College Feeding Program
At selected veterinary colleges around the world, Hill's donates pet food products at no charge for teaching hospitals’ animal patients and for the pets of students and staff. Schools then have the opportunity to sell this provided food and designate the proceeds to student activities and scholarships. Please ask your veterinary affairs manager if this program is available at your school.

College Visits
Hill’s is pleased to provide students in many colleges with lectures on small animal clinical nutrition from Hill's Veterinary Affairs Managers and the Mark Morris Institute. A wide range of subjects are offered, including preventive health care through nutrition and dietary recommendation for numerous disease indications. Hill’s also provides nutrition curriculum to schools in Japan, Canada and in the United States.
