PET CARE: ASK THE EXPERTS WITH CODY

Another way Purina cares for the environment is through their efforts to reduce water consumption in factories and continually assess process improvements throughout its business and manufacturing operations.

Through strategic partnerships, Purina has invested in wind and solar power to achieve 100% renewable electricity across all its facilities within North America. Purina's mission is built on providing high-quality, nutritious food for pets while being responsible stewards of the environment. Rigorous processes and unwavering commitment help ensure that pet owners can feel confident in their choice, knowing they're providing the very best for their beloved companions.

Manufacturing with precision

Every batch of pet food is carefully monitored to ensure that the correct proportions of ingredients are used, adhering to expert-developed recipes. Additionally, at multiple points throughout the production process, samples are taken and analyzed to ensure that pets receive complete and balanced meals that support their nutritional needs and life stage.

Made in the U.S.A. in Purina-owned factories

Factory team members help ensure that packages are filled correctly and labeled with a unique code that allows Purina to track everything back to its source. Because 99% of Purina's products are crafted in the U.S. at one of its 23 factories, every aspect of the 7-step process can be watched closely. Direct oversight into every batch of pet food means Purina knows exactly when and where it was made and where it's going.

Helping care for the planet

Purina is not only committed to pet health and safety but also to environmental sustainability. When sourcing ingredients and packaging materials, Purina is mindful of the environmental impact.

Purina does this by supporting farmers as they transition to regenerative agriculture practices to improve soil health and ultimately increase soil organic matter, which helps to sequester carbon.
