Life takes on new bright colors and moments when a pet appears in the house. The issue of getting a cat must be approached extremely responsibly. First of all, she needs to organize maximum comfort and coziness, take care of her sleeping place.
The health and mood of your pet directly depends on high-quality and balanced nutrition. In this article we will get acquainted with the Italian company that produces Monge cat food.
Types of cat food
There are two ways to provide food to your pet - natural food or industrial food. Many natural dieters think that feeding their cat homemade human food is completely normal, but this is not the case.
It is important to take into account the breed, body condition and age characteristics of the pet.
Basically, owners prefer to purchase ready-made food, which is enriched with the necessary vitamins and minerals for the development of their pet.
The modern market allows everyone to choose food, taking into account the allocated budget. On the Internet you can see photos of Mongee cat food.
Monge food types
Monge food is recommended for consumption by leading renowned veterinarians.
It does not contain questionable elements that would negatively affect the absorption and processing of pet food, as well as harmful flavorings and taste enhancers. Read here Can cats have milk - reviews and recommendations for choosing and using fermented milk products in the diet (110 photos)
Classic dry Mongee cat food is suitable for daily consumption. It contains a large amount of protein. It is allowed to be given to absolutely all cats, regardless of age.
We must remember that when feeding dry food, you need to ensure that the cat has enough fluid in its body.
The next type of food from this company is a deeply revolutionary discovery on the modern market. This product is more suitable for feral cats.
The creators tried to create food as similar as possible to the nutritional conditions of the cat family in the wild. It is also suitable for cats that suffer from kidney disease, diabetes and other diseases.
Monge food for cats
Compared to some advertised cat foods, this brand is not so widely known, which, however, does not mean its lower quality.
Manufacturer
A large family enterprise, Monge began with a small farm for raising chickens, whose meat was then supplied to expensive and elite Italian cafes and restaurants. Since only selected products were used, after the slaughter of the poultry there was a lot of meat waste and offal. Based on them, the owner and founder of the company, Baldasar Monge, began the production of canned food for pets (dogs and cats) in 1963.
Chickens, turkeys and ducks are raised on our own farms located in areas of Italy with good environmental conditions. It does not use antibiotics, growth hormones or various harmful chemical compounds. Raw materials are processed using the most modern Swiss and American equipment, which allows us to preserve almost all the beneficial properties of meat, as well as its natural taste and smell. Canned fish is made in a factory in Thailand, where only freshly caught tuna and other seafood are supplied.
Monge brand food appeared in Russia in 2015
Today, the Monge concern is one of the largest manufacturers in the field of food for dogs and cats in Italy, possessing innovative feed production technologies and constantly working to improve its own recipes.
What class do Monge products belong to?
The manufacturer positions its products as super premium food that meets all European quality standards. Belonging to this group is indicated by a fairly high content of natural meat component (at least 40%), as well as the complete absence of components that have a harmful effect on the cat’s body and are addictive (flavors, dyes, flavor enhancers, synthetic preservatives, etc.).
Advantages and disadvantages of Monge cat food
The undoubted positive qualities of the Italian diet for Monge cats include the following characteristics:
- safety - this is confirmed by research by Roskachestvo;
- naturalness - the main supplier of protein is only fresh meat;
- balance - optimal ratio of nutrients (proteins, fats and carbohydrates), amino acids, vitamin and mineral supplements;
- all raw materials are of high quality and carefully selected; no impurities or pests are found in the feed;
- environmental friendliness - no artificial or harmful preservatives, dyes, or flavors are used in production (only natural ones - rosemary and tocopherols);
- maintaining the taste of the food until the end of its shelf life;
- a huge range, including a line of medical nutrition.
The Monge range includes a large number of different foods.
Among the disadvantages of Monge food are:
- increased content of corn in some feeds, which is why such products are no longer classified as super premium;
- discrepancy between the actual amount of fat and the declared amount;
- the presence of trace amounts of the pesticides o-phenylphenol, piperonyl butoxide and pirimiphos methyl;
- too much calcium in the feed;
- difficulties with purchasing - food is not always on sale;
- quite high cost.
