Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. We source raw materials only from countries where there are reliable safety procedures in place, primarily in the United States, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and several European countries.

Only two of our ingredients come from China; Taurine and L-Carnitine. China is the number one supplier for many of the specialized vitamins and amino acids for all manufacturers. In fact, China supplies over 90% of the world's Taurine. The reputable facilities that we work with are strictly audited and certified prior to our even considering buying the ingredient from them. We absolutely ensure the safety of the Taurine and L-Carnitine we receive from China and feed Hill's products with confidence to our own precious pets.

We want to reassure you Hill's goes to great lengths to ensure the safety of the ingredients we use. Regardless of the country where our ingredients are sourced from, the ingredient supplier must meet Hill's strict guidelines for doing business.
