Brand: Lukullus

64.5/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

Four grain-free kibbles on one peas and potato base, each pointed at a job: digestion, immunity, weight or mobility. Every bag names its bacterial strain and prints taurine, choline and L-carnitine. The digestive chicken is the strongest of them.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog with one particular need, as each recipe has its own job
Owners who read the small print, with a full vitamin list and chelated minerals
Dogs kept off grain; peas and potatoes carry the starch throughout
Sensitive guts, with inulin, mannan oligosaccharides and a named Lactobacillus strain in every bag
Dogs new to unusual meats, wild boar leading one recipe
Easy switching, since the four share one backbone

Worth watching

Salmon oil in every recipe, so none is fish free
Chicken in all four through the fat or the hydrolysed liver
Peas at 26% sit level with the meat, so a good share of each bowl is plant

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adult dogs of all breeds. The labels ask 195 to 310 grams a day for a 15kg dog depending on the recipe, so pick by need and let the waistline break the tie.

The score, in context

Digestive Support Chicken 69.0
Immune System Support Wild Boar 64.5
Light Turkey 63.5
Mobility Support Beef 60.9

All four Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The spread is narrow and comes down to how much of each bowl is animal; the printed detail underneath is what lifts the range.

The shared panel: taurine, choline chloride and L-carnitine, vitamin C at 400mg and chelated trace minerals.

Pork fat and hydrolysed chicken liver sit beside the wild boar, so it is not a single novel protein.

Carbohydrate, dry matter: 44.4%; Lowest; the light turkey is 47.7%.

Useful where the usual animals have all been tried.

All four share one grain-free base: a dried named meat protein at 26% or 28%, peas at 26% and potatoes at 15% to 20%, with apple pomace for fibre and brewer's yeast in every bag. Each carries inulin, mannan oligosaccharides and an inactivated Lactobacillus helveticus strain. Salmon oil is in all four, and chicken turns up in every one through the fat or the hydrolysed liver.

The panels are fully printed, with trace minerals as protein hydrolysate chelates. What varies is each recipe's working extras.
