What is it

Monge Special is a 400g canned wet food, made in Italy, that’s complete and balanced for all life stages: adult dogs and puppies alike. Complete means it can be fed as a full meal, not just a topper. Monge is a respected European brand, and this can rates 4.9 on Shopee PH. Per Monge, the adult paté runs about 9% crude protein and 81% moisture: meaty and hydrating, the way wet food should be (exact numbers vary by flavor).

Is it good value?

Around ₱75 per can as of July 1, 2026, check the latest price on Shopee. For an imported, complete wet food that’s fair: more than local cans but less than premium names like Royal Canin. Sulit if you want a quality upgrade without overspending.

How far does a 400g can go?

It depends on your dog’s size and whether you feed it as the whole meal or a topper. As a full meal, one 400g can roughly covers a small dog for the day, while a medium or large dog needs more than one, which is why many owners mix a few spoonfuls into kibble instead. Used that way as a topper, a single can can last several days, so the ₱75 stretches much further. The wet texture helps too: at 81% moisture, it’s a gentle way to get water into a dog that doesn’t drink enough on its own, or to tempt a sick or fussy eater back to the bowl.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want a better-quality complete wet food and don’t mind paying a bit more than bargain cans. It’s also a smart pick for puppies, seniors, and picky eaters who do better with soft, meaty food than plain dry kibble. Compare it with dry mains and other wet picks in our best dog food in the Philippines roundup, and our how to choose dog food guide explains what “complete and balanced” means.

Alternatives to consider

If you’d rather build meals around a dry main, the Petsup Complete Nutrition dry dog food is our Best Overall pick at around ₱225 per 1kg as of July 1, 2026. Feeding several dogs or a large breed? The 8kg Pet One beef teriyaki sack takes Best Big-Bag Value at around ₱540 for the lowest cost per meal.
