Encore Tins In Gravy review

A solid, honest wet food. 40% declared meat content is respectable, and the label tells you exactly what is inside. Feeding it costs about £5.99 a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis

Breaking the 76 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 26.8 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 14.8 of 15.

The label declares 40% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, and the ingredient list names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.

At about £5.99 a day to feed a 10kg dog, the question is not whether it is cheap but whether the label justifies the price - and on our scoring, it broadly does.
