Our Story

Prosalud Pet specializes in the sourcing and packaging of tuna and other wild-caught fish from the Pacific Ocean. Our fishing partners, processing facilities and offices are located in Costa Rica, and we currently export our products to 27 countries throughout Central and South America, Europe and North America. 

Building on 50 years of expertise in the seafood industry, our pet division leverages the manufacturing capabilities within our food grade facilities. Prosalud Pet offers a full range of high-quality pet food and treats made from premium animal proteins, grains, fruits and vegetables. Our dedicated in-house team is capable of developing new product formulas and packaging options for leading private labels brands.

At Prosalud Pet, we are passionate about environmental sustainability while maintaining the highest quality standards. Tuna is the heart of everything we do, beginning with the fishing fleets all the way to our state-of-the art food processing facilities. Because we are vertically integrated, we can control all sustainability and quality measures throughout the entire supply chain – from the ocean to the end consumer.

We live by the term “Pura Vida,” which simply translated, means “pure life”, but here in Costa Rica, it is more than just a saying – it is a way of life.

We’ve developed a line of products that are competitive with the current top dog and cat food brands. They are ready for private label, each with product specifications and samples. This allows for the quick activation of new products to your existing line or to create a new product line. 

Let’s team up and see what premium pet products we can develop together!

At Prosalud Pet, our product development team is committed to delivering unique and innovative pet nutrition products for dogs and cats. For our tuna and other seafood products, we work with some of the largest retailers in the United States and Central America, delivering a consistent product every time. 

We offer you and your team access to our world class sourcing, manufacturing, and processing capabilities in your brand and label. Real protein is the first ingredient: responsibly harvested seafood and other proteins, processed in a human grade BRC certified facility.

Consumers care about the food they feed their pets. With our sustainability certifications and product development capabilities, we can develop products that meet and exceed the most discerning pet owner. 

More importantly, because of our scale and years of experience, we can meet aggressive price points to ensure our high-quality products are sold at competitive prices. This gives our customers the ability to succeed on the retail shelf and online without sacrificing the quality of ingredients.

We love our planet and are fully committed to the health and wellbeing of our main resource, the Pacific Ocean. Our tuna processing plant is Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)-certified. MSC is the leading scientific standard for sustainable fisheries and fishing practices, and we can process products that display this certification on all our pet products.

The MSC Fisheries Standard assesses if a processing plant is well-managed and sustainable. The Standard reflects the most current understanding of internationally accepted fish processing plant science and management. When a fishery is successfully certified to the fisheries standard, its certified catch can be sold with the blue MSC label in products that contain a high percentage of tuna.

We are proud members of the International Pole & Line Foundation (IPNLF), which promotes the sustainable management of the world’s responsible pole-and-line, handline and troll (collectively known as ‘one-by-one’) tuna fisheries while also recognizing the importance of safeguarding the fishing communities they support.

In addition to MSC, Alimentos Prosalud is also a member of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), which is the secretariat for the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program (AIDCP), and the Pacific Tuna Alliance. Alimentos Prosalud and these organizations are committed to a range of sustainable and responsible fishery practices, including dolphin conservation, and reducing bycatch by managing the use of fish aggregating devices.
