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

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.

Named ingredients

Complete food for adult dogs of all breeds. Ingredients, 64% turkey (heart, meat, liver, stomach), 9% carrots, 9% courgette, 9% sweet potatoes, 3% cucumber, 2.5% fennel, 1.9% seaweed meal, 1% linseed oil, 0.5% dill, 0.1% minerals.

Against the range

Meat: Turkey 64%; 63% beef, 55% duck.
Fat, dry matter: 18.6%; Leanest; the duck is 34.0%.
Protein, dry matter: 57.4%; Highest in the range.
Salt: None listed; Andean salt on the other two.

The light, protein-dense dinner of the three, at the cost of the biggest bowl.

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.
