Quality Pet Food 100 Million Dogs & Cats Count On

Each year, we feed millions of cats and dogs around the world—including our own. It’s an awesome responsibility that we don’t take lightly. Which is why we make the quality and safety of your pet’s food (and ours) our top priority.

Raising the Bar with 100,000+ Quality Checks Per Day

At Purina, we never cut corners. Every batch of food we make goes through a rigorous seven-step process to ensure it’s not only safe, but high quality.

Quality Check Suppliers. Man inspecting field.

Check 1: Screen Suppliers

We conduct extensive auditing and sampling to confirm both potential and current suppliers’ facilities, ingredients and packaging materials continuously meet our high standards and that they’re sourcing responsibly.

Check 2: Inspect Ingredients

We don’t just rely on our suppliers for quality checks. We personally inspect every ingredient that arrives at our factories to double check it’s up to par with our high standards before it goes into our pet food.

With the help of technology, our team members carefully monitor batches to ensure they contain the right proportions of ingredients and follow our expert-developed dog and cat food recipes so they’re complete and balanced meals for your pet.
