Collagen is the most abundant protein in humans and pets alike. That’s why our products for the pet food segment are made with the same dedication to natural ingredients and sustainable practices as our marine collagen and marine powder products designed for human consumption. We use 100% natural marine collagen and marine powders derived from wild-caught fish, ensuring pets benefit from the high nutritional value in every meal.
Supporting your pet’s health naturally
Marine collagen is a true protein powerhouse. Produced in the same way as collagen for human consumption, it is composed of hydrolyzed peptides, which are highly bioavailable and easily absorbed by pets. Including marine collagen in pet food supports joint, skin, and gut health, making it a great supplement for dogs, cats, and even horses. It is also suitable for aqua feed.
– Although humans and pets may seem quite different, we share a common ability to benefit from marine collagen. Incorporating this natural ingredient into your pet’s diet is a simple and effective way to support their overall health, says André Bratland, Sales Manager of Pet and Aquaculture at Seagarden.
– Marine collagen is particularly beneficial for older pets, providing extra support for their joints, mobility, and overall vitality.
Marine powder in pet food
In addition to marine collagen, marine powders made from a variety of marine ingredients, including fish and shellfish, provide another valuable source of nutrition for pets. These powders are not only rich in protein but also enhance the palatability and freshness of pet food, making it more appealing to pets. The versatility of marine powders makes them an ideal ingredient in both pet food and aqua feed, adding nutritional value while also improving the sensory experience of the food.
Sustainable and ethical choices
By using by-products of the seafood industry – parts that would otherwise be discarded – we reduce tons of waste each year. Another key factor is that most of our raw materials are MSC-certified, contributing to sustainable fishing practices and ethical sourcing that respects marine ecosystems.
– We take great pride in creating valuable, high-quality products that honor the resources of our oceans. Using MSC-certified by-products allows us to reduce waste and support sustainable practices, says André.
Diverse applications
Our marine collagen consists of just one ingredient: high-quality collagen peptides made in Norway. It provides a nutritious boost and is highly versatile.
Marine powders complement our collagen by acting as both nutritional and sensory enhancers. Their natural seafood flavor and aroma make them ideal for creating pet foods that are nutritious as well as irresistible.
Beneficial and clean products
Scientific research indicates that marine collagen enhances joint flexibility, skin vitality, and digestive wellness, offering valuable benefits when included in pet nutrition. Our production process avoids artificial additives and preservatives, ensuring our products are clean, natural, and trustworthy.
– Pet owners obviously want the best for their animals, and that means high-quality, natural ingredients. I’m very proud to say that our marine collagen and marine powders meet this demand, says André.
