Kinship is unlocking a new world for you and your pet. Because, if you’re like us, your pet is your world. Our family of brands is continuously working to challenge preconceived notions, evolve our environments, and (re)build a universe that supports and centers on people and their pets—all with the power of Mars Petcare behind us. Like most families, we have different interests and expertise. But we all come together with a common purpose and love of pets—because they’re our kin too.

• PetExec is the world's leading tool for pet care businesses, helping teams of all sizes more efficiently manage their daycare, boarding, grooming, and training operations. So they can spend more time on pets.
