About Us - Mars Pet care

We believe in creating A Better World for Pets™

Mars has been proudly family owned for over 100 years. It’s this independence that gives us the gift of freedom to think in generations, not quarters, so we can invest in the long-term future of our business, our people and the planet — all guided by our enduring Principles.

It’s undeniable: Pets truly 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 85,000 Petcare Associates spend their days (and occasionally nights!) thinking about the 400 million pets of the world and how to improve their lives. This involves everything from their nutrition — through foods like PEDIGREE®, WHISKAS® and ROYAL CANIN® — to high-quality medical care provided by BANFIELD® Pet Hospitals, VCA® and AniCura. Our Associates also think big picture, working to end pet homelessness and alleviate student debt for veterinarians. Our Waltham Petcare Science Center is also driving the innovations we need to improve pet health through nutrition, data and veterinary care.
