Question: are iams and purina the same company?
Answer: Del Monte isn't the only Big Food company to own pet food brands: Nestlé (no relation) owns Purina PetCare, with a long list of brands. Mars (yes, the chocolate company) has a Petcare division. Procter & Gamble used to own Iams but sold it to Mars in 2014 for nearly $3 billion.
