Hill's Science Diet pet food

Hill's Pet Nutrition is a global leader in evidence-based pet health. The brand was famously founded following a request from a guide dog owner in the late 1930s to help a dog with kidney failure, leading Morris Mills to create specialized clinical diets. Today, it is recognized as a pioneer in veterinary nutrition, offering several product lines including Science Diet and Prescription Diet.

Most Hill's dry food products for the North American and global markets are manufactured in the United States, specifically in facilities located in Kansas, Kentucky, and Indiana. The company emphasizes high quality control, using specialized research facilities such as the Hill's Pet Nutrition Center to vet ingredients and formulate recipes. Since 1976, the brand has been a key part of the Colgate-Palmolive portfolio.

Under the ownership of Colgate-Palmolive, Hill's has expanded its international reach while maintaining its focus on professional veterinary endorsement. The brand remains the top-recommended food by veterinarians in the United States due to its commitment to science-led ingredients and predictive biology.
