Lukullus Adult Tins: Rabbit & Game review

1. Rabbit 77.7
2. Turkey Hearts 77.6
3. Wild Rabbit 77.3
4. Salmon 77.0

All four Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The four sit so close together that none needs avoiding, and each matches the meat-heavy middle of the wet shelf.

• Rabbit hearts, rabbit liver33%Rabbit as offal only in this block.
• Game hearts, meat, liver, lung, rumen33%Game is a kind of meat, not a species. Rumen is tripe, and it often turns a picky eater round.

• Apples3%
• Rice3%Brown rice, the grain in this tin.
• Minerals1%
• Linseed oil0.5%The one named oil.

Vitamin D3, vitamin E and biotin, with zinc, manganese and iodine, each given a dose per kilo.

Game names no animal, so this tin cannot carry an elimination diet by itself.

Printed on two others; missing on the Salmon & Chicken.

Two unusual proteins in one tin, for a dog that reacts to the everyday meats.

Three of the four tins pair two 33% meat blocks; the Salmon & Chicken runs chicken at 46% and salmon at 20%. Offal does much of the work inside those blocks, all of it named, and meat stock follows at 26.5% to 27.5%.

Each tin keeps a small grain at 3% to 5% (rice, millet, barley or oat flakes) beside a fruit or vegetable, and closes on one named oil at 0.5%. Every tin carries the same dosed vitamin and trace mineral panel. Calcium is printed on three of the four.
