Questions & Answers

No, we don't do any animal testing. We follow the guidelines developed by FEDIAF (who develop and monitor the research available for feeding dogs and cats).

Monster dry food is cooked through a so-called extrusion process where the temperature is between 90–120 °C. Monster wet food is cooked through a steaming process directly in the can, which takes place at a temperature of approximately 120 °C to ensure durability and preserved flavour.

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 correct nutrients.

Our recipes are developed according to needs, and the idea for a new product is born after requests from our consumers, retailers, salespeople or ambassadors. The recipes are developed and produced in consultation with experts.

There isn't a factory in Sweden that can produce food with as much fresh meat as Monster requires, nor with Swedish ingredients 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 maintains the high standard we want to offer – without compromising on nutritional content or quality.

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

Yes, all our wet foods are complete foods, 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 account for more than 10% of the daily energy intake. Adjust the amount according to size, activity level and food. If you give treats or chews, adjust the main feed to avoid overweight. Always ensure access to fresh water and keep an eye on them when they chew chews.

The Feeding guide for kittens is based on the kitten's weight and age in months, the portion stated is the daily portion, so the total portion should be divided into the number of portions per day. For adult cats, the table is based on the cat's weight, but then there are different tables depending on whether the cat is an indoor cat, outdoor cat or neutered, as the need changes depending on activity level and neutering.

Our Feeding guide is based on the dog's weight on all foods for adult dogs, on foods for puppies the table is based on expected adult weight and age in months to determine the food portion per day.

A rotation diet means you rotate between different protein sources, either from bag to bag or per day. That means you give, for example, chicken/turkey in the morning and lamb in the evening. A healthy adult dog can definitely rotate between Monster's different foods for adult dogs without it being a problem, as long as the dog isn't known to be sensitive.

The feeding amount in the Feeding guide is the amount that should be given per day and can be divided into several meals per day.

The puppy should eat puppy food until it is fully grown, and this occurs at slightly different times depending on the breed. Small and medium-sized 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 in adult weight) should eat puppy food until 1.5 years of age, while the largest breeds (from 40 kg and up in adult weight) should eat puppy food until 2 years of age.

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

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

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

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

Monster dry food has a crispy structure that helps to mechanically scrape away plaque and food residue when 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's dry food for dogs contains a mineral, sodium hexametaphosphate, which reduces the formation of tartar by up to 100%, this works even if you soak the food. The mechanical cleaning of the teeth that occurs from chewing only happens if the food is dry.

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

Fresh meat is tasty, the nutrients are unchanged, has high biological value and contains a lot of moisture, which means that you do not need to add a lot of liquid in the production. Dried meat contains less moisture and is thus more concentrated on nutrients, but it has already been processed once, these different properties 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 gentle on the stomach, which is why we have it in our original series.

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

We use potatoes in our food instead of traditional cereals with gluten, because some dogs have difficulty digesting gluten. Our potatoes maintain human consumption quality and undergo 120 tests before they are allowed to enter production.

Because our customers demand both grain-free and non-grain-free food and because different foods suit different individuals differently well.

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 account for 25% of the energy used in production.

The 'best before' date is always 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 thrown 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, which you seal with a resealing mechanism or with a bag clip. Then it is good if you can have the resealed bag in a bin with a lid.

Absolutely! If, contrary to expectations, your pet does not like our food, you can return the package (with at least 75% of the food left) together with the purchase receipt. Then you get your money back or try something else.
