Compared using current public information
What matters for this choice
The registered ingredient panels match. Both list Chicken (dried 30%, fresh meat 10%), Named animal protein group, fish (dried salmon). Both also use maize gluten to supplement plant protein. Choose by intended use and breed size, not an invented ingredient winner. Matching panels do not establish identical inclusion amounts.
What they have in common
Both list Chicken (dried 30%, fresh meat 10%), Named animal protein group, fish (dried salmon) to supply animal protein.
Both list maize gluten to supply supplemental plant protein.
Both list rice, maize to supply carbohydrate energy.
Both list dried beet pulp to supply dietary fiber.
Both list animal fat (chicken oil purified at 99.5%), fish oil (salmon oil 1%) to supply fat and energy.
Shared disclosure drawback — Named animal protein group: the animal species or tissues are less specific, making unwanted animal ingredients harder to identify.

Animal protein: sources and forms
A
Monge Natural Superpremium Mini Adult Rich in Chicken
Named animal protein in the first five entries: Chicken (dried 30%, fresh meat 10%) (#1). Clearly identified animal protein sources are a strength of this label.
Chicken (dried 30%, fresh meat 10%) (#1): combines concentrated dried meat and water-containing fresh meat. The declared percentages describe ingredient inclusion amounts.
fish (dried salmon) (#9): dried animal protein ingredients. When fresh and dried ingredients both appear near the top, the label identifies a dried protein source as well as water-containing meat.
Named animal protein group (#8): the animal species, tissues or mixture are less specific. This is a weakness when your priority is identifying exactly which animal ingredients are used.
Named animal protein group (#8): proteins broken into smaller fragments. This differs from intact meat; the ingredient name alone does not make the finished food an allergy diet.
animal fat (chicken oil purified at 99.5%) (#4), fish oil (salmon oil 1%) (#10): fat/oil sources. An animal name in a fat ingredient does not make it an additional meat-protein source.

Both list Chicken (dried 30%, fresh meat 10%), Named animal protein group, fish (dried salmon) as animal protein sources. Check the named sources and forms against ingredients you need to avoid; shared names do not establish quantities or digestibility.
Is protein supplemented with plant ingredients?
A
Monge Natural Superpremium Mini Adult Rich in Chicken
maize gluten (#7): separated or concentrated plant protein that contributes to the declared crude protein. This is a different ingredient role from whole grains or pulses.
If you want to avoid added plant protein, this food does not meet that preference.

maize gluten (#7): separated or concentrated plant protein that contributes to the declared crude protein. This is a different ingredient role from whole grains or pulses.
If you want to avoid added plant protein, this food does not meet that preference.
Both use maize gluten to supplement protein. Neither meets a preference to avoid concentrated plant protein ingredients. Crude protein includes plant protein, so a higher value does not necessarily mean more animal protein.
What supplies carbohydrates and fiber?
A
Monge Natural Superpremium Mini Adult Rich in Chicken
rice (#2), maize (#3): primarily carbohydrate energy sources, also contributing the protein and fiber naturally present in the ingredient.
dried beet pulp (#5): supplies dietary fiber, contributing to the food’s fiber composition rather than supplementing protein.
B

rice (#2), maize (#3): primarily carbohydrate energy sources, also contributing the protein and fiber naturally present in the ingredient.
dried beet pulp (#5): supplies dietary fiber, contributing to the food’s fiber composition rather than supplementing protein.
Both list rice, maize as carbohydrate energy sources. Both list dried beet pulp as dietary fiber sources.
The editor’s ingredient insights
A · Monge
Natural Superpremium Mini Adult Rich in Chicken
Monge Mini Adult Chicken combines 30% dried chicken and 10% fresh chicken with rice and maize for small adult dogs. Protein and fat are moderate among foods made the same way, but calories are high at 4,050 kcal/kg, making it worth considering for dogs that need energy from smaller portions. Maize gluten contributes plant protein, so the declared protein is not all from chicken. Salmon and hydrolyzed proteins without a clearly named animal source also make it unsuitable for identifying food reactions. Dogs that gain weight easily or need to avoid rice or maize are better served by another recipe.

B · Monge
Natural Superpremium Medium Adult Rich in Chicken
Monge Natural Superpremium Medium Adult Chicken uses dried and fresh chicken, rice, maize, and chicken oil. It is worth considering for medium chicken-tolerant dogs needing calorie density, not for maize/rice avoidance or low-calorie weight control.
