Background: ownership, sourcing and positioning
Hill's Science Diet and Tyga offer two different approaches to the Australian cat food market. Hill's Science Diet built its Australian presence by cultivating veterinary clinic relationships rather than retail shelves. Tyga develops its recipes with board-certified veterinary nutritionists and cooks gently at 85 degrees C rather than serving raw or extruding. The two brands differ in several ways beyond the one point highlighted here.
Hill's Science Diet is made in the United States. It employs more than 150 in-house veterinarians and PhD nutritionists, and runs a veterinary-only clinical portal at myhillsvet.com.au.
Tyga builds each recipe on 87 to 91 percent named meat and organs with functional whole-food extras like green lipped mussel, tuna and shiitake. It offers a kangaroo recipe, a lean novel protein uncommon among cooked cat foods.
