Royal Canin was founded in 1968 in France by a veterinarian who wanted to produce a science-based pet food. After much growth and a series of sales, Royal Canin was purchased by Mars, Incorporated in 2001. Their global headquarters is still in France and the food is sold around the world. In the United States their headquarter is in St. Charles, Missouri. They have manufacturing facilities in Missouri and South Dakota.
This public offering of stock for Blue Buffalo never happened, perhaps because of a lawsuit filed by Purina Pet Food against Blue Buffalo in May 2014. From the Mars Petcare website, the company owns â35 brands in total, including four billion dollar brands: Pedigree, Whiskas, Royal Canin, Banfield (veterinary clinics).
