Omega-3 solutions

Replace fish oil. Keep the omega-3 strategy.

Your omega-3 supply shouldn't depend on the next fishing season

Pet parents expect the best for their furry friends, and omega-3s deliver on what matters most: brain health, joint support, immunity, and overall well-being. But the ingredient that has long powered these benefits is under pressure. Fish oil volatility, driven by climate change and tightening global inventories, is creating real supply and cost challenges for pet food manufacturers, with disruption expected to persist well into 2027. The old approach no longer holds.

As a global leader in omega-3 innovation, dsm-firmenich offers what fish oil can't: reliable, scalable supply. Our expanding portfolio of sustainable omega-3 solutions, including Veramaris® O3 Max Pure, Veramaris® Pets, and DHAgold™, gives manufacturers the flexibility to meet every formulation need, without the uncertainty. Produced through controlled microalgae fermentation our omega-3s deliver year-round availability, consistent quality and full traceability - with no fishing seasons, no supply gaps, no compromise on nutritional performance.

Ready to future-proof your formulation? Our experts are here to help you find the right fit.
