The certification, created in partnership with urban-planning organization, Civic Design Center, evaluates cities based on 12 traits of pet-friendly cities across four categories: businesses, parks, shelters and homes. Applicants that received a certification demonstrated their commitment to creating a pet-friendly community and fostering the well-being of all citizens and pet companions. “We established the BETTER CITY FOR PETS™ certification to celebrate cities that are creating positive and welcoming environments for people and their pets and encourage more cities to recognize the benefits of our four-legged friends,” said Jam Stewart, Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Mars Petcare. “We’re excited to announce the inaugural group of certified cities and look forward to continuing this progress with The BETTER CITIES FOR PETS program.” To learn more about how to get involved in this initiative, and for the full list of BETTER CITY FOR PETS™ certification recipients please visit www.bettercitiesforpets.com.

(October 1, 2014) – Today Mars Petcare officially opened the doors of its new, state-of-the-art, Gold-LEED certified $110 million Global Innovation Center in Thompson’s Station, Tenn. The new campus, designed to help the company Make a Better World for Pets™ through pet food innovations, is the third Mars Petcare innovation center and first in the United States. It will serve as the global center of excellence for the company’s portfolio, which includes five billion dollar brands: PEDIGREE®, WHISKAS®, ROYAL CANIN®, BANFIELD® and IAMS®. The new center joins forces with similar Mars Petcare Global Innovation Centers located in Verden, Germany and Aimargues, France, and will focus on dry cat and dog food in both the natural and mainstream pet food categories. “Everything about this campus is dedicated to helping pets live longer and happier lives,” said Larry Allgaier, president of Mars Petcare North America. “Mars has been doing business in Tennessee for the past 35 years, employing nearly 1,700 Associates across our Petcare, Chocolate and Wrigley business segments. Our $110 million Global Innovation Center marks the sixth Mars site in Tennessee and will employ more than 140 Associates.” The location in Thompson’s Station was selected in part because of a great working relationship with the state of Tennessee, which is already home to Mars facilities in Cleveland, Chattanooga, Lebanon and Franklin (two locations).

  • Pet Care Market Offers Opportunity for Food Producers
    FOOD EXPORT ASSOCIATION OF THE MIDWEST USA®/FOOD EXPORT USA®-NORTHEAST February/March 2017 The bi-monthly newsletter for importers of U.S. foods Vol. 13 No. 1 Pet Care Market Offers Opportunity for Food Producers The pet food market is “exciting” compared to human food and other consumer product markets, according to Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Pablo Zuanic. At the same time, the trend toward natural and premium pet food is disrupting the industry’s traditional leaders. Food companies such as Mars Inc., Nestle and J.M. Smucker Co. are also working to gain market share in the pet food industry. They are currently focusing on specialty products such as grain-free dog food and delicatessen-inspired cat food, and Mars’ focus on clinics and surgery may help it stand out from its rivals in the business. The company is working to diversify outside of its candy business, acquiring veterinary and dog daycare company VCA Inc. for $7.7 billion. The move brings the company deeper into pet care, expanding its offerings to cover products and services from food to surgery, reported The Wall Street Journal (Jan. 10). Nestle currently holds the biggest dollar share of the cat and dog food markets with offerings including Purina Pro Plan, Purina Dog Chow, Friskies, Beneful and Purina ONE, giving it 66.8% and 41.1% shares, respectively. J.M. Smucker has the largest share of the pet treat market at 31.8%. In comparison, Mars holds 7% of the cat food market, 29.3% of the dog food market and 20.2% of the pet treat market.
