PET CARE: ASK THE EXPERTS WITH CODY

(in memory of Cody who passed away on December 11, 2024.)

(BPT) - When you pick up a bag of pet food from the store or click "add to cart" online, you deserve peace of mind knowing that the product you are buying is a safe and high-quality food. At Purina, this commitment to safety and quality is at the heart of everything the company does. With millions of pets in the U.S. enjoying Purina products, the company is as committed to safety as it is devoted to pet health and the opportunity to enrich the lives of pets and the people who love them.

The science behind peace of mind

Purina is dedicated to ensuring that every pet food product meets its high standards of quality and safety. To support this mission, nearly 500 scientists, veterinarians and pet nutrition experts work to innovate and improve formulations, helping pets lead longer,

healthier lives. But science is just one part of the equation. Manufacturing teams conduct 100,000 quality checks every day across its operations using a 7-step process to ensure that Purina's stringent standards are met.

100,000 daily quality checks

Rather than relying solely on suppliers' assurances, Purina goes the extra mile, conducting its own audits and sampling to verify quality directly from the source. By doing this, Purina helps to ensure that the company's strict standards are upheld.
