Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is a leader in the pet products industry, dedicated to improving the lives of cats and dogs through quality nutrition and care. Core philosophies include promoting responsible pet care, humane education, community involvement, and the positive bond between people and their pets.

In December 2001, Nestlé S. A. completed the acquisition of the Ralston Purina Company and began the process of integrating their Friskies Petcare business with Ralston Purina to create the world's leading petcare company, Nestlé Purina PetCare.

Friskies had over 80 years of pet care experience, about the same as Ralston Purina, and now that wealth of knowledge, all based around understanding and meeting the needs of pets and their owners, is being combined to enhance pet nutrition and continue to provide the finest quality pet foods.

This combined expertise allows Nestle Purina to be at the forefront of research into dog and cat nutrition.

Nestle Purina is involved in extensive work with the veterinary profession across the world to ensure that dogs and cats are provided with the best possible nutrition. In addition to Purina Veterinary Diets range, which is only available through veterinary practices, Nestle Purina manufacture PRO PLAN, Bakers, Beta, Bakers, Felix, Go-Cat, Purina ONE, Winalot, and many other well-known brands.
