Buttons and Bows Active is a dry cat food range available in Malaysia in three pack sizes: 18kg, 8kg and 400g. This guide explains what the brand offers, how the formats differ, and how to choose the right one for your cat and household.
What Buttons and Bows Active Sells in Malaysia
Buttons and Bows Active is a dry cat food line listed under Cats > Cat Dry Food > Buttons & Bows. The range currently includes three products, all from the same Active line: Buttons & Bows Active Dry Cat Food 18kg, Buttons & Bows Active Dry Cat Food 8kg, and Buttons & Bows Active Dry Cat Food 400g.
This means Malaysian cat owners can choose from three pack sizes of the same Active formula. The 18kg and 8kg bags are designed for larger households or multi-cat homes, while the 400g pack is a smaller option for trial or short-term feeding. All three are dry cat food, suitable for cats as stated on the packaging.
The brand is listed on PetChill Malaysia under the Buttons & Bows category. You can view the full range on the brand hub at /brands/buttons-and-bows-active. For other cat food options, browse /categories.
How the Product Lines Differ
The Buttons and Bows Active range is straightforward: there is one line, Active, offered in three formats. The difference is purely pack size. The 18kg format is the largest, the 8kg is mid-sized, and the 400g is the smallest.
Because all three products are the same Active dry cat food, the choice comes down to how much food your cat consumes and how you prefer to store it. There are no other lines or flavours listed in the current range.

Who Each Pack Size Suits
The 18kg pack suits multi-cat households or owners who prefer to buy in bulk and store dry food properly. In Malaysia’s hot and humid climate, a large bag should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
The 8kg pack is a practical middle ground for single-cat homes or small multi-cat homes that want to reduce the frequency of reordering without committing to the largest bag.
The 400g pack is ideal for trying the food for the first time, for short-term feeding, or for apartments where storage space is limited. It is also useful for travel or for keeping a small backup supply.
Format Comparison at a Glance
The table below summarises the three formats available in the Buttons and Bows Active range. Use it to compare pack sizes and decide which fits your household.
How to Shortlist the Right Format for Your Cat
Start by estimating your cat’s daily dry food intake. If you have one cat, an 8kg bag may last a reasonable time, while a 400g pack is better for a trial. If you have multiple cats, the 18kg bag can be more convenient.
Consider storage. In Malaysian apartments, space can be tight, and humidity is high. Smaller packs may stay fresher if you cannot store large quantities properly. If you choose a large bag, decant into airtight containers and keep it away from heat and sunlight.
Think about how often you want to reorder. Larger packs mean fewer deliveries but require more storage. Smaller packs mean more frequent orders but less commitment.
Finally, check the product page for the exact product name and size before ordering. The range includes only the three formats listed here.
Feeding and Storage Tips for Malaysian Homes
Dry cat food should be stored in a cool, dry place. In Malaysia’s climate, avoid leaving bags open or near windows where they can be exposed to heat and humidity. Use airtight containers and keep the original packaging for reference.
Always provide fresh drinking water alongside dry food. If your cat is new to the food, transition gradually over several days, mixing with the previous food.
