Lukullus Vitality Wet: Light Turkey (Grain-Free) review

Name: Lukullus Vitality Wet: Light Turkey (Grain-Free)
Brand: Lukullus

79.2/100Excellent

WetAdult

A light turkey tin in our Excellent band, and honest about being a diet food. At 64 kcal per 100g it fills a bowl with very little energy. Protein still converts to 52.6% of dry matter, because the calories left through water and fibre, never through the meat.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs on a weight programme
Owners who like the bird counted: stomachs, hearts, meat, liver and neck
Older dogs whose appetite has outlasted their exercise. L-carnitine is added
Cereal-free homes
Dogs that need a big bowl to feel fed

Worth watching

No animal named for the broth at 33%, so it is not strictly single species
Fat is low by design, too low for a hard-working dog or one struggling to hold weight
Portions are large: the label puts a 10kg dog on 840 to 1150 grams a day

The score, in context

Light Turkey (Grain-Free) 79.2

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A light food in Excellent is not the usual outcome; the calories came out through water and fibre, with no meat swapped for cereal.
