The Italian company Monge & CSpa has been producing high quality food for cats and dogs for over 50 years. The manufacturing plant is located in an ecologically clean area of the country. There are different lines of cat food: Daily, Functional, Monoprotein, Bwild, Grain Free Veterinary Diets. Monge for sterilized cats is part of the Functional line. When compiling the recipe, veterinary nutritionists took into account the characteristics of pets whose gonads (males) or internal reproductive organs (females) have been removed.
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 2020
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.).
User reviews
Veterinarians and pet owners speak positively about Monge products. Among the disadvantages, the high price is noted; among the advantages, there is a positive effect on the well-being of the pet.
I have a cat with allergies. I recently switched her to Monge and chose a grain-free, hypoallergenic composition. I tried several options, but this is the food she eats most willingly. The cat's health quickly improved. Among the shortcomings, I would like to note the inconvenient packaging (I bought 10 kg - there are no handles or holes for fingers).
Sonya
I switched my ten-year-old cat from natural food to Monge Senior because he started having digestive problems. At first he didn’t want to eat, but over time he got used to it - the vomiting went away, his stool returned to normal. My health has clearly improved - you can even see it from my appearance.
Daria
I am a veterinarian and have been supplying Monge food for a long time.
I buy products from the Grain Free line. Together with proper treatment, the diet perfectly improves the well-being of sick animals. I use it if “patients” have problems with internal organs, sometimes I prescribe it after operations. Maksim
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).

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.

Functional Line Cat
The second line, which is no less popular, includes several types of functional food. First of all, you can purchase special food “Mongie” for fluffy cats, which relieves them of hairballs that accumulate in the stomach during the washing process. Also in this line you can find special food that is intended exclusively for domestic cats that do not go outside even for walks. This option is called Monge Indoor.
A cat food that is worth considering separately is the one that should be fed to spayed and neutered cats and female cats. It has a special composition and reduced energy value so that such animals do not gain weight, which absolutely everyone tends to do after surgery. Well, another Monji food in this line is one that helps prevent urolithiasis, one of the most dangerous and common diseases in such pets.
Beneficial features
To better assimilate such nutrition, manufacturers began to use potatoes.
The Monge diet does not overload the digestive tract, since its source of starch is easily digestible components: potatoes and cassava. The food has a palatable appeal, while the flavors and extracts are substances that are beneficial to the cat’s health, and not, as in many diets, artificial flavor enhancers that negatively affect the functioning of the pet’s internal organs.
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.
When is it recommended for use?
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:
The food will be useful for animals whose pancreas is inflamed.
- 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.

general information
Today, Monge industrial food is produced in significant volumes at the factories of the Italian company Monge & CS pa. Wet and dry food lines have been produced since the 1970s. And the product appeared completely unexpectedly, as a result of the need not to produce a new product, but to profitably use the remnants of the old one. Thus, environmentally friendly chicken waste has turned into a quality product that not only managed to conquer the market, but is still in demand.
The Italian brand of food is not as popular as other products of this class from Canadian or American brands. However, the product, experimentally tested by cat owners, firmly occupies its niche in the pet food product segment. And all thanks to the fact that the manufacturer does not deviate from the basic rule: follow the nature of the cat.
The cat is a carnivore, so its diet should consist of the maximum amount of protein, vitamins and only a small percentage of plant components. At the same time, all derivatives must be of high quality and fresh. Based on these needs of a small predator, the manufacturer included only a meat product enriched with vitamins, taurine and carbohydrates of plant origin.
The quality of Monge quickly became famous among breeders and cat lovers and fully met their expectations. Due to its high quality, safety, naturalness and balanced composition, Monge is classified as a super premium food. The high quality of the product is supported by the conditions of its production: the plant is located in an ecologically clean region of the country and is under careful control.
Taking care of the safety of the raw materials used, the basic products are grown without the addition of antibiotics and growth hormones. It is this quality and diversity of the presented lines that make it possible to satisfy the needs of pets of different breeds and age groups.
