Lukullus Adult Tins Grain Free: Turkey & Trout review

Name: Lukullus Adult Tins Grain Free: Turkey & Trout
Brand: Lukullus

78/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

Five tins built on named offal and muscle, all in our Excellent band. Hearts, liver, lung, rumen and necks are each listed, never pooled into a category term. The plant side is deliberately thin and there is no cereal.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that eat with more enthusiasm when there is offal in the bowl
Owners who like reading the actual cuts
Grain-avoiding households
One-animal feeding: the Pork names pork and nothing else
Rotation feeders, since only the meat moves from tin to tin
Large dogs, with an 800g tin across most of the range

Worth watching

Poultry left unnamed on the Poultry and Lamb tin
The vitamin panel shifts between recipes
An open 800g tin needs covering and keeping in the fridge

The broadest panel of the five: vitamins D3, E, B1, B2 and B6, biotin, zinc, copper, manganese and iodine, each dosed.

The label prints no complete calorie figure, so the energy value is our estimate.

Named ingredients

Complete food for adult dogs of all breeds. Turkey & Trout, Courgettes, Walnut Oil, 46% consisting of turkey hearts, turkey meat, turkey liver, turkey necks, 27.6% stock, 20% trout, 5% courgette, 0.7% minerals, 0.1% herbs, 0.5% walnut oil, 0.1% inulin.

Against the range

Meat: Turkey 46%, trout 20%; Two even or near-even blocks elsewhere; 65% pork alone
Fat, dry matter: 37.5%, the highest; 25.0% to 28.8%
Vitamin panel: Adds B1, B2, B6 and copper; Shorter on the other four
Pack format: 400g tins only; 800g available on the others

The richest tin in the range and the only one with fish.

Every recipe has the same build: two blocks of named meat and offal, around two thirds of the tin, then meat stock and a short plant list. The Pork is the exception, a single 65% block. Hearts lead almost every list, with liver, lung, rumen, necks and stomachs itemised.

No cereal appears; potato, sweet potato, broccoli or courgette carry the little starch there is. Each tin has one named oil at 0.5% or 0.3%. Protein converts to between 43.3% and 47.7% of dry matter across the five.
