Name: Lukullus Classic Senior Dry
Brand: Lukullus

68.3/100Good

DryAdultSenior

A maize and pea kibble pointed at older dogs, led by turkey protein at 26% with duck protein alongside. Dried apple pulp is pushed up for fibre, and glucosamine and chondroitin each get their own printed line. It comes out in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

An older dog with stiffening joints
Dogs that need more fibre through them: dried apple pulp sits at 7.3%
Turkey eaters, since turkey leads the recipe
An adult sharing a bowl with an older dog
A steady, unhurried routine, as this is a moderate-energy recipe

Worth watching

Neither the poultry fat nor the hydrolysed poultry protein names its bird
Maize at 24% and salmon oil, so neither grain free nor fish free
Joint entries at fractions of a percent: everyday support, not a clinical dose

The score, in context

Lukullus Classic Senior Dry 68.3

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Turkey protein up front is the strong part; maize just behind and poultry entries that never name a bird hold it in the middle of the shelf.
