Monge Monoprotein All Breeds Adult Turkey with Rice and Potatoes

Editor ingredient insight

Monge Monoprotein Turkey with Rice and Potatoes clearly leads with 30% dried turkey and 10% fresh turkey, but 15% brown rice, maize, purified chicken oil, 4% potatoes, and maize gluten follow.

I would explain it as turkey-led, not as a strict single-protein or low-starch diet. At 30% protein, 13% fat, 4,050 kcal/kg, 90 mg/kg L-carnitine, 570 mg/kg glucosamine, and 400 mg/kg chondroitin, it has enough strength for active adults.

However, hydrolysed animal proteins, salmon oil, and dried garlic are also present, and calcium/phosphorus are not disclosed here.

It is a poor fit for strict chicken-avoidance, grain/maize avoidance, or tightly controlled allergy feeding.

Ingredient #1Upper

Turkey (dried 30%, fresh 10%)

Turkey (dried 30%, fresh 10%) is a species-named dehydrated animal protein ingredient. It is distinct from rendered meal and usually supports a denser animal-protein structure. It reads as an upper-tier protein source.

Ingredient #2Upper

brown rice (15%)

brown rice (15%) is a whole or coarse grain ingredient. It usually plays more of a carbohydrate and fiber role than a core protein role. It reads as an upper-tier carb and fiber source.

Ingredient #3Mid

maize

maize is a refined carbohydrate source. It usually reads as a starch and energy source rather than a protein driver. It reads as an mid-tier carb source.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG

What to consider before feeding

Turkey (dried 30%, fresh 10%) supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. brown rice (15%), maize supply carbohydrate energy. The recipe combines animal protein sources with carbohydrate sources.

maize gluten supplement plant protein further down the list, after the first three ingredients. The crude-protein figure includes both animal and plant contributions. animal fat (chicken oil purified at 99.5%) add fat and energy; fat content is a separate choice criterion from the protein sources.

Some protein sources are not fully identified, which limits choices that require excluding a specific protein.

What works well in this food

  • Crude protein is on the higher side.
  • Top ingredients do not show a prominent FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile.

Check before feeding

  • Refined carbohydrates lose fiber, vitamins, and minerals during processing, and mainly act as starch and energy sources. Because of that, our engine reads ingredient quality more conservatively than it would with whole grains.
  • Processed plant protein appears after the top 3, so some protein support is still built into the label number.
  • The recipe leans on dehydrated animal ingredients, so texture or palatability can feel different from a fresh-meat-led recipe.

When this food fits your dog

Among foods made the same way, protein is higher, fat is typical, and calorie density is higher. Compare this combination when both protein and concentrated energy matter. It can help plan smaller portions, but dogs prone to weight gain should not switch gram-for-gram from a less calorie-dense food.

Consider it first when

  • Steady protein-first shopping
  • Choosing from named animal proteins
  • Balanced shortlist building

Choose another food first when

  • Weight control comes first
  • Fresh-meat-first premium quality matters most

High calorie density remains the clearest trade-off here.
