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.
Veterinary health

Our purpose-driven team of 70,000 passionate, pet-loving Associates spanning preventive, general, specialty, and emergency veterinary care set a standard for high-quality care delivered through millions of pet visits each year across nearly 3,000 veterinary clinics worldwide. Together, we are dedicated to harnessing our combined knowledge, talent, and resources to lead the future of pet care and achieve our Purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS.

Pets are becoming more and more important to us. This is why at Mars Petcare we're pioneering new ways of helping pet owners all over the world to better understand and meet their pets’ needs, including our pet care startup accelerator and investment fund, so they can live happy, healthy lives, together.
Our businesses are imagining a more sustainable future
Our Purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS also means a more sustainable world for pets, people and for the planet. As part of the Mars Sustainable in a Generation plan, we’re integrating sustainability into the heart of our business and bringing even more innovative, sustainable choices and services to pet owners around the world.
We’re focused on driving sustainable practices to improve our environmental pawprint, operating and sourcing responsibly, and expanding access for pets and influencing policy.
We support vulnerable pets to get the care they need
To better understand the issue of pet homelessness and factors contributing to it, we teamed up with leading animal welfare experts and organizations around the world and together we developed the State of Pet Homelessness Project(Opens a new window) - the largest ever international study into pet homelessness.
The ambition of the project is to drive more informed and targeted action to help reduce pet homelessness and ensure pets get the care they need.
Our science is shaping the future of veterinary care
We’re on a mission to improve the lives of pets by better understanding their needs through science. Researchers at the Waltham Petcare Science Institute(Opens a new window) are working with veterinary teams and data scientists from across our entire Petcare business and leading research organizations worldwide to advance personalized pet healthcare, so pets can stay healthy for longer.
We’re also supporting quality research to better understand how our relationships with pets might benefit our mental and physical health.
Our business and family of brands
Serving almost half a billion pets through our iconic brands and services around the world is a big responsibility. We are committed to transforming the experience of pet ownership with a relentless focus on our Purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS.
