Purina

If you have pets, you have probably at one point or another fed those animals Purina products. When it comes to pet feed, there is no other company that can rival Purina its claim to being an empire. Starting out as the Ralston Purina Company, the pet food giant is now known as the Nestle Purina Company.

Purina dog food, commonly known as Purina Dog Chow, comes in a wide variety of flavors and formulas; the same is true for Purina Cat Chow. Purina ONE – quite possibly the most popular brand of Purina cat food for those who like to give healthful feed to their pets – is highly palatable and looks a lot like Science Diet kibbles to the untrained eye.

Yet Purina did not always enjoy a good reputation. Its plant in Colorado was known for the strong smells that emanated from it, and thus Purina became a bit of a byword for those who lived downwind from the factory. Similarly, the very cheap Purina cat food blends were blamed by pet owners for the urinary tract problems some male cats experienced, which resulted in expensive veterinary treatments. While this could not be conclusively proven, the fact that the rumors went around was enough to cause a sense of wariness with cat lovers, leading to a decline in pet food sales.

Over time, the company was able to rectify the latter simply by introducing Purina prescription UR cat food which was formulated for the treatment of urinary tract problems in cats. Today, Purina dog food coupons are among those most commonly clipped from Sunday newspaper inserts, and Purina Puppy Chow is quite often considered a great starter food for the newest member of the family.

Yet did you know that in spite of Purina cat food coupons – and of course the ever popular Purina ONE cat food coupons – there is more to Purina feed than meets the eye? As a matter of fact, Purina feeds are not just formulated for domestic pets anymore, but Purina Game Fish Chow is a staple in the hatcheries of many states, and for those who have ever spent the quarter to get out some animal feed to present to ducks, geese, fish, and other wild animals that may be seen at petting zoos, at hatcheries, and other areas where feeding is permitted, know that Purina is most likely the company that manufactured the kibbles they are holding!
