Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc.
 PROFILE
Hill's Pet Nutrition seems to be barking up the right tree -- it is the leading producer of premium pet food in the world. The company's Science Diet pet food is available in pet stores and other retail outlets. It has more than 30 Prescription Diet products available only through veterinarians. The cat and dog foods are available in varieties geared to a pet's dietary requirements, medical condition, and age. Hill's Pet Nutrition also makes animal treats. Its products are sold in the US, Japan, and more than 65 other countries around the world. This subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive began in 1948, after a veterinarian cooked up a special food to treat a guide dog's kidney problems.
