Marine Ingredients for Pet Nutrition

From sustainably sourced tuna, we deliver premium omega-3 oils, collagen peptides and bio-calcium that help pet brands create science-backed supplements for every life stage and need state.

Beyond Basic Kibble 🐾

Pet owners are no longer satisfied with "adequate" nutrition, they want functional benefits. The market has shifted toward targeted supplements and therapeutic diets that address specific health concerns.

As a manufacturer of human-grade pet ingredients, we help you move beyond the "bulk protein" commodity market. We provide bioactive, scientifically backed ingredients that allow you to make specific health claims on your packaging—whether for a senior dog joint chew or a kitten development formula.

Supporting Pets Through Every Stage of Life

Like humans, pets have different nutritional needs throughout their lives. Our marine-derived ingredients help brands develop targeted supplements that support healthy development, active adulthood, and graceful aging.

Puppy/Kitten

(0-1 year)

During early growth, optimal nutrition lays the foundation for lifelong health. DHA supports healthy brain and vision development, while marine calcium promotes strong bones and teeth. Collagen peptides also help maintain healthy skin, joints, and digestive development as young pets grow.

Adult

(1-7 years)

Adult pets require balanced nutrition to maintain an active lifestyle and overall wellbeing. Our marine ingredients help support mobility, cognitive function, skin & coat health, immune resilience, and digestive wellness, enabling brands to formulate premium daily health supplements for long-term vitality.

Senior

(7+ years)

As pets age, maintaining mobility, cognitive function, and quality of life becomes increasingly important. Marine omega-3s, collagen peptides, and marine calcium work together to support healthy aging by promoting joint comfort, brain health, skin integrity, and bone strength, helping senior pets stay active for longer.
