Local Medical Issues
There are numerous local, medical issues that can impact your pet's health that require your attention over the entire year. For example, there's heartworm disease, which can affect both cats and dogs. Since heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes, which thrive in our region, it's a serious cause for concern. The winter temperatures do not get cold enough here to kill mosquito eggs, so the disease is a year-round risk. Likewise for the potential for flea and tick infestation or intestinal parasites, each of which poses a problem in any season. Finally, contrary to what you'd expect, allergies are a year-round issue. Many pets suffer from skin and ear allergies, the signs of which include scratching, redness in the ears and scaly skin.
We harness the scale and strength of our global network while acknowledging each individual's contribution. We work locally to improve the lives of all who interact with our brand.

Today, Hill's Pet Nutrition carries on the tradition of caring that began in 1939 with one remarkable veterinarian. Our Prescription Diet®, Science Diet®, Ideal Balance™ and Healthy Advantage® pet foods offer the highest-quality pet nutrition available. We're making a difference for people and their pets all over the world. The Hill's® pet food lines began in 1939. Dr. Mark L. Morris Sr. believed certain health conditions in pets could be managed through carefully formulated nutrition. His ideas were visionary in veterinary medicine, and he soon had the chance to prove his theory. A young blind man named Morris Frank asked Dr. Morris if anything could be done to help his guide dog, Buddy, who was having kidney health issues. The result of Dr. Morris' efforts was the nutritional formulation that became the first product in the Hill's Prescription Diet line of therapeutic pet foods, and the world's first pet food designed for kidney health. Soon after, Hill's Pet Nutrition was founded and the field of clinical nutrition sprang to life. That first therapeutic dog food evolved into Hill's® Prescription Diet® k/d®, which is still sold today.
