Hill's Science Plan Pet Food

Hill's Pet Nutrition is a global leader in health-focused pet food, famously rooted in the development of the world's first clinical veterinary diet. The brand began in the late 1930s when Dr. Mark Morris Sr. developed a special formula to treat a guide dog suffering from kidney disease, leading to the creation of the 'Prescription Diet' line. Today, the brand is divided into two major labels: Science Plan (biology-based nutrition for healthy pets) and Prescription Diet (therapeutic nutrition for specific medical conditions).

Manufacturing for Hill's occurs primarily in the United States, with major facilities in Kansas, Kentucky, and Indiana. To serve international markets, the company also operates significant production hubs in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. The brand has evolved from a small veterinary practice innovation into a multi-billion dollar cornerstone of the global pet care industry.

Since 1976, Hill's has been a major subsidiary of the Colgate-Palmolive Company. This acquisition integrated the brand into one of the world's most successful consumer goods networks, allowing for massive expansion in research and development. Hill's remains headquartered in Topeka, Kansas, where it operates a state-of-the-art Pet Nutrition Center dedicated to improving animal health through science.
