2. Look for locally grown and close to home. When choosing pet food, 78 percent of pet owners specifically seek options made with U.S.-sourced ingredients. This is in line with evolving consumer preferences for buying locally or domestically made products. Domestically sourced pet food ingredients indirectly support family farms across the country and help build stronger, more economically stable communities. The vast majority of the ingredients Purina uses are agricultural materials sourced from U.S. farms. All
Purina suppliers are thoroughly assessed before becoming an approved partner, ensuring that each meets the company's standards for food safety, business integrity and environmental stewardship.
3. Transparency occurs from ingredient source to bowl. If you're someone who wants to dive deeper beyond the list of ingredients on the back of the bag, some pet food companies make traceability and transparency even more accessible. Knowing where our food comes from is important, and Purina's Interactive traceability map highlights many of its top ingredients by volume, providing pet owners an added layer of confidence knowing where the ingredients are sourced for the nutritious food in their pet's bowl.
