Hill’s Pet Nutrition: The Pet Food Brand Trusted by Australian Vets*
“Thank you, Australia’s veterinary profession, for supporting the health of pets.” — Hill’s Pet Nutrition
In an era when pet owners are bombarded with conflicting nutritional advice, 74% of pet parents turn to their veterinarian as an authority on pet health.^ That trust in veterinary guidance plays an important role when choosing food for a dog or cat.
New research from Kynetec confirms that, in this vital role, Australian vets choose Hill’s Pet Nutrition as the #1 trusted and recommended pet food brand by Australian vets.*
“At Hill’s, we know that trust is earned, not given. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the entire veterinary community for your continued confidence in our food, your dedication to evidence-based nutrition, and your support in fostering the health and longevity of Australia’s pets.”
An Expert in Disease Management
Confidence in Hill’s ability to deliver results remains high, with the majority of surveyed vets trusting the brand. Hill’s is recognised as the expert in disease management.
Hill’s Prescription Diet is the #1 recommended pet food brand by Australian vets for managing:
- Arthritis
- Dental issues
- Urinary issues
- Kidney issues
- Obesity issues
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Recovery
Nutrition is an important part of managing a pet’s health needs. If your pet has one of these concerns, speak with your veterinarian about their care and whether Hill’s Prescription Diet may be appropriate. Always follow your vet’s advice when choosing a specialised diet.
Hill’s Science Diet vs. Hill’s Prescription Diet
Hill’s offers two distinct nutrition ranges to support pets’ needs. Hill’s Science Diet provides everyday nutrition for healthy pets, while Hill’s Prescription Diet offers therapeutic nutrition clinically formulated to help manage specific medical conditions when recommended by a veterinarian.
A Heartfelt Thanks to the Veterinary Community
At Hill’s, they recognise that this milestone would not be possible without the dedication of the veterinary community. Dr Ilze Nel, Professional & Veterinary Affairs Manager at Hill’s, speaks to the importance of this veterinary trust:
“At Hill’s, we are incredibly proud to be named the #1 trusted and recommended pet food brand by Australian vets*. This ranking is the direct result of a deeply valued, active partnership with the professional veterinary community, whom we are committed to supporting every day. We want to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks to Australian vets for their continued trust and recommendation. We work side-by-side with clinics and researchers because we share the same ultimate goal: providing pets with nutrition that works for a happy, healthy life together.”
Hill’s Pet Nutrition is dedicated to helping pets live long, healthy lives and continues to provide evidence-based nutritional care for cats and dogs. Their consistent scientific approach helps them create food to support pets’ best lives.
They value the veterinary community’s ongoing dedication and support, and look forward to continuing to support vets and pet owners together.
