Dogs (extra large dog beds) are one of man’s best friends and they have been with us for hundreds of thousands of years. We have been able to study and understand their nutritional needs over these several years and thus have developed different types of food for the different breeds of dogs. The best part about it is that we have created processed food that can be carried around. This processed food can fit into boxes and tins and can even be stored away for a long time for future use. This advancement has primarily been due to the hard work of the Dog Food companies that have put in the time and effort into Research and Development over these last several years. Let us now take a look at the 3 best dog food brands available in the market today.

Purina:

Purina is one of the oldest Pet Food Brands that is still in existence today. It was started in 1894 by William Danforth in St. Louis, Missouri. The company started manufacturing food for all sorts of domesticated animals. Their food was branded with a ‘chow’ at the end of the names, as in ‘Purina Horse Chow’, ‘Purina Dog Chow’, etc. This made their brand unique and stand out amongst customers across the United States. Even after over 110 years, they still continue with the practice of using ‘chow’ in their brand names. In 2001, European Food giants Nestle acquired Purina and integrated it with their Pet food business. Ever since, it has grown even more rapidly and is one of the largest Pet Food Companies in the World today.

Royal Canin:

Royal Canin was originally founded by a French vet called Jean Cathary. He noticed that a lot of the pet animals in the region were suffering from fur loss and other nutrition-related disorders. Thus, he started making a highly nutritious diet in his own kitchen and started giving it to the pet owners who came to him. Upon seeing that his dog food did indeed improve the condition of the pets, he decided to start up a company and sell his pet food. Thus Royal Canin was born in 1968. Today, it remains as one of the World’s leading pet food companies.

Pedigree:

Pedigree originally started off in Slough in the United Kingdom as a unit that bought low quality meat, packed it and sold it as pet food. It was taken over by Mars, the confectionery company in 1934 and was rebranded as Pedigree. It is one of the largest pet companies in the World today in terms of market share.
