Encore: the closer look
The range
Three products in one range, Encore Trays Paté. All three are wet, all three are adult, and each leads on a different protein: beef, chicken and lamb. There are no puppy or senior recipes, no breed-size splits, and no dry or raw line beside the trays.
Ingredients
One tray each for beef, chicken and lamb, and all three carry the grain free flag. The labels name no added extras such as oils or joint support, so the read rests on the recipes themselves.
Nutrition
Wet food carries a lot of water, so protein as fed is 10.0%, fat 5.5% and energy 82 kcal per 100g on every tray. Nutritional balance reads Outstanding on all three, and protein and processing reads Excellent on two of them.
Strengths
- Nutritional balance Outstanding on all three
- Grain-free wet trays
- Value reads Excellent throughout
Limitations
- Transparency reads Average on two
- Only three products, all wet
- Adult labels only
Where it is less of a fit
- If dry food or raw is the norm, check the formats here: all three products are wet
- If transparency matters most to you, check that pillar, since it reads Average on two trays
- If you are buying for a puppy, check the labels, as all three are written for adults
Score overview
The Excellent band comes from nutritional balance, Outstanding on all three trays, with protein and processing at Excellent on two and value Excellent throughout.
