ABOUT DOG CHOW
Dog Chow was introduced in 1957 by Ralston Purina, becoming one of the first dry dog food brands to utilize extrusion technology. It is a flagship brand within the Nestlé Purina PetCare portfolio, which Nestlé acquired in 2001 through its purchase of Ralston Purina. Positioned as an accessible, nutritionally complete dry dog food, Dog Chow maintains a significant presence in the mass-market segment.
