I thought this was really interesting - read on

The Company was Inspired By A Guide Dog
In 1939, his ideas were visionary in veterinary medicine. Dr. Mark L. Morris, Sr., believed certain diseases in pets could be managed through carefully-formulated nutrition.

The chance to prove his theory came when a young blind man named Morris Frank asked Dr. Morris if anything could be done to save his guide dog, Buddy, who was suffering from kidney failure. The result of Dr. Morris' efforts was the nutritional formulation that would become the first Hill's* Prescription Diet* product, and the world's first pet food designed to help dogs with kidney disease. Soon after, Hill's Pet Nutrition was founded and the field of clinical nutrition was a brand new industry.

Dr Morris' commitment to Morris and Buddy became the inspiration for our company mission: to enrich and lengthen the special relationships between people and their pets.

Today, each person who works for Hill's carries on the tradition of caring that began more than 50 years ago with one remarkable veterinarian. We understand we aren't just making the highest quality pet nutrition available, we're making a difference for people and their pets.
