Hill's Pet Nutrition

Brand origin and history

Hill's traces back to a U.S. origin: the Hill Packing Company (founded in the early 20th century) worked with Dr. Mark L. Morris Sr. to produce veterinarian-developed therapeutic pet food formulas; the partnership that led to Hill's Prescription Diet began with the canning/licensing of Dr. Morris’s formulas in 1948.
