FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This year, natural pet food pioneer the NUTRO™ brand, proudly part of the Mars family of brands, is celebrating its 100th anniversary - that's 700 dog years! - of nourishing products for dogs and cats alike. This historic milestone is a culmination of NUTRO's family-owned roots and the brand's commitment to creating top-quality, nutritious pet food that has set the standard for the industry long before health-conscious options became the norm.

Pets' health starts with what they eat. For 100 years, the NUTRO brand has been guided by that principle, creating delicious recipes that help to keep dogs and cats nourished and healthy. From introducing whole grains for digestive health to being the first brand to guarantee healthy skin and shiny coats in 25 days with Omega3 and six fatty acids, the NUTRO brand's nutrient-rich and flavorful options provide total peace of mind.

"Since NUTRO joined the Mars family in 2007, it has continued to raise the bar for ingredient transparency and sustainability in the pet food industry," said Elizabeth Barrett, Vice President of NUTRO & GREENIES, Mars Pet Nutrition North America. "We're proud to celebrate this momentous occasion and look forward to carrying the brand's legacy into the future."

The NUTRO brand has cultivated trusted partnerships with farmers and suppliers to source high-quality protein options that serve as the foundation of every recipe. From treats and toppers to meals, the brand uses purposeful ingredients starting at the soil. Through the GREATER GROUND™ program, the NUTRO brand helps protect healthy soil to feed the future - for people and pets - promoting healthy soil practices among farmers in its supply network.
