A useful tool to monitor cognitive function in dogs.​

Learn about ways food preferences can develop, strategies to improve appetite in hospitalized patients, and how behavioral medicine can influence food consumption in dogs and cats at home.

Nutrition plays a critical role in successful feline reproduction and in supporting development and growth of healthy kittens before and after birth.

Raw food diets are popular with pet owners but the nutritional benefits are unproven, and most are unaware of the health risks that raw food can pose to pets — and people.

Learn how nutritional innovations can help protect brain health, manage age-related cognitive changes in dogs and cats, and improve outcomes associated with idiopathic epilepsy in dogs.

Learn about key nutrients that support heart health in cats and dogs, and discover how Purina’s scientists identified a specific nutrient blend that can help support heart function and slow heart disease progression in dogs with early stage myxomatous mitral valve disease.
