History
Purina traces its roots back to 1894, when founder William H. Danforth began producing feed for various farm animals named Purina Mills. The dominant brand for every animal is commonly referred to as "Chow"; then there are "Purina Horse Chow", "Purina Dog Chow", "Purina Cat Chow", "Purina Rabbit Chow", "Purina Pig Chow", and even "Purina Monkey Chow". Then, in 1902, he joined Universityster University professor Edgerly, founder of Ralstonism, who at that time produced breakfast cereals, to form "Ralston Purina Company".
Ralston Purina sold Purina Mills, the US animal feed business, to British Petroleum in 1986, while retaining the pet food and international animal feed business. In 1993, Sterling Group of Houston led leveraged purchases of Purina Mills. In 1998, it was bought by Koch Industries, but the US bankruptcy court canceled all of Koch's equity to keep the company alive. Purina Mills was bought by Land O'Lakes in 2001.

Logo
Ralston Purina is famous for its trademark "dam". The inspiration for Ralston Purina's logo comes from the family of childhood founder William Danforth who dressed in plaid cloth. The trademarks of chess boards, intended to make their game bags stand out from competitors, were introduced in 1904. Ralston Purina's headquarters are called Boxes . At one point, Ralston Purina had an interest in the National Hockey League team. Louis Blues; during this period, the arena they use is referred to as "Checkerdome".
The logo dam then developed into Danforth's personal development concept proposed in his book I Dare You, in which he proposed four key components in life ("Physical," "Mental," "Social," and "Religion" ) must be balanced, and one area does not develop at the expense of the other. This concept was intertwined with the company in 1921, when it began to sell the pressed feed in a cube called "checkers".
