Greatness Starts Here

It all started with an innovative spirit and a belief that nutrition could foster excellence in animals, and the families that care for them. Purina strives to help unlock the greatest potential of every animal they serve. Purina's ideas have revolutionized the way animals are fed. Over the years, they've discovered 235 nutritional solutions for animals across 24 species. 

The Purina Animal Nutrition Center is their home of scientific research and innovation. The 1,200-acre facility is an expansive working farm with separate units devoted to Equine, Dairy, Swine, Cattle and Companion Animal research. Caring for over 1,000 animals in every stage of development, their researchers seek vital new data in areas like digestive physiology, animal metabolism, and growth and development. Those insights drive product development and rigorous testing of new diet formulations. All with a single aim — healthier, stronger animals that are the picture of greatness.

Researchers who get results.

The force behind Purina's quest for greatness is a talented group of Ph.D. nutritionists and veterinarians. Together, they have conducted more than 24,000 research studies in fields across the country and registered over 125 patents.

It's not feed. It's food.

The way Purina sees it, there’s no such thing as being too careful with animal nutrition. That’s why they test each feed product at every step. And why they reject tons of ingredients that fail to meet their standards. Quality assurance is as old as the Purina name.
