How Purina PRO Plan is helping to support your pet's nutrition

Our cats and dogs are more than just animals – they’re sources of joy, comfort, and inspiration, enhancing our lives in countless ways. It’s no secret that pets brighten our lives with companionship and health benefits.

Here are 5 important ways pets make our lives better:

Boosts Mental Health: Pets reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Their loyalty, companionship, and calming presence elevate mood and bring comfort, especially during tough times.

Encourages Physical Activity: Walking a dog or playing with a pet keeps you active, improving cardiovascular health and fitness. Studies show dog owners are more likely to meet daily exercise goals, benefiting both pet and owner.

Fosters Social Connections: Pets help people meet and bond with others. Dog owners often chat with each other on walks, and pets in general make great ice-breakers, easing social interactions.

Adds Routine & Purpose: Caring for pets brings a sense of structure, responsibility, and purpose. Their regular feeding and exercise schedules provide daily motivation and enhance emotional well-being.

Provides Sensory Stress Relief: Touching or playing with pets lowers blood pressure and releases calming hormones, offering natural stress relief. Pets’ affectionate presence soothes and relaxes us, bringing joy to everyday life.

How great is that?

That’s why Purina PRO PLAN is honouring this impact across New Zealand by ensuring our cats and dogs receive the nutrition they need to keep brightening our days.

"New Zealand's pets come in a wonderful variety of sizes, breeds and temperaments but the one thing they all have in common, is the joy and inspiration they bring to our lives," shares Stephanie Pritchett, Head of Marketing at Purina New Zealand. "Which is why Purina PRO PLAN is on the search to uncover and celebrate the joy our cats and dogs bring us, when well-fed and well-looked after." 

With a healthy diet, pets have the energy to join us on morning walks, lift our moods with their playful antics, and become an integral part of our families. Investing in their nutrition supports not only their health but also their ability to bring joy and connection into our lives.
