History
Hill's Pet Nutrition was founded in the spring of 1907 by Burton Hill and began operating as Hill Rendering Works. Hill Rendering jobs provide rendering services to Shawnee County, Kansas and have contracts with Topeka, Kansas to dispose of dead and paralyzed animals. Hill Rendering works to produce jabon, tankage, meat and animal feed including pig and chicken feed.
In the 1930s, the name was changed to Hill Packing Company which included the Milling division, Hill Milling company. At present the company produces animal feed, dog food and horse meat for human consumption, processing 500 horses per week. The meat was shipped to markets in Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands. Most of the horse meat sold to the east coast as a product called Chopped and Cured and sent to Europe as a horse lair aligned.
In 1948 Mark L. Morris contacted Hill Packing to produce Canine k/d, the Hill Packing company became a Canine license producer. In 1968, the line of food was available through veterinarians and professional pets as the Hill's Science Diet. The line continues to grow, and currently includes more than 60 brands of Diet Food recipes (prescription foods for cats and dogs with certain diseases, available only through veterinarians or pet pharmacies) and pet food Science Diet (sold through veterinarians and pets) specialty store).

Diet Science
The Science Diet was developed in 1960 by Mark L. Morris, Jr. PhD DVM (February 3, 1934 - January 14, 2007). Morris Jr. is the son of a famous vet, Dr. Mark Morris Sr. DVM, which pioneered the field of veterinary clinical nutrition when asked to make a special diet for the original sight dog, Buddy, a German Shepherd with kidney disease. That success prompted Dr. Morris and his son to make a special pet food formula for special conditions and life stages under the recipe Diet and brand name Science Diet.
Diet Recipe
Diet Recipes is a pet food line that, as the name suggests, should be supported to aid the management of clinical needs, from veterinarians.
