Bonio

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Bonio is a popular brand of dog food and dog treats that originated in the United Kingdom. The brand is currently owned by Nestlé Purina PetCare, a subsidiary of the multinational conglomerate Nestlé. Bonio dog biscuits are well-known for their distinctive bone shape and are often used as a training aid or reward for dogs.

History[edit | edit source]

Bonio was first introduced in 1932 by Spratt's Patent Ltd, a British pet food company. The name "Bonio" is derived from the Latin word "bonus", meaning "good". The brand quickly gained popularity due to its nutritious formula and unique bone-shaped biscuits.

In 1951, Spratt's was acquired by Spillers, a British animal feed company. Under Spillers, Bonio continued to grow and expand its product range. In 1998, Spillers was bought by Nestlé Purina PetCare, which continues to produce Bonio products today.
