Powered by the Purina start-up accelerator lab, the Unleashed competition brings together industry experts and pet tech innovators to create the next app or product that can change our pets lives for the better.
Purina is looking for new products that are convenient, useful, and (most importantly) strengthen the loving bond between pets and people.
