A person who has a dog or a cat should know that it is better to buy food from premium pet food companies. The reason is simple. Such food contains more natural ingredients and components. And food that is an economy one has more chemical preservatives and does not often get approval of AAFCo standards. Let us discuss some of the premium dog and cat food producers on the market these days.

Royal Canin is the most widespread and famous one. You can find dry formulas for dogs of different sizes, breeds and ages on offer. They are also a premium source of cats food. Royal Canin meets international standards and produces a lot of veterinary diets not only dried but also canned. Their history started in the second half of the 20th century and thanks to the scientific focus many breakthroughs and innovations happened.

Six years later it was bought and new product was researched (Max). They have formulas such as Ultra, Natural choice and Max to ensure holistic nutrition, healthy skin and quality food respectively. It is also possible to choose food for dogs and cats of different ages and breeds.

Another company is owned by Colgate-Palmolive company and produces Hill’s science diet dog food. It was initially started by a veterinarian from New Jersey - Dr. Mark Lorris Senior, who worked to help dogs in kidney failure. His son continued father’s vision and Hill’s Pet Nutrition Company started to operate. They work hard to provide customers and their dogs and cats with healthy food that is created with scientific approach to nutrition. It is possible to find formulas for pets of different sizes and ages. They have also created a line of prescription diets for animals.
