Questions & Answers

No, we do not conduct animal testing. We follow the guidelines set out by FEDIAF (which develops and follows the research available for the Feeding guide of dogs and cats).

Monster dry food is prepared by a so-called extrusion process where the temperature is between 90-120°C. Monster wet food is prepared by a steaming process directly in the can, which takes place at a temperature of around 120°C to ensure shelf life and retained taste.

All raw materials undergo 120 quality tests in the factory before they can be used in production. This is to ensure that they are safe for dogs and cats, and that they contain the right nutrients.

Our recipes are developed on demand, and the idea for a new product is born out of requests from our consumers, retailers, salespeople or ambassadors. Recipes are developed and created in consultation with experts.

There is no factory in Sweden that can produce feed with as much fresh meat as Monster requires, nor with Swedish raw materials in the volume and quality we want. To be able to offer the quality we want, with a high proportion of animal ingredients, we chose a specialized facility in the Netherlands. By producing in the Netherlands, we can ensure that Monster meets the high standards we want to offer - without compromising on nutritional content or quality.

Our knowledge and experience have been passed down from generation to generation. We create dog and cat food without unnecessary middlemen. This gives us the opportunity to influence and be responsive. The idea of Monster was born out of a concern for our four-legged family members. Our food is about passion and quality - and a lot of heart.

Yes, all our wet food is complete food, including our sausages (Sausage) which are often used as rewards.

Chews and treats should always be given in moderation and as part of a balanced diet. A good guideline is that treats should not make up more than 10% of the daily energy intake. Adjust the amount according to size, activity level and feed. If you give treats or chews, adjust the main food to avoid overweight. Always ensure that fresh moisture is available and keep an eye on chewing bones.

The feeding guide for kittens is based on the kitten's weight and age in months, the amount given is the daily amount, so the total amount should be divided into number of portions per day. For adult cats, the table is based on the weight of the cat but then there are different tables depending on whether the cat is indoors, outdoors or neutered, as needs change depending on activity level and neutering.

Our feeding guide is based on the weight of the dog on all adult dog foods, on puppy foods the table is based on the expected adult weight and age in months to arrive at the daily feeding rate.

Rotational diets involve rotating between different protein sources, either from bag to bag or per day. I.e. giving e.g. chicken/turkey in the morning and lamb in the evening. A healthy adult dog can absolutely rotate within Monster's different adult dog foods without it being a problem, as long as the dog is not known to be sensitive.

The feeding rate in the feeding table is the rate to be given per day and can be divided into several meals per day.

Puppies should be fed puppy food until they are fully grown, which varies slightly depending on the breed. Small and medium breeds (1-25 kg adult weight) should eat puppy food adapted for them up to 1 year of age. Puppies of large breeds (from 25-40 kg adult weight) should eat puppy food until 1.5 years of age, while the largest breeds (from 40 kg adult weight and above) should eat puppy food until 2 years of age.

In addition to a formula with high-quality proteins and minerals for strong bones and healthy joints, there are also feeds in the series with extra added glucosamine and chondroitin in the feeds where the need is greatest.

It is a naturally pure mineral clay that absorbs dangerous substances, toxins and harmful bacteria in the gut and then transports them out naturally.

Probiotics are the gut bacteria (Enterococcus Faecium) that we add to feed to boost the gut flora.

The best combination of probiotics, prebiotics and a mineral clay to help balance and strengthen the gut flora and create a strong immune system.

Monster dry food has a crunchy texture that helps to mechanically scrape away plaque and food debris as the cat chews. The size of the food pieces is adapted to encourage the cat to chew instead of swallowing directly, and we also have a variety with extra large pieces called Big Cat.

Monster dry dog food contains a mineral, sodium hexametaphosphate, which reduces the formation of tartar by up to 100%, even if the food is soaked. The mechanical cleaning of teeth caused by chewing only occurs when the food is dry.

No, our products only contain meat from the EU except for the lamb which is from New Zealand, no meat is from China.

Fresh meat is tasty, nutrients are unchanged, has a high biological value and contains a lot of moisture, which means that you do not need to add a lot of liquid in production. Dried meat contains less moisture and is thus more concentrated in nutrients but it is already processed once, these different characteristics mean that a combination of the two is best.

Between 50-75% depending on the product.

Oats are a gluten-free carbohydrate source that is energy-dense and kind to the stomach, which is why we have it in our Original range.

Peas are a carbohydrate source with more dietary fiber and less starch than, for example, cereals, resulting in a lower glycemic index, which is better for blood sugar.

We use potatoes in our feed instead of traditional cereals with gluten, because some dogs have difficulty digesting gluten. Our potatoes are of human consumption quality and undergo 120 tests before they can go into production.

Because our customers demand both grain-free and non-cereal-free feeds and because different feeds suit different individuals differently.

Depending on raw material – different countries within the EU. A few from other parts of the world, such as lambs that come from New Zealand. For us, it is important that the raw materials are of high quality. We do not want to risk that any raw material are running out and have therefore chosen not to take all the ingredients from one and the same country – as it is very fragile in terms of production.

Our dry food is produced in a state-of-the-art facility that recycles water and has wind turbines that provide 25% of the energy used in production.

The best-before date is always indicated on the packaging but is 18 months after the date of manufacture.

The dry food bags are made of a mixed material, so the bag should be disposed of in the household waste. The cans can be recycled and sorted as metal packaging.

The best way to store our dry food is in a dry and cool place, preferably in the original packaging, sealed with a resealing mechanism or with an Easter clip. Then it is good if you can have the resealed bag in a barrel with a lid.

Absolutely! In the unlikely event that your pet doesn't like our feed, you can return the packaging (with at least 75% feed left) together with the purchase receipt. You can get a refund or try something else.
