Purina – Passionately Committed to Pets
Proud to be a PAW Team Give!Guide ad sponsor & business partner in 2011
Purina is passionately committed to pets and has provided for animal health and well-being for over 115 years. We believe every pet deserves to eat well. From well pet foods to therapeutic diets, the Purina name reflects this passionate commitment and spirit of inquiry: unrelenting quality, proven science, results focused. Through partnerships with respected colleagues and veterinary thought leaders, Purina stands for trust. When pets face challenging health issues, we believe in working hard to keep it simple, distilling years -or decades- of research into focused solutions to provide nutritional support to help keep pets well.
As passionate pet owners ourselves, we believe in doing what we love, and we love what we do! Our understanding of pets runs deep through every corner of our culture. We have an unparalleled network of scientific innovators worldwide and employ scientists, nutritionists and pet specialists across multiple areas of expertise, from Veterinarians to Behaviorists to Molecular Biologists.
We believe in making a difference where you can and are champions of the cat and dog-loving community. We provide funding to animal welfare organizations nationwide through our Purina® Pets for PeopleTM network, and seek out sustainable practices to reduce our environmental impact. We are proud to partner with The Delta Society, the leading international resource for the human-animal bond, in addition to over 100 partnerships with external research institutes and universities worldwide.
We believe that we need to keep asking “What’s next?” In 1926 Purina opened the Purina Pet Care Center, the first facility in the world devoted exclusively to pet nutrition and care. This commitment was completely unprecedented; and set our leadership role in motion. Today, many of the pet food category’s gold standards began with Purina, long before they were considered common practice.
We promise to continue searching for new ways to challenge traditional thinking, and bring innovation to pet care. Your pet, our passion, we promise to make each brand our best, bringing quality nutrition to as many pets as possible.
Sincere thanks for helping us continue to serve our most disadvantaged citizens!
