We're a "safety first" culture driven by a zero defect and zero waste mentality set out to enrich the lives of pets everywhere.

Your needs are our responsibility-job security, benefits, safety, and career growth. But, we leave it up to you to shape our future and your career aspirations.

Our newest factory, located along the Virginia border, breathes new life into a former brewery, creating an innovative and technologically advanced pet food manufacturing facility.

With a strong focus on sustainability and safety, this facility is committed to doing our part to care for the environment, like conserving water, investing in renewable electricity and maintaining zero waste for disposal. As we expand, we proudly build upon our 90-year legacy of crafting science-based dog and cat foods that pet owners' trust. At Purina, we are deeply passionate about supporting the communities where we live and work, and we bring that same engagement and commitment to Rockingham County. Together, we create a brighter future for pets and our community.
