At Purina, we believe that pets enrich our lives in countless ways. The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is our way of celebrating the extraordinary animals who have gone above and beyond. As Canada’s longest-running pet recognition program, it has honoured hundreds of pets for their acts of heroism, loyalty, and love.

The Hall of Fame is not only a celebration of these remarkable animals but also an opportunity for Canadians to share their own stories. If you know a pet who has made a difference, we encourage you to nominate them.
