We believe that pets and people’s lives are better when they are together.
This is why we have been creating high quality nutritious food for pets for over 85 years.
Nourishing pets. Enrichening lives
At Purina, we believe in creating food that nourishes pets, giving them energy to run after a ball or catch a feather, and in providing cutting-edge nutrition that guarantees more years full of health and happiness by your side.
The bonds we make with our pets nurture both their lives and ours - which is why we're always working hard to improve our pet food.
Our Philosophy on Nutrition
We believe pets and people are better together. For more than 80 year's we have been able to improve nutrition day by day. Thanks to our team of more than 400 scientists and nutritionists, we've been able to develop market-leading food products, and make those products accessible to the majority of pets around the world. We've sem in our own experience how the night food can extend a dog's health for years. That's why we're on a mission to improve pet food standards Leam about the nutntion philosophy that guides us in everything we do.
Leaders in research
Hundreds of our researchers between our Research and Development Center in Northwest Missouri and our main offices in Saint Louis, are working against the clock to make discoveries to improve the lives of our pets; from finding the main causes of pet obesity, to understand how nutrition affects aging. In addition to our operations base, we also have researchers in France, China, Australia, and Argentina already working on making new discoveries. We publish our results in top-level academic journals and at the leading veterinary conferences.
Fostering Research Associations
In addition to our own research, we finance jobs from both veterinary universities around the world and organizations that share our high standards regarding care and compassion for pets.
These are some of our research partners:
Cornell University
University of Pennsylvania
Texas A & M University
Colorado State University
University of Missouri
University of California, Davis
The benefits of proteins
We know that high quality proteins are an important element of a well balanced staple diet for dogs and cats.
High quality proteins found in Purina® products
They support essential functions such as tissue repair and muscle growth.
They provide the amino acids that your pet needs.
We have done the appropriate research and have discovered that cereals are an effective protein complement for dogs.
