Lukullus Cold-Pressed Barbary Duck & Lamb - dog dry food

This arrived quickly, and when I opened the pack, my puppy sniffed the air and ran over. However, he is a little Maltese of 21 weeks and the pieces are far bigger than the picture shows, with most between 3 and 4 cms - far too big for his little mouth. They are also too hard for me to break up easily, so I cut a few with poultry shears and he loved them. But I have very arthritic hands, so cutting them all is neither possible nor practical. So they will be given away.

I had ordered this food when it was on offer as a change for my two Setters who have sensitive stomachs and are fed on gluten-free premium food. The pellets weigh very heavy and the daily feeding recommendation therefore results in a very small portion for my 25kg dogs who now seem always hungry. They digest this food very well and stool is firm but now comes in HUGE quantities. I have to wonder how much nutrients are actually absorbed by the dogs rather than just pass through.

I have been using this food on my Belgian Shephard X Border Collie for nearly 2 years now and it is absolutely perfect. He is sensitive to poultry. Even a slightest poultry gives him dihaerrae. Most foods even Beef based ones might include some poultry in it sometimes but the beef and fish version of this food has no poultry at all. He has been very stable with his weight and his coat shines. Every vet he has been to said keep whatever I have been giving to him.

We struggled finding a food for our pup that had good ingredients and at reasonable price. This fits both, plus its the only food that hasn't effect her number 2's or her bad wind she was having(no longer). Would totally recommend the food to everyone, comes well package and has a nice smell to it surprisingly.

Our dogs have been exclusively on this food for several years now - two previous dogs and the two present ones. It solved a sensitive tummy issue with a previous dog and I'm sure it helps with their lovely shiny coats. They love it.

My boxer and bullmastiff love this food. It's easy to manage their weight with it and their coats are shiny and soft.

I have a lab puppy who has a very sensitive stomach. I have tried a few different brands of food and we just couldn't get rid of the runny poos until now. Every since he has been on this the difference is amazing. Can't recommend this brand enough. I also a 3 year old lab who is now on this brand as well and they both love it.

The dogs adore the taste of this food, the sack arrived this morning and they were trying to get into it before i could even put it in their bowls. I love how it has a very minimal grain content with the only grain in it being a little bit of rice. its mostly lamb, duck and potatoes. Its hypoallergenic with a good meat content and great for dogs with allergies or sensitive bellies :) All of my dogs love it, from my tiny terrier to my lurcher and i use it as training treats for my parents dogs!

I have been feeding my dogs raw homemade food for almost 3 years, but have just switched to Lukullus. Reason for the switch is that I'm 7 months pregnant and making all the frozen homemade food was becoming tiring. I decided on Lukullus and have been happy with the switch. The ingredients are good, and on par with higher priced dry food. I mix the dry food with various wet foods to give them the variety they're used to and they're always keen to get their dinner and still happy healthy dogs.

My dog loves this. He had a lot of stomach problems with his other food but this one is absolutely great, all natural and good!

I have been using this dog food for years and my dogs love it. It is a quality product at a reasonable price.

I started my rescue springer on Lukullus after reading reviews of different dog foods and deciding this was a good quality food at a reasonable price. My dog loves it, his poo is always perfectly formed we don't get any smells from his rear end, and his breath doesn't smell. His coat is nice and silky and he doesn't have dry itchy skin ( he doesn't scratch.I therefore have to conclude that this food is good for him and have no complaints.

I researched dry food options and liked the idea of cold pressed foods. Choices are limited and I use both this and Markus Mueller too for a bit of variety. Lukullus is less crumbly than the MM, the ingredients are similar. My dog works hard ans looks great on his diet. The only downside is the quantity you feed always looks like a really meagre offering but just goes to show the quality isn't bulked out with rubbish.

I have 2 dogs,one being extremely fussy. Having done lots of research and tried many brands I've at last found the answer in 2 brands, LUKULLUS and MARKUS MUHLE BLACK ANGUS. These are cold pressed foods and look very similar and my dogs love both,so I buy both. My fussy hound now licks her bowl clean which has never happened before. There is also the added bonus in that her black coat has become the glossiest I've ever seen, which I'm sure is down to the food. Please note that if serving cold pressed food for the first time its worth weighing first, as it is heavier than dry kibble so servings are smaller.

It was an excellent product until they introduced the "new recipe" with 10% potato!! If you're not careful, your dog will gain weight. Paid for personally + a friend with two different dog breeds (Briard and Amstaff)

I can only agree with the previous reviewers. We, too, have happily fed Lukullus cold-pressed dry food for years, but we are now very dissatisfied with the new recipe. Our dog still eats it, but the crumbling is extreme. We feed part of the portion using a feeding mat, but with this quality, that's really no longer possible. Unfortunately, we'll have to look for another brand. Such a shame. Hopefully the manufacturer is reading this.

Hard, dry, thick pellets. The dogs won’t eat them even when they’re hungry, and even after soaking the food, they won’t touch it. Other stray animals don’t want to eat it either. I’m disappointed, and my dogs even more so.

My Maremma only eats Lukullus, and you can really see it in her coat and overall health. The kibble is perfect and there's a great mix of flavours. Keep up the good work.

Unfortunately, the new formula was a waste of money for us. We were always completely satisfied before, but with the new recipe, my dog has a lot more output (up to 5 times during one walk) and is constantly hungry.

My dog is really happy with the food. Even in this hot weather, he eats it without needing to mix it with wet food. Good quality food.

They don’t like the food.

Our Golden Retriever really enjoys eating it.

Unfortunately, the packaging no longer gives off that premium feel. The product made with the new recipe is much paler in colour, and the kibble itself breaks apart, so a lot more of it turns to dust at the bottom of the bag. I think it’s time for us to switch. Our dogs used to love it, but we want what’s best for them, so thanks for everything up until now.

Very strong smell of rosemary. My dog doesn’t like it, even though the ingredients are quite similar. I have to mix it with wet food for him to eat it. The previous version was much better.

Good

We used to happily feed Lukullus to our Lab – first the puppy food, then the adult food. Since they changed the recipe, the food is completely different. I’d describe it as floury, and there’s a lot of leftover powder. We’re also not sure if our dog has developed an intolerance after more than 2 years. We won’t be buying this food anymore.

I am not satisfied with this order. There is far too much dry food dust. This does not match the price-performance ratio. The email to customer service was not sent and I was told to call instead. I had attached pictures of the poor quality dry food to the email.

Previously, this particular food was absolutely top quality and suited our dogs really well. We've been feeding this for years! Now the recipe has been changed and the food is completely ruined. The dogs can't make use of the food at all, they just keep pooping and pooping and pooping. And pooping and pooping. We can't go outside five times a night with them. Their stomachs aren't exactly upset, but apparently nothing is being absorbed or put to good use, since a bucketful comes out the other end. Time to switch!
