Purina One, also known as Purina ONE, is a special brand of dog and cat food. It's made by a big company called Nestlé Purina PetCare. The name "ONE" stands for "optimal nutrition enhancement," which means it's designed to give pets really good food.
This food often has some type of meat as its main ingredient. It also includes other parts like grain pieces (such as brewers rice and corn gluten meal) and whole corn.
The Story of Purina ONE
Purina ONE first appeared in 1986. It was created by a company called Ralston Purina. At the time, it was their very first "super-premium" pet food. This meant it was considered a very high-quality food for pets.
Later, Purina ONE also started making a line called "Purina One Natural Blends." These foods use natural ingredients. They were important because they were some of the first natural pet foods widely available in regular grocery and retail stores.
