Hill's Pet Nutrition

🐶 Did you know Hill’s Pet Nutrition began with a mission to save a life? 🦮 Our story started with Buddy, the first-ever Seeing Eye® dog, whose failing kidney health led to a groundbreaking partnership between Morris Frank and Dr. Mark Morris Sr.. Together, they developed a specially formulated diet that not only helped Buddy but laid the foundation for Hill’s commitment to science-led pet nutrition. From that moment, Hill’s has dedicated itself to improving the lives of pets through innovation, research, and collaboration with veterinary professionals worldwide. Today, we continue to advance pet health with the same passion that started it all. 📽️ Watch the video to learn more about how one dog’s story changed pet nutrition forever.

🐾 Meet our Pet of the Month: Nietje! 🐾 But first, we mustache you a question! Does this kitty have a distinguishing feature? We think so! Nietje may have been named after the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (thanks to her distinguished mustache and mistaken identity as a male), but her personality is all her own! When her family discovered she was a female, they gave her the charming name "Nietje," which also means "staple" in Dutch. Nietje's favorites: 🧶 Greeting humans with purrs and hand-licks. 🧶Showing her inner princess by demanding hand-fed meals. 🧶 Keeping other cats and dogs at a respectful distance (because, priorities). Nietje is adored by her pet parent, Annisa Andhini, a Product & Process Engineer at the Hill’s Pet Nutriton poduction site in Etten-Leur, Netherlands.
