Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Our cat loves the taste of the portion tin cans (tuna variant), but be careful! Many fishbones found inside (5 or more), which could potentially be dangerous. Bought at Albert Heijn in the Netherlands... See more

Poorly Tums

My dogs have been on this for maybe 12 weeks now. They loved it, but one of my dogs isn’t taking to it anymore. He’s having bad stomachs and vomiting and he’s eating grass to ease him. Literally in the past 3 weeks his tummy has rejected it. I’ve seen other reviews similar too. I’m so angry I’m trying to be calm when writing this. Just avoid it. If anyone knows any alternatives plz help?

Our cat goes wild for the tuna broth pouches. Also the small fish tins. She clears her plate and loves it. We love it too, because some of the fish varieties look so fresh and good handling it is a joy and it looks like something you could spread on a bit of nice bread! Our cat looks healthy. Her fur is soft and shiney it seems to work well for her. Very happy with this brand and appreciate the price point is affordable unlike many other healthier brand.

Cat loves it

Meat does not look half as processed as other foods - my cat loves it and the broth helps keep her hydrated as she isn't a big lover of drinking water!

Iv always brought the beef flavour as my dog has serious allergies all he can eat is beef turkey fish
The cans are colour coded.
So I know red label is beef.

Sadly my dog eat it.
And after been repeatedly sick and tummy bloat. I checked the can
They have changed the red label to beef and chicken.
Tiny writing on the side of the can.
Wrote to ecore.
Not happy with response.
Just letting others know if your dog as allergies check small print

Do not buy Tuna with Mackerel pouches

Do not buy Tuna with Mackerel pouches, or simply any Encore products!
I found a large shard of bone in a pouch and had I not seen it as I was putting the food into my cats bowl, he could have eaten it and I dred to think what could have happened.
I was past from pillar to post after complaining to the multi million pound corporation and they offered me £3.50 refund 🤣 I told them to send the refund to the Cats Protection League which they have failed to do. This is not a pet friendly company.

My cats are so fussy

My cats are so fussy, and then we found Encore. The only one they really like is the canned Tuna fillet and Shrimp. But within the last month it appears that the cans are no longer full and the weight is being made up with liquid. Why not just put the price up instead of cheating us with the content and putting the price up.

We started buying Encore from… Sainsbury’s

We started buying Encore from Sainsbury’s for our 9 year old Jack Russell about 8 weeks ago. It looks good and smells ok when we open the tin and our dog loves eating it. She’s normally a fussy eater but she cleans her bowl every time. But…. Since she began eating it she has has started throwing it all up the following morning at least twice a week, plus she has started getting constipated and not going for a few days, then having diarrhoea, all coinciding with her throwing up. We’ve tried every flavour available in Broth, Jelly or Pate and it’s happening randomly with all of them. We’ll put her back into her old food and monitor her. If she improves I’ll be taking the Encore back to Sainsbury’s with a letter of complaint as it’s obviously dodgy and not fit for a dog.

Smells great but health issues!

My cat loves encore cat food’s taste and smell. She likes it way better than other premium brands. However, everytime she has a bit of encore cat food, she has diarrhoea. Because she likes the taste and smell so much, we have tried different types of meat from Encore but the result is all the same. We even tried introducing encore bit by bit but that doesn’t help either.

Hands down best ingredients in dry cat food.. …

I'm so glad my cat Trixie and I could finally agree on the best dry food for her. She absolutely loves both the Chicken and the Chicken and Salmon varieties of dry food. The ingredients are impeccable compared to 99% of other brands on the market. Trust me, Trixie and I have tried many of them. Trying to find something good for her, that she won't just pick around was hard. I don't want my cat to be disgusted everytime she goes to eat, or gets a tummy ache because of grains. Encore is great. No grains, no junk. 80% real meat, veg and vitamins. The wet food is also very good quality. Not brown stinky mush. I feed her the pouches as a treat. The only thing is I wish they did more varieties. Like Dental, Sterilised, etc. I dread that they will stop selling it. The dry food I can only find on Amazon and Pets at home. The wet food is also available there and many supermarkets. I like you get 800g bags so it stays fresh. Yes it's more money, but it's all she eats. I wouldn't want to eat cheap food everyday, why should my baby? Please don't stop selling it and please add more variety to the dry food range. Customer service was also helpful when they had been out of stock everywhere one time.

There will be no encore in this house again!

I recently purchased a small box of 5 fish sachets of cat food because Sainsbury had none of the usual food I buy.
I got them home and went to use them, I wrongly assumed, because of the size of the box, that they would be the usual size of 85g. Guess what, they're not!
They are only 50g and at a cost of £3.80 definitely not worth buying. Firstly because both my cats looked at me as they stood back from their bowls with a look that said, "what's this muck"? Rightly so too, the food looks a bit mushy and a high percentage of the weight is actually liquid, but let's not forget, this product is made as cheaply as possible in an Asian country such as Thailand and probably costs a few pence to make. Not only that consider the carbon footprint of this cat food!
