Seal in some health for your furry friends!
Our cats and dogs take care of us just as much as we take care of them.
So we owe it to our little buddies to put their paws on the path to big health with all-natural, 100% Canadian seal oil. Mix in some superfood goodness to their regular diet and watch the meowgical benefits that are certainly something to bark at!
They’ll run, jump, pounce and play with the energy of a kitten or puppy, and look as cute and handsome as the day you brought them home.
Seal oil is the purrfect supplement because it contains not only DHA and EPA, but also DPA – a third powerful omega 3 fatty acid that enhances the amount of the other omega 3s in the body. DPA is 10X more powerful than EPA!
And because seal oil comes from another mammal, our feline and canine friends can digest and absorb these essential fatty acids much easier than fish oils and other sources of omega-3!
Be prepared, this unique source of omega 3 is sure to bring games of fetch up a notch! Of course, knowing your pet feels good is the greatest benefit of all!

Carino Omega 3 oil is produced to the highest standards in the world, and our supplements are tested for purity, safety, and levels of DHA, DPA, and EPA. Our advanced refining process purifies the oil by removing environmental toxins and impurities without altering the properties of the seal oil itself. This means you get a 100% natural, fresh, pure, healthy product.
Carino is committed to the environment and stewardship of our marine ecosystem.
We recognize that the world’s largest source of protein comes from the ocean, and this demand will continue to grow – so the ocean and its resources must be responsibly managed.
At Carino, we are fully committed to ethical, humane, sustainable harvesting. This also means using every part of the animal — the hide, meat, and oil rich in omega 3 fatty acids. To reduce our carbon footprint even further, we even recycle the oil that doesn’t meet our exacting standards.
Responsible use of resources is a central principle of modern conservation and at Carino, we believe in preserving what nature provides.
The seal harvest is not only viable and sustainable, but also a necessary fisheries eco-management tool. While some people may be concerned that the seal population is at risk, this is not the case at all! The seal population is abundant. When it remains unchecked, it can have a devastating impact on fish stocks — as well as the health of the seals themselves. Seal quotas are set based on sound science to ensure sustainability.
Carino has been a driving force behind efforts to improve animal welfare standards, and has been involved in the rewriting the Marine Mammal Regulations. Carino is proud to have created training materials for the Humane Harvesting and Quality Handling course — a mandatory training program for all commercial harvesters.
Our harvesters are trained & licensed and are sanctioned by the Government of Canada under the Fisheries Act. They are committed to the best practices for sustainability, food safety, and animal welfare.
Our Story
The pristine ocean waters bordering Canada’s northeast coast are some of the cleanest and coldest in the world.
This is where Carino harvests seals, from abundant wild herds. The Omega 3 oil, meat, and textiles are responsibly and ethically harvested by proud local people, with a generational knowledge of sealing. Our promise to our clients and customers is to uphold the highest possible standards of safety, quality, and sustainability.
Generations of rural residents on Canada’s Northern and Eastern coasts have made a life from the ocean. It’s part of who we are. We have a deep appreciation for the ocean and our environment and are committed to protecting it for future generations.
Carino’s sealing history goes back generations. From its beginnings with Rieber in Norway and NuTan Furs in Canada, there is no one else that even comes close to having as much experience. When it comes to industry expertise, Carino is a leader.
Our flagship facility in Dildo has been a hub for the annual harvest for over 50 years. In this time, it has evolved into a modern operation producing essential omega 3 oil, meat, and textiles. Today, the South Dildo location serves as an intake point for the majority of landings made by professional seal harvesters throughout Eastern Canada.
All of our products are produced in a rural community, employing local people, in South Dildo, Newfoundland and Labrador.
Materials are purchased directly from professional local harvesters whose knowledge and experience have been passed down through generations. When you buy Carino products, you are sourcing from and supporting small coastal communities and an ethical and sustainable industry.
Carino’s production process has been developed to allow the incredible natural benefits of seal to be fully derived from seal. It takes specialized training and equipment to operate our modern oil refinery, dressing and dyeing factory, and meatpacking facilities. Carino is fully licensed by Canadian provincial and federal authorities to achieve the best standards of production.
Seal oil supplements are tested for purity, safety, and levels of DHA, DPA, and EPA. Carino Omega 3 oil meets or exceeds Health Canada and World Health Organization’s standards for heavy metals, PCBs, and other environmental toxins.
