Alpo is a brand of pet food marketed and manufactured by the Nestlé Purina PetCare subsidiary of Nestlé. Alpo primarily produces dog food, including both dry and wet varieties. The brand is known for its focus on providing high-quality, nutritious meals for dogs of all breeds and sizes.
History[edit | edit source]
Alpo was founded in 1936 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, by Robert F. Hunsicker. The brand quickly gained popularity due to its commitment to using high-quality ingredients and providing balanced nutrition for dogs. Over the years, Alpo expanded its product line to include a variety of flavors and formulations, catering to the diverse needs of pet owners.
In 1995, Alpo was acquired by Friskies PetCare Company, which later became part of Nestlé Purina PetCare in 2001. This acquisition allowed Alpo to benefit from the extensive research and development capabilities of Nestlé Purina, further enhancing the quality and variety of its products.
