Morris Animal Foundation

Morris Animal Foundation

"Mark L. Morris Sr. founded Morris Animal Foundation in 1948. Dr. Morris was a veterinarian, humanitarian, and visionary who pioneered advancements in nutrition and the development of today's quality dog food. Sadly, back in the 1930s and '40s commercial dog food usually included only the most wretched ingredients. In some instances, dogs were actually sickened by these foods. In many cases, due to the lack of nutritional value in the food, dogs suffered from chronic malnutrition and its terrible, painful effects."
