Purina

About Purina

Purina is one of the world's largest pet nutrition companies, operating out of Vevey, Switzerland under the Nestle umbrella. In Australia the brand is best known for its Pro Plan range — a veterinary-backed line of dry and wet foods formulated around specific life stages, breed sizes, and health needs including renal, digestive, and urinary care. The Petlife accessories range (beds, toys) also carries the Purina name here, though nutrition is the core of what the brand does.

Pro Plan positions itself as a step up from mainstream supermarket foods, with formulas developed in collaboration with veterinary nutritionists and backed by feeding trials. The ingredient lists are protein-led — typically chicken, salmon, or lamb as the primary ingredient — and the range covers puppies through to senior dogs and cats. The prescription-adjacent lines (EN Gastroenteric, NF Kidney Function) are sold through vet clinics and online, and are genuinely distinct formulations rather than rebranded standard food.

The brand spans a wide price bracket in Australia. Basic wet food multipacks sit in the affordable end of the premium segment, while large bags of Pro Plan Performance or the Bright Mind senior formula occupy the upper-mid tier. If you're comparing across retailers, pack sizes and multipack counts vary significantly, so checking per-unit price is worth the extra click.

Purina products are widely available across Australian pet retailers. Poppy compares prices at 10 stores to find you the best deal.
