Who we are

Creating richer lives for pets, and the people who love them.

We believe that when people and pets bond, life becomes richer.

It’s a sentiment that has been part of our businesses through time and really brought to life through the PURINA brand that William H. Danforth created in 1904.

This belief is now placed at the heart of everything we do and the products we make across the globe.

Our passion for pets goes beyond pushing pet nutrition forward, and into forging partnerships in the pet welfare world and raising awareness of what pets truly need. After all, we’ve seen firsthand how powerful the bond with a pet can be, and the many unique ways that pets can strengthen our families and bring our communities closer. Because we want dedicated and passionate employees on our team, we make sure that Purina is a great place to work. You can tell from the moment you walk in the door that our world revolves around pets, whether you’re seeing the art on the walls or the many cats and dogs that employees bring to work every day.

A Company of Pet Lovers

At Purina, we believe that pets and people are better together. In fact, many of us are so attached to our pets that we bring them to work every day. Not only do our pets get more time to socialise and play, but we find that it boosts our work environments well.

We know the benefits of pets in the workplace firsthand. That’s why we’re working to inspire other workplaces to become pet-friendly too. Learn more about our Pets At Work initiative here.
