Introduction
In pet nutrition — especially when you’re choosing omega-3 rich fish oils — what’s inside the bottle matters a lot. But equally important is how the oil gets from ocean to bottle.
At PawFond, we believe in purity, transparency, and traceability. That’s why we use fish oil verified by ORIVO — a third-party verification system that confirms species, origin, and oil authenticity.
In this article, we explore why traceability and third-party verification are essential, what ORIVO does (and doesn’t), and how this helps safeguard your pet’s health.
What Is ORIVO — And Why We Use It
- ORIVO is a verification technology/service that uses isotope fingerprinting & origin verification to confirm that fish oil truly comes from the declared fish species (e.g. wild-caught Alaska fish), in the declared geographic region, and not adulterated or mixed with lower-quality oils.
- This kind of traceability is important because the global fish-oil supply chain is complex, and there have been documented issues with mislabeling, contamination, or substitution.
By using ORIVO-verified oil, PawFond ensures:
- Correct fish species (no cheap substitutes)
- Transparency of origin (wild Alaskan fish)
- Purity and consistency (less risk of contamination or adulteration)
Why Traceability & Purity Matter — From a Scientific & Health Perspective
Even if a fish oil is labeled “omega-3 rich,” without proper verification, there are several potential risks:
- Species / Source Mislabeling — Some oils may come from lower-quality or farmed fish, whose contaminant profiles (e.g. heavy metals, PCBs) may be higher. Scientific studies have shown that wild-caught fish from cleaner waters tend to have lower contaminant levels and more favorable omega-3 profiles.
- Contaminants & Oxidation — Fish oils are vulnerable to oxidation and contamination. Without strict control and verification, the final product may have reduced efficacy or harmful by-products (peroxidation, degraded fatty acids). Research in nutritional science highlights that oxidized oils lose benefit and may even harm health.
- Consistency & Accountability — Pet nutrition (especially long-term supplementation) demands consistency. Verification and traceability allow accountability if issues arise, and help maintain high quality over time.
Limitations: What ORIVO Verification Doesn’t Guarantee (and Why That’s OK)
It’s important to understand that ORIVO is not a clinical research institution. It does not guarantee specific health outcomes, nor does it perform clinical trials.
What it does guarantee is raw-material authenticity, purity, and traceability — a critical foundation.
Therefore, ORIVO must be paired with scientific evidence about fatty acids, nutritional benefits, and proper formulation. PawFond’s approach combines ORIVO-verified oil with formulas grounded in peer-reviewed research (e.g. omega-3 & GLA benefits) — giving you both supply-chain integrity + nutritional science.
Why We Believe ORIVO + Research-Backed Formula Is the Best Path for PawFond
- Transparency for pet parents — You see where the oil comes from, and you can trust it’s real.
- Lower risk of contamination or mislabeling — essential for pets, especially those with sensitivities or chronic conditions.
- Scientific integrity — Our product isn’t just about omega-3 content; it leverages research-backed ingredients and formulations, ensuring every element supports real wellness.
-
Long-term trust & credibility — As a brand built on “business with soul,” we refuse shortcuts. Traceability and quality are non-negotiable.
Conclusion: Real Wellness Begins With Real Traceability
In a world where “omega-3” and “superfood oil” are marketing buzzwords, traceability and verification systems like ORIVO help separate substance from hype.
For PawFond, using ORIVO isn’t just a marketing claim — it’s a commitment to honesty, integrity, and your pet’s real health.
