Background: ownership, sourcing and positioning
Hypro Premium and Purina Pro Plan sit at opposite ends of the ownership spectrum in the Australian cat food market. Hypro Premium positions its 85g pate pouches around hydration and urinary tract support (reducing FLUTD risk), pairing kibble and pate as a half-and-half feeding routine. Purina Pro Plan launched LiveClear in 2020, the first cat food using an egg-derived anti-Fel d 1 protein to reduce environmental cat allergens. The two brands differ in several ways beyond the one point highlighted here.
Hypro Premium is built on a grain-free, 100 percent real meat positioning using locally sourced Australian ingredients, made at Hypro's own NSW facility. It is a brand of Hypro Pet Foods, a family-owned Australian manufacturer in the Hawkesbury Valley run by the Camilleri family for more than 25 years, alongside its Be Frank and Pure Life brands.
Purina Pro Plan is produced at the Blayney NSW factory that has made Pro Plan since 1989, after absorbing roughly AUD$200 million in Nestlé investment over the past decade and now running on 100 percent renewable electricity.
