Monge is a very common Italian pet food brand in Hong Kong, founded by the Monge Group in 1963, with over 60 years of manufacturing experience. Its factory is in Italy and products are exported to more than 80 countries worldwide, making it one of Europe's largest pet food manufacturers.
"Is Monge good?" Direct answer: Its strengths are well-differentiated series and a clear price ladder — Simba takes the natural everyday route, Bwild focuses on low-grain, Fresh and Fruits are convenient trays, Natural ocean fish offers protein up to 19%, and Delicate is designed for sensitive stomachs (fat as low as 0.3%). The entire line contains no artificial colours or preservatives, some products meet non-animal-testing standards, and steam cooking preserves the original taste of ingredients.
Which country is Monge from? Italian origins since 1963
Monge originates from Italy and is operated by the Monge Group. The brand was founded in 1963, has pet food factories in Italy, and exports to more than 80 countries worldwide. The manufacturer is MONGE & C. S.p.A., which discloses its factory authorisation number. In Hong Kong, it is imported by Yuen Fu (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.
The brand's formulas have several consistent features: fresh meat with vegetables, fruits and natural herbs; some products add F.O.S. fructooligosaccharide prebiotics and a new generation of natural xylooligosaccharide prebiotics; fortified with vitamins A, D3 and E; no artificial colours or preservatives; the Fresh series claims No Cruelty Test. The cooking technique uses steam cooking, and the natural cooking water is retained in the can, so no extra water is needed — this helps preserve the original taste and reduce high-temperature damage.

What cat canned food does Monge offer? Nutritional data comparison
| Product | Main ingredients | Crude protein | Fat | Moisture | Approx. price |

Monge dog food and dog trays: large bags or trays — which is better value?
Dog products come in two routes. For long-term feeding and cost control, choose large-bag dry food or canned food:
- Simba natural series adult dog formula chicken 20kg — about HK$328, lowest unit cost
- Simba dog canned food chicken & turkey 415g / veal 415g — about HK$9.8, large cans convenient for mixing with food
- Bwild low-grain series adult venison 15kg / pork 15kg — about HK$871.2 / HK$862, low-grain design
For trying flavours, or if you only have a small dog, trays are more practical:
| Product | Main ingredients | Crude protein | Fat | Moisture | Approx. price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh dog tray beef 100g | Meat and animal derivatives 80% (fresh beef 10%) | 9% | 7% | 82% | HK$8.2 |
| Fresh dog tray salmon 100g | Fish and fish derivatives (including 30% salmon) | about 9% | about 7% | about 82% | HK$8.2 |
| Fruits dog tray turkey blueberry 100g | Meat 80% (fresh turkey 10%), blueberry 4% | 8.5% | 7% | about 82% | HK$8.2 |
Both Fresh and Fruits contain 80% meat ingredients, of which 10% is fresh meat, with moisture maintained above 80%, helpful for dogs that don't drink enough water. Fruits adds 4% natural fruit (e.g. blueberry, apple), providing antioxidants such as anthocyanins; Fresh trays are labelled grain-free, based on meat and minerals.
How to choose for pets with sensitive stomachs? What's special about the Delicate series?
Delicate is Monge's line designed for sensitive stomachs. Take the complete wet cat food fresh chicken as an example: fresh chicken 75%, crude protein 16%, fat 0.3%, moisture 80%, with added F.O.S. fructooligosaccharide.
F.O.S. is a prebiotic that promotes the growth and reproduction of beneficial gut bacteria, helping balance gut flora and indirectly improving digestive health. Combined with the low-fat design and steam cooking, the overall digestive burden is smaller, suitable for indoor cats with lower activity, cats needing weight management, or pets with weaker digestion.
One note: sensitive stomachs have many causes, and food is only one factor. If a cat or dog has long-term soft stools, vomiting or weight loss, changing canned food alone won't solve it — see a veterinarian as soon as possible.
How much to feed per day? Monge feeding amounts and transition process
| Pet type | Weight range | Daily recommended amount |
|---|---|---|
| Adult cat | Average weight | 4 to 5 cans (each 80g) |
| Medium dog | 10 to 12kg | 600g to 800g |
| Small dog | 2 to 10kg | 180g to 600g |
| Kitten/puppy | Adjust by activity level | Refer to packaging data |
Transition steps (7 to 10 days)
- Days 1-3: 75% old food mixed with 25% new food
- Days 4-6: 50% each
- Days 7-10: fully switch to new food
During the transition, monitor stools; if stools become soft, extend the mixing days; if diarrhoea or vomiting persists, pause and consult a veterinarian. Also, if mixing dry and wet food, pay attention to calcium-phosphorus balance.
What to note when buying Monge in Hong Kong?
- Check the origin — dog wet foods such as Fresh and Fruits are labelled as imported from Italy; some cat cans are produced in Thailand, as stated on the label
- Choose the right life stage — dry food has puppy, adult dog, kitten and adult cat versions, with different nutritional ratios for different ages
- Try small packs first — new owners can buy small sizes to observe adaptation before stocking up on large bags
- Post-opening management — refrigerate cans immediately after opening and consume within 2 days; do not use if deformed or bulging
- Buy from authorised channels — purchase through authorised distributors to avoid expired or improperly stored goods
