Monge cat food
All Monge foods are made from poultry raised in our own factory and fed only grain and grass. When compared with other manufacturers, they add antibiotics and hormones to the food, but they do not do this when making Monge food. All farm-raised poultry is even supplied to Italy's most elite Michelin-starred restaurants.
The plant where Italian food Monge is produced is equipped with the most modern equipment. Twin-screw extruders can use not only fresh natural meat, but also completely dehydrated meat. This production technology allows us to obtain food for animals that is aromatic and attractive in taste.

Manufacturer information
Italian Monge brand cat food has been produced for over 50 years. Initially, it was made from the remains of production on a small farm that specialized in selling chicken meat to restaurants. From leftover meat, family business owner Baldassare Monge decided to make ready-made food for pets. The increasing market demand for such a product helped the entrepreneur quickly expand his additional business, turning it into the main source of income.
Today it is one of the largest pet food manufacturers in the world. The recipe here is selected in such a way as to satisfy the nutritional needs of the predator. Therefore, the food contains a lot of protein and vitamins. Herbal additives are used here in small quantities.
Initially, dry and wet food contained only meat. But over time, the recipe expanded to include taurine, vitamin E and carbohydrates of plant origin. Thanks to their nutritious and easily digestible composition, Monge products have become popular all over the world.

According to veterinarians, Monge is a high quality cat food. Its components contain the norm of vitamins, minerals and other substances. As a result of regular feeding, the stomach, intestines, liver, etc. begin to function better. The food is balanced and nutritious, so pets absorb it well. Their weight remains normal and the animals feel great. Veterinarians advise consuming products only in doses as indicated on the packaging. If the norms are violated, the cat will overeat or undereat. Increased dosages contribute to obesity and the development of cardiovascular diseases in cats.

Grain Free Veterinary diets
Medicinal food Grain Free Veterinary diets
In general, any veterinary food raises doubts about its composition, it just so happens. However, Monge dietary food pleasantly surprised us; it is much better in quality than the popular veterinary lines Royal Canin, Hills, ProPlan and so on, since it does not contain cheap grain crops! The assortment includes the following foods:
- Urinary Oxalate (for the treatment of oxalate-type urolithiasis).
- Urinary Struvite (for the treatment of struvite-type urolithiasis).
- Dermatosis (for cats with skin diseases).
- Obesity (for weight loss).
- Gastrointestinal (for gastroenterological pathologies).
- Renal (diet for kidney failure).
- Hepatic (diet for liver diseases).
- Diabetic (diet for cats with diabetes).
Since I am not a veterinarian, I do not want to go into details regarding the composition. After all, the food is still dietary; it contains easily digestible hydrolyzed proteins (hydrolyzed salmon protein) or freeze-dried meat products (freeze-dried chicken, pork, duck).
The food contains quite a lot of carbohydrate components and sources of fiber, but also quite high-quality fats (chicken fat, duck fat, salmon oil). Of course, you should not simply feed such food - only as prescribed by a veterinarian. We cannot evaluate it as a regular complete food, but we were pleased with the fact that the food does not contain grains or gluten.
