Hill’s research and development

Hill’s research and development

We share a special relationship with veterinarians

     

Hill's employs over 220 veterinarians, Ph.D. nutritionists, and food scientists who work every day around the world to create new products and improve existing ones, aiming to help your pet live a long, healthy, and full life.

 

Hill's scientists author more than 50 research papers and textbook chapters each year and teach at leading schools of veterinary medicine all over the world, so that we can put our knowledge and expertise into every Hill's pet food.


Our food for dogs and cats are formulated for optimal balance of nutrients and the best taste. We know great nutrition for pets not only meets nutritional needs but also avoids excess nutrients, such as salt, that can be harmful over time. Hill's long-term investment in learning, technology, and talented scientists has helped us develop industry-leading product innovations, including an extensive range of clinical nutrition products for unwell, at-risk, and healthy pets. Your pet's well-being is our reward.

The Hill's Pet Nutrition Center in Topeka, Kansas, is a state-of-the-art centre that illustrates our commitment to improving the health of cats and dogs. In addition to a staff of veterinarians and board-certified specialists in nutrition and internal medicine, we also have a staff of pet partners. Our pet partners put our products to the test, ensuring your pets get the most nutritious, best-tasting food available. In return, we give them everything a pet could want, including clean, roomy living quarters, exercise areas, an agility course, and plenty of friends, both human and animal. Each pet has its own dedicated team. They develop a strong trust and human-animal bond, just like you and your pets do. Learn more about our commitments to animal welfare for our pet partners, and for the animal ingredients used in our products.

Consequently, our products have been trusted by millions of pet owners since 1939, and today, countless veterinarians recommend and feed Hill's products to their own pets.
