Hill's Pet Nutrition, famously known for its Science Diet and Prescription Diet lines, trace its origins back to the late 1930s in the United States. The brand was inspired by a veterinarian, Dr. Mark Morris Sr., who developed a specialized diet to help a guide dog with kidney failure. This pioneered the field of clinical nutrition for pets, leading to the formal establishment of the company in Topeka, Kansas, which remains its primary global hub.
Today, Hill's is a global leader in premium pet nutrition, focusing on science-backed formulas tailored to specific life stages and health conditions. While most of its dry kibble is manufactured in its own facilities in the United States—specifically in Kansas, Indiana, and Kentucky—the brand has expanded its supply chain globally to include centers in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands to serve international markets. In 1976, Hill's was acquired by the Colgate-Palmolive Company, which has since overseen its growth into one of the most trusted veterinary-recommended brands in the world.