When analyzing Monge products, I was alarmed by the fact that the manufacturer never uses the word “meat” on food packages in the section on its composition. This worries many cat owners, since it is logical to conclude that the production uses not only pure chicken meat, for example, but also its other parts (skin, cartilage, offal, etc.).
Mongee food for sterilized cats
This company's multifunctional food is designed for certain types of cats and their characteristics. Mongee food is suitable for sterilized cats that live at home.
With the correct selection of food, the pet will not gain weight. In addition, it contains useful elements that prevent the occurrence of urolithiasis.
The composition of each type of feed fully corresponds to the specified list. Each variety is designed strictly according to need.
Nutritionists and veterinarians have calculated how much meat or fish should be consumed, including other useful components. Veterinarians do not recommend using various grain products in food.
Analogues of Monge food, its pros and cons
The advantages of Monge food include a sufficient proportion of meat ingredients in the composition, as well as essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. Cats love them and are relatively inexpensive. The main complaint that critics make about Monge diets is the presence of gluten and corn, but their harm is questionable. In general, these foods are not bad and do not require replacement if they suit the animal.
Replacing food is always a difficult task: even the best and most expensive food chosen by the owner may not be liked by the pet or may not be suitable for some reason. Often, a cat experiences long-term indigestion, despite a gradual transition to a different diet, and has to look for something new. Theoretically, super-premium food or holistic food from other brands - Trainer, Leonardo, low-grain and grain-free recipes from Farmina - can be considered as analogues of Monge. However, in practice it is difficult to say whether the tailed conservative will approve such a replacement.

Then the feed contains animal protein. It helps the product to be better absorbed, but its receipt is unknown. Therefore, it cannot be said for sure that this element has a positive effect on the cat’s body.

Various beneficial prebiotics have been added to the food, which will affect the well-being and mood of your pet.
Range and features of Monge feed
All Monge diets are distinguished by their high protein content of natural animal origin, the presence of new generation probiotics, antioxidants, L-carnitine, essential fatty acids, fiber and other components. A wide range of products allows us to satisfy the urgent needs of representatives of various cat breeds and all age categories.
Only natural substances obtained from plant materials (rosemary extract, natural tocopherols) are used as preservatives.
Overview of the main food groups Monge
Monge brand cat food consists of five specialized lines:
- dry food for everyday classic (Daily);
- dry functional food (Functional);
- natural canned food (Natural);
- food that takes into account the natural physiological needs of cats and is as close as possible to natural nutrition for independent hunting in the wild (BWILD);
- monoprotein and grain-free veterinary food (Grain Free Veterinary diets).
When our previous cat started having problems with urination, we began frantically looking for suitable food for him. At that time, the choice was not so great, and the prices were high. We switched the cat to Proplan for animals with urolithiasis, which helped him live quite tolerably for almost 4 more years. The modern range of animal food allows you not to bother with this problem at all; you can immediately feed your cat preventative food. After the sterilization operation, we give our current pet only specialized dry food for sterilized animals. In this case, it is extremely important that there is fresh water in the free access area, which must be changed daily. Our cat sometimes gets capricious and drinks exclusively the liquid that has just been poured.
Monge brand formulas have a very diverse composition . But almost everyone includes the following required components:
- Rice. The only cereal that, according to recent research, is completely absorbed by the cat’s body. Only hypoallergenic varieties are used.
- Meat. Source of natural protein. Most often it is chicken, but there is also pork and beef. hare meat, etc.
- Hydrolyzed animal protein (dried using a special technology).
- Salmon. Supplier of protein and unsaturated fatty acids.
- Pea fiber is insoluble. Helps improve intestinal motility.
- Taurine, DL-methionine, L-claritin.
- Vitamin supplements (A, D3, C, E, B1, B6, B2, B12, B7, B3, B5, B9).
- Minerals (Cu, I, Se, Fe, Zn, Mn).
- Egg powder.
- Protein component (corn grits or flour).
