibble-only range.

In detail
Applaws: the closer look
The range
Four products across five recipes, all of them dry and all chicken-based. Small-and-medium, large-breed, puppy and senior formulas cover every breed size.
Ingredients
Chicken is the single main protein throughout. Beet pulp and salmon oil go in too, with glucosamine and chondroitin for joints and botanicals such as peppermint, turmeric and thyme.
Nutrition
This is dense, low-moisture kibble, so protein is high at about 37 to 39% as fed and energy runs around 363 to 399 kcal per 100g. Portions are small.
Strengths
- High-protein recipes built on chicken
- Outstanding transparency on every recipe
- Dry food matched to breed size
Limitations
- Dry only, with no wet, raw or fresh food
- One main protein, chicken, throughout
- A small range of four products
Where it is less of a fit
- Dry only, so check that suits your dog
- Chicken throughout, so check the label if your dog needs variety
- Protein is high, so check the figures against your dog's needs
Score overview
Transparency leads the way, Outstanding on all five recipes, with nutritional balance at Excellent or better. Protein and processing reads Good throughout, as it does on most kibble, and the range stays tidy on one protein.
The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
