general description
The production of the presented products is based in Italy. Monge has been doing this since 1963.
Monge foods are made from fresh and dried meat. In addition, they contain useful additives: brewer's yeast, vitamin and mineral complex, beet pulp, chondroitin, glucosamine, chicken and fish oil and others. These substances are common ingredients. The rest of the ingredients depend on the type of food. A list of components with an indication of their percentage is available on the package.

The manufacturer takes his products to the premium class, however, the presence in some varieties of corn - a fairly strong allergen - raises doubts about this. True, the Monge puppy food line is extensive in its variations, so you can purchase another type of food that does not contain corn.

The nuances of feeding
You can see that the variety of foods for puppies and juniors from Monge gives the freedom to choose a diet for a pet of almost every breed.... It remains to find out how to correctly calculate the daily feeding rate of a pet, depending on its weight and age.
For the convenience of the owners, on the official Monge website, in the description of each type of feed, convenient dosage calculation tables are given. There are indicated: the approximate weight of the dog, its age, activity. At the intersection of these data, you can find the desired feeding rate. Do not exceed the given indicators, since there is a danger of overfeeding the pet and disrupting the work of its still fragile digestive system.
In addition, overfeeding is fraught with obesity, which will then be difficult to fight.
Feed - both dry and wet - should be given at strictly allotted hours... Some breeders leave dry food in constant access, and feed wet food on time. However, it is best not to do this. The dog will get used to "bite" on the go, will cease to feel satiety and excitement from the "hunt".
As a result, all the same obesity, distension of the stomach, irregular problematic stools, excessive capriciousness (intelligibility) in food may occur. That is why it is recommended to feed any food strictly by the hour, and after feeding - to wash and remove the bowl.
