A true "Canadian Original", our family developed the first shark cartilage products in Canada exclusively for pets, in 1993. We have continued to research and develop other "treasures from the sea", along with some important "gems" from the earth. As our initial brand name *ESPERANZA ~Fine Pet Products~™ implies, our MISSION is to give hope to pets and their owners, by providing them with a natural, high-quality alternative to better health. A second brand, OCEAN TREASURES .. For Pets..™ has been established as a premium line of top marine products. Environmentally conscious, we use shark that is not endangered or overfished, but is used in co-operation with the human seafood industry. |

Our basic philosophy is that animals be cared for in a natural way with products derived from natural substances of land and sea, in a manner that imparts no harmful toxins or side effects. It is also important that the delivery systems of these products be nutritious and non-allergenic. They provide complete, balanced nutritional supplements that not only assist in healing many common health conditions in pets, but also work to keep them healthy! |

It is interesting to note that the health and longevity of our pets has declined over the years. It is to this concern, that Sea Quest International has spent time and research to find ways from nature to help prevent illnesses from occurring, and to provide natural products to alleviate them when they do occur. Today, when we consider the poor level of our health and that of our pets', there seems to be a common denominator. Simply, this may be due to commercially created foods, resulting in humans and pets not receiving the optimum level of nutrients that provide healthy lives. As C.J. Puotinen says in "The Encyclopaedia of Natural Pet Care": "There is no doubt that commercial pet foods sustain life. Dogs, cats and other animals live for years on foods that come out of bags, cans and boxes. But do these foods promote health? If they did, our companion animals would enjoy long, happy lives free of arthritis, hip dysplasia, eye problems, ear problems, fleas and other parasites, gum disease, thyroid imbalances, skin and coat problems, personality disorders, birth defects, breeding problems, diabetes, cancer and other major and minor illnesses." "Before World War Two, most Americans fed their pets raw bones and table scraps. Today, everyone uses convenience foods, and pet companies are industry giants. Diet isn't the only thing that has changed. So has life expectancy, with the life span of many breeds now less than half what it was two or three decades ago. Skin and coat problems are so common that we accept them as unavoid- able; and today's veterinarians routinely treat conditions that used to be unusual or even rare." Sea Quest International believes there is still hope for our pets' health, and that's why we developed Esperanza ... Fine Pet Products ...™. We continue to be in "Quest" of new products from the sea and some herbs from the land that may have powerful synergistic effects when combined with them. We also continue to find new ways to deliver these amazing products, made especially for your pets. To this end, our new brand, Ocean Treasures ~ For Pets ~™ is also now available. |
