Mars Petcare

A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS

At Mars, we believe that pets make the world a better place. 

That’s why we’re inspired to make A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS – a world where they’re healthy, happy and welcome.

Our 100,000 Petcare Associates spend their days (and occasionally nights!) serving half of the pets of the world to improve their lives. This involves everything from their nutrition — through foods like PEDIGREE®, WHISKAS®, SHEBA®, CESAR®, IAMS® and ROYAL CANIN® — to high-quality medical care provided by BANFIELD™ Pet Hospitals, VCA™, BluePearl™ and AniCura. Our Associates also think big picture, working to tackle pet homelessness and alleviate student debt for veterinarians. Our Waltham Petcare Science Institute is also driving the innovations we need to improve pet health through nutrition, data and veterinary care.
