Cat food Monge (“Monge”): composition and features of diets

Manufacturer

Monge group (Monge & CSpa) has been the largest manufacturer of dog and cat food in Italy for many years.
Its history dates back to 1963. The location of the Monge BWild feed factory is located in the province of Cuneo, where both office buildings and a research center are located.

Monge BWild wet food was the first to be released for sale; in 2013, the most modern dry food production plant in Europe was opened.

Currently, products are exported to more than 80 countries, and the company cooperates with many international companies.

The manufacturer takes a responsible approach to its business: regular research and development of more and more new products is carried out, the highest standards of product control are adhered to (from the moment of receipt of raw materials to final delivery), experienced nutritionists and veterinarians are involved in the activities.

The site uses photovoltaic panels and Kawasaki turbines, and waste is sorted and recycled (tin cans can also be used indefinitely).

Beneficial features

Diet food Monge Vetsolution Gastrointestinal and its Fit-aroma formula additionally has an antispasmodic effect and has an astringent effect, which reduces intestinal motility and improves the functioning of digestive enzymes. The components of the diet accelerate the regeneration of damage to the mucous membrane of the final part of the digestive tract and suppress inflammatory foci. Thanks to the presence of prebiotics in the recipe, Monge Gastrointestinal regulates appetite and stimulates the growth and functioning of beneficial intestinal microflora. Plus, dry food improves colon motility, stimulates local immunity and suppresses pathogenic microorganisms.

Veterinarians prescribe Monge Gastrointestinal to cats that have encountered various functional disorders and diseases of the digestive system, and need to replace the main diet with a special dietary food. Italian food is usually prescribed to cats who have been diagnosed with the following pathological conditions:

• colitis;
• gastroenteritis of acute and chronic forms;
• inflammation of the pancreas;
• diarrhea;
• growth of pathogenic microflora in the small intestine;
• malabsorption;
• insufficient production of enzymes by the pancreas to digest food.

Reviews of Monge food from veterinarians and cat owners

This review will be useful for those who love their small and fluffy cats. My cat is already quite an adult and lately we have had a problem. The cat often began to vomit, it happened 3 times a day, he had no strength to clean it up (anger and pity). We decided to buy another food, we were advised to MONGE Hairball for adult cats, which helps in the natural removal of hairballs. Made in Italy. Having opened the pack (by the way, it has a zipper), the smell is like regular dry food, not unpleasant. The croutons look like cute little hearts and when you take them in your hand they are very greasy (be sure to wash your hands, otherwise they will leave stains). The cat smells food and simply goes crazy. As soon as you touch the food, it runs like crazy. The result is that the cat likes this tasty treat. And after eating the day and the second, he immediately stopped vomiting. I’m so happy for him and for myself (that I don’t have to walk around with a rag). I can say that the food works and everyone is happy!

I recently discovered Monge food for my cats, in particular, I decided on Monge Indoor for now. Very pleased with the price-quality ratio. I have 2 cats. One of the foundlings is outbred (there were practically no problems with nutrition with him, now he is 3 years old), but with the eldest there have always been problems (he is now 14 years old, Oriental breed) he has asthma and lymphorinitis, he is constantly on hormonal pills. Because of this, he could eat very little food, all the food made him sick (((He eats all Monge brand food perfectly and has no problems with digestion!!! I am very happy. By the way, our dog also eats food only for Monge dogs. Only It’s a pity that all the big bags don’t have a clip closure.

My cat is 13 years old, and for 4 years we have been eating a renal diet according to indications, alternating with food for the elderly. We ate Royal canin, Proplan, and Hills. Mainly Royal due to better palatability. And so, we decided to try Monge. Monge for the elderly - Senjor - did not cause any complaints from us. And now it’s Renal’s turn. Upon opening the package, I immediately noticed a sharp, not very pleasant smell. No, not a spoiled product, but simply unusually strong. The food was eaten well (the cat even began to overeat and gain weight, which had never been observed before, she even had to start monitoring the daily intake), no reaction to the new diet in the form of digestive disorders was detected. BUT! After a few days, the cat began to develop an extremely unpleasant odor. A week later he became so strong that we began to involuntarily shy away from our beloved pet, like a leper. The poor thing even started howling from the sudden lack of attention. In general, no matter how hard we tried, we were unable to bear the end of the package. We returned to our previous diet. Just a day later, the disgusting smell disappeared, we are glad to be near the animal, the cat’s behavior returned to normal.

Among all super-premium foods, Italian Monge stands out for its unique composition. At first glance, this is a classic everyday food, but it is not. It contains new generation prebiotics. They not only restore the intestinal microflora, but also quickly stop putrefactive processes in the intestines, eliminate excess gas formation and help strengthen the immune system. L-carnitine helps to form a good muscle corset. The reduced fat content prevents cats from gaining weight. Calcium and phosphorus are added in optimal ratios to ensure proper development and growth. In addition to regular foods, the line includes functional (against lumps in the stomach, prevention of urolithiasis and many others), veterinary (all grain-free), canned food and foods that correspond to the natural diet. The latter contain at least 65% natural, unfrozen hare or anchovies.

We are now feeding Monge (Abult), they eat well, the yield is good, but it does not have the best composition. And you won’t find packs of 10 kg in Yekaterinburg during the day. Especially the line for sterile

I will report on 2 months of feeding Monge - the sensations are ambivalent. The toilet smells less, the price is good, they eat with gusto, there is no brownness in the smoke or silver. I don't like the condition of my older cat's fur. Before that there were Gina and Bosch - with relatively infrequent washing and combing - the coat was ideal (from Bosch it only turned brown) - now the skin is dull and as if dirty. I'm thinking about going back to Gina.

Most often, on veterinary diets, the table of recommended portions per day contains grams in the range “from and to” for a specific weight. This is done so that you select the right dose for your animal in accordance with its body mass index. The upper limit is for thin people, the lower limit is for plump people. Only Monge food contains grams according to a specific index: thin, normal, overweight.

I can recommend Monge dry food to anyone who cares about the health of their furbabies. Premium food speaks for itself. My capricious cat always eats it with great pleasure and does not complain about his health. We switched him to this food from natural food because as he grew up enough, he became very picky and selective when it came to food (he didn’t want to see anything except fish, he often boycotted us and didn’t touch his food all day). And now the cat has a great respect for this herring-smelling food, he always eats with it in good spirits, he is healthy, his fur is shiny, playful, he looks great, his digestion is normal, he does not get sick - which indicates the good quality of the entire food and its components. Now our pet does not require complementary feeding after meals and, apparently, eats up. The only drawback of Monge's food is that the granules are quite small, and while eating them, some of the granules fall out of his mouth, and for large cats, small food is a big disadvantage. When choosing one, I advise you to take into account the age and size of your pet.
