Eukanuba has been in the business of pet nutrition since 1969. Backed with scientific research, Eukanuba follows a nutritional philosophy for dogs which states that since dogs evolved from carnivores their diet should be more reflective of a carnivorous diet. That is why the primary source of protein in Eukanuba is made up by animal proteins derived mainly from chicken or lamb, rather than from vegetables. The vastness of their nutritional dog food range reflects their commitment to the overall health and happiness of dogs.

The premium pet food caters to all aspects of a canine’s health, developing and maintaining lean muscles, strong bones and teeth, healthy and shiny coat, and improved immunity and digestive system. To best meet the needs of man’s best friend, Eukanuba has customized its food on the basis of life stages (puppy, adult, senior), size (small, medium, large), breed type (Rottweiler, Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Boxer), food types (dry and wet) and special needs (support for weight loss, digestion, skin care, joints, pregnancy/lactation).

First brush with large scale success came in 1923 when Milky Way bar was launched and became an instant success. Mars, Incorporated relocates to Chicago, Illinois in 1929.
