Flavour

The Lukullus tin taken somewhere greener, with all three recipes in our Excellent band. One animal leads each, broken down by part, and behind it sits a real vegetable patch of courgette, pumpkin, carrot, cucumber, apple and cowberries. Every ingredient has its percentage printed, down to the dill.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that need one named animal: beef, duck or turkey, each on its own
Owners who like a printed meat share on the tin
Older dogs alongside adults, as all three are listed for both
Dogs kept off cereal. The starch comes from potato, sweet potato and carrot
Fussy eaters, since the vegetables and herbs change completely between tins

Worth watching

Andean salt at 0.1% on the beef and duck, there for flavour and plainly declared
Seaweed meal on all three brings iodine, if your vet is watching it
The duck tin carries the largest plant share in the range

The score, in context

Turkey 79.2
Duck 78.8

All three Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

All three are built to a genuinely high specification, the duck holding its place despite a third of the tin being carrot and potato.

What's in it

Potatoes, courgettes10% each
Pumpkin, apple5% each
Oregano, parsley2% and 1.9%The most seasoned list of the three.
Seaweed meal1.9%A broad mineral source, iodine included.

Vitamin D3, vitamin E and four trace minerals, each dosed, modest per kilo because the tin is four fifths moisture.

Named ingredients

Complete food for adult dogs of all breeds. Ingredients, 63% beef (heart, muscle meat, lung), 10% potatoes, 10% courgettes, 5% pumpkin, 5% apple, 2% oregano, 1.9% parsley, 1.9% seaweed meal, 1% linseed oil, 0.1% Andean salt, 0.1% minerals

Against the range

Meat: Beef 63%; Turkey 64%, duck 55%.
Protein, dry matter: 50.0%; 57.4% on the turkey, 44.0% on the duck.
Herbs: Oregano 2%, parsley 1.9%; Rosemary on the duck, dill on the turkey.
Energy: 86 kcal per 100g, estimated; 74 on the turkey, 95 on the duck.

The middle of the three on fat and energy, with the most herbs.

Each tin opens with one animal broken down by part, with no category terms: beef at 63%, turkey at 64%, duck at 55%. Behind it come whole vegetables, not refined starches, and every ingredient carries a percentage.

Seaweed meal at 1.9% runs through all three, and linseed oil carries the added fat, so the omega 3 is plant based. Fat swings widely, from a light turkey dinner to a rich duck one, and the vegetables and herbs change completely between tins.
