Hill's Pet Nutrition, commonly known as Hill's Pet or simply Hill's, represents the bond between people and their pets. Their mission is to enrich and extend that special bond.
At Hill's, we believe all animals deserve love and care throughout their lives. This includes all the animals we care for. We demonstrate this love and care by producing pet food that makes a real difference in your pet's life. Nutrition is essential for dogs and cats to live long and healthy lives.
Hill's Pet Nutrition was founded by Dr. Mark Morris, a remarkable veterinarian. This veterinarian believed we should take pet healthcare as seriously as our own. The link between poor nutrition and illness in pets was quickly established. Therefore, he developed dog and cat food that was superior to any other available at the time.
Dr. Morris met a blind man named Morris Frank. He also met his guide dog, Buddy. Buddy suffered from kidney disease, making the dog food available at the time unsuitable for him. The dog food available at the time was high in phosphorus and protein, as this improved its flavor. However, these high levels of phosphorus and protein also made the food harmful to the kidneys. For this reason, he began developing a food that was low in salt, yet tasty and nutritious.
The son of veterinarian Dr. Mark Morris continued his father's pet food legacy. He is considered the father of healthy nutrition for small pets.
It's clear that animal welfare is a top priority at Hill's Pet Nutrition. This is reflected in their care. All dogs and cats cared for by Hill's Pet Nutrition are provided with a loving, safe, and clean environment with plenty of play opportunities. Their research methods are humane and non-invasive. Research is conducted solely to develop nutritional technologies that can help dogs and cats live long and healthy lives.
Hill's Pet Nutrition food is tailored to the metabolism of pets and begins with high-quality, great-tasting ingredients proven to provide pets with all the nutrients they need for a long and healthy life. The nutrients they use:
Amino acids
These are the building blocks of proteins. There are hundreds to thousands of amino acids, but only 20 typically form a protein. There are 10 essential amino acids for dogs and 11 for cats. These cannot be produced by the body, so they must be present in cat or dog food.
Carbohydrates
The primary purpose of adding carbohydrates and starches to animal feed is to provide vital energy. There are two types of carbohydrates: simple carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, and complex carbohydrates, also known as dietary fiber.
Fatty acids & oils
Fatty acids are used for energy and are necessary for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K. They play an important role in the functioning of the immune system in the skin and hair components.
These have various functions. They are essential as structural building blocks of organs and tissues and are even used to produce hormones and maintain a normal heartbeat.
Egg white
Proteins are essential nutrients for animals. There are 20 different amino acids that can be combined to form a protein. They are one of the building blocks of body tissue and can also serve as an energy source.
Vitamins
Vitamins are organic compounds essential for a pet's normal growth. They are needed in small amounts because they cannot be stored in your dog or cat's body.
