Nutrigenomics

Nestlé Purina scientists use molecular and functional genetics to help them understand the “why” behind dog health. Our goal is to impact the processes through nutrition.

Nestlé Purina scientists use molecular nutrition to identify gene-expression changes related to specific health conditions and examine how nutrition can help manage canine health. Whether scientists are studying the nutritional management of obesity, joint conditions, or food allergies, molecular nutrition helps them to fully understand the biological context of certain changes and how they can be used in order to benefit dogs.
