Impact

As a purpose-driven family business, we research and follow the science to develop certified products that don’t strip our oceans of valuable resources. We are making an impact through our ethical supply chain, science-backed formulations, and third-party testing to bring new and innovative solutions to an ever-growing community of conscientious pet parents.

Making a Positive Impact Through Our Mission

As a conscientious pet wellness company, our first responsibility is to design our products responsibly, with as light a footprint on our ocean as possible. In partnering with an ethical supplier, we integrate pure fish oil products with our mission of transparency and sustainability to create a win-win solution for pet owners. Our supply chain and sustainability are inseparable which offers pet owners continued trust through transparency, setting us apart and raising the bar within the pet industry.

rePurpose Global Partner

We’re proud to be partners with rePurpose Global to remove one lb/kg of plastic from the ocean for every product we sell. We are able to achieve this through rePurpose’s Impact Guarantee program. Our specific vetted impact project Laut Yang Tenang is Vital Pet Life’s effort to stop ocean bound plastic waste from leaking into Indonesia’s coasts and protect its fragile ecosystems and biodiversity. The project focuses on the recycling of low-value, flexible LDPE and HDPE plastics, which are typically ignored by local waste collectors due to low market value. Through a network of Material Recovery Facilities, Project Laut Yang Tenang aims to create dignified livelihoods for informal waste aggregators and workers through steady and fair wages and safe working conditions. By mobilizing them to collectively address plastic pollution in Indonesia’s pristine natural environment, the project ensures that plastic waste is collected and sustainably managed, while ensuring ethical standards are upheld.
