Our Community Partners

We are proud to support leading charities who share our values, from pet welfare organisations to those promoting responsible pet ownership.

At Purina, our passion for pets, as well as our commitment to helping loving pet owners give their pets everything they need to stay healthy and happy, goes far beyond our products.

We also see it as our responsibility to nurture and support deserving causes, to promote the highest standards of pet care, to prevent cruelty and to share our understanding and experience with others.

We are proud to support, in a variety of ways, leading charities who share our values, from pet welfare organisations to those promoting responsible pet ownership. Our philosophy is to work together with key partners to create programs that bring real, tangible benefits to pets and the people who love them.

SPCA

We are very proud to be working with SPCA to help feed a better future for pets.

At PURINA we believe pets and people are better together and are guided by a passion for pets. That’s why we are proud to be providing over 80,000 kg of pet food each year to feed the cats and dogs of SPCA.

We are dedicated to assisting in the rehabilitation and re-homing of rescue pets throughout New Zealand. PURINA is proud to support a range of leading pet welfare organisations and charities that share our values, in a variety of ways – supporting those who dedicate their lives to improving the life of domestic pets, as well as organisations promoting responsible pet ownership.

Every shelter pet deserves a second chance at life. Through adoption, our four-legged friends are able to leave their pasts of neglect and abandonment behind them and become beloved family members and lifelong companions.

PRO PLAN and Dogs NZ

Purina PRO PLAN is a proud partner of Dogs NZ since 2020. Dogs NZ is the largest organisation of dog owners in New Zealand with a strong focus on healthy, active, well-mannered dogs and responsible dog ownership.

We share many of the same beliefs as Dogs NZ on the role that our companion animals lay in our society, and importance of responsible dog breeding through the Dogs NZ Breeders Code of Conduct and having a well-trained dog with the Canine Good Citizen programme.

As part of this partnership, Dogs NZ and Purina support NZ dog owners and breeders in highlighting the important role that nutrition plays in all stages of the dog’s life.
