All about Poop Monge

Peculiarities
Monge pet food is produced in Italy. In Russia, the name sounds like "Monge" or "Monge". Monge & C. S. p. a. strives to provide the market with food close to the class super premium... But due to the fact that it contains corn gluten, it is more often referred to as to premium feed.
The brand was founded in 1963 by Baldasar Monge, the owner of a small poultry farm. An enterprising businessman supplied products to elite restaurants. Once he had an idea of how to use the by-products left after the slaughter and butchering of poultry. Thus, from what was previously used for disposal, we got canned food for animals.
In the 60s, the production of ready-made rations for animals was just beginning to develop, and the business of Senor Monge went uphill. On his farm, the poultry was raised on high-quality and environmentally friendly feed. This allowed the businessman to produce an elite food, the benefits of which were quickly appreciated by pet owners. The food was also appreciated by four-legged consumers.
For many years, the brand has produced exclusively wet food and preserves for animals. And in 2009 the company mastered a new direction - dry rations for cats and dogs. Today, the country of origin, as before, is Italy. Monge's own plant produces 400 tons of dry food and 1 million canned food every day.
The products comply with all European quality standards. It completely lacks components that negatively affect the body of animals or are addictive. No traces of flavors, colors, flavor enhancers or synthetic preservatives.
The feed is made from raw materials sourced from Monge's own poultry farms... The poultry is still raised only on natural feed, without the use of hormones and antibiotics. The high quality of raw materials is evidenced by the fact that chickens, ducks and turkeys from the poultry farm are bought by the most elite restaurants.
Monge produces rations for animal feeding on high-tech equipment in compliance with all sanitary standards and necessary conditions. Dehydrated and wet food smells delicious with natural fresh meat. The brand has its own research department, where technologists are developing all new products.

On average, 280-300 g of Monge feed corresponds to 400-450 g of the budget option. The energy value of the nutritional diet is 420 kcal / 100 g.

Review overview
Monge brand feeds have been known on the Russian market for many years. During this time, pet owners have managed to form different opinions about them. Dog breeders note that some branded feeds have a higher corn content, which does not allow the diet to be classified as super premium. Experienced breeders talk about some discrepancy between the actual amount of fat and what is indicated on the packaging by the manufacturer. Also, not everyone is satisfied with the increased amount of calcium in the feed.
Any medicated food of the brand can be given to pets only as directed by a veterinarian. Specialized food cannot be assigned to an animal at its own discretion. Therefore, it can only be purchased at veterinary pharmacies or specialized stores.
Customers like the feed due to its enriched composition and lower consumption in comparison with other categories. Of the minuses - the necessary feed is not always on sale and not every owner can afford to buy it.
In general, in its segment, this is excellent quality food, made under the strict control of technologists and according to the recommendations of experienced dog breeders. A wide assortment allows you to choose the optimal diet for your four-legged friend, focused on his taste preferences and characteristics of development and body.
