Hill’s nutritional philosophy
Trends come and go, but we believe that science should always lead the way, creating food that helps pets live happy, healthy lives.
The Hill’s Pet Nutrition Center
Innovative pet food takes an understanding of what pets love. That’s why more than 900 dogs and cats ensure that our final products can be enjoyed by pets around the world.
High-quality standards
We accept ingredients from high-quality suppliers that meet our strict standards. Each ingredient undergoes a safety check to ensure it meets our nutritional requirements. Our finished products are inspected and tested for key nutrients to ensure consistency and safety.
Proteins with purpose
We’ve introduced two new protein sources to some of our pet foods: wild-caught Alaskan pollock sourced from an MSC-certified sustainable fishery, and fiber-rich insect protein. Both additions are made for a hopeful planet and well-nourished pet.
Pets have a way of transforming us as individuals and as a community. We embrace a diverse workforce, brought together by a love for pets.
