ZuPreem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ZuPreem is a brand of Premium Nutritional Products, Inc., which manufactures and sells animal feeds, particularly for zoo animals and exotic pets.
[edit] History
The idea for ZuPreem started when Mark Morris, DVM, founder of Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc., and his son developed a range of specialized diets for cats and dogs with particular health concerns, marketed as Prescription Diets and Science Diets. A phone call to Mark Morris Jr., DVM from a local zoo director in 1964 lead him to begin researching the nutritional needs, and developing foods, for many different species of animals, including primates, bears, reptiles, ferrets, birds, and exotic felines. Currently, David Morris, son of Mark Morris Jr., runs the company, and continues to expand the line of foods with an emphasis on companion exotic animals as well as zoo animals.
