HILL’S™ PET NUTRITION’S mission is to help enrich and lengthen the special relationship between people and pets.

They’re passionate about providing the proper nutrition that helps pets on their way to the  loving home they deserve. Since 1997, they’ve supported shelter animals by ensuring they follow a precisely balanced nutrition plan 365 days a year through their Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love™ program.

Every Hill’s™ pet food purchase helps to support this program. The company feeds homeless pets in over 50 Australian shelters every day. They have donated more than one million kilograms of food to shelters changing   over 100,000 pets’ lives every year through their donations. The result? A forever growing number of happy, healthy shelter pets going home every year.

A story from RSPCA NSW

A young pup, Bella, had her life turned around with the help of Hill’s™ Science Diet. She was rescued by RSPCA NSW Inspectors because she was being kept in horrible conditions. Suffering from a severe skin condition and completely emaciated, when she arrived at RSPCA NSW she was put straight on Hill’s™ Science Diet puppy food. Living in foster care for several months while she slowly built up her weight and strength, Bella has now been adopted and is a perfect healthy weight. Even her coat is shiny and beautiful.

A little history

Hill's™ Pet Nutrition food’s story began in 1939, when Dr. Mark L. Morris Sr. believed certain health conditions in pets could be managed through carefully formulated nutrition. His ideas were visionary in veterinary medicine.

A young blind man asked Dr. Morris if anything could be done to help his guide dog, who was having kidney issues. The result was a nutritional formulation that became the first product in the Hill's™ therapeutic range. Their Prescription Diet™ and Science Diet™ pet foods offer some of the highest-quality pet nutrition available. Since 1997 Hill’s™ has supported local animal welfare groups, feeding over 100,000 pets every year. Science Diet™ pet foods are recommended by Vets worldwide – the highest quality ingredients precisely balanced for every life stage and special need. Everyday each of us is helping to make a difference for people and their pets all over the world.
