How our Rizhao facility leverages geography, raw material control, and automated technology to deliver unbeatable quality and price consistency.
Rizhao, Shandong Province is a renowned hub for agriculture and marine capture. Being located at the heart of this region allows us to source fresh meats, seafood, and poultry directly from certified local farms within a 2-hour radius. We prioritize fresh, never-frozen raw meats to preserve cellular integrity before sublimation.
Our Factory 4.0 standard features fully-enclosed dust-free cleanrooms matching pharmaceutical standards. Through computerized control panels, drying parameters like vacuum levels (down to 10 Pa) and heating temperatures are dynamically regulated. This optimization achieves the target water activity (Aw) of < 0.05, keeping our products naturally shelf-stable for up to 18-24 months.
Unlike other manufacturers who maintain their own local brands and compete with their partners, GAGA Pet Food remains 100% committed to business-to-business manufacturing services. We do not sell retail. All R&D efforts, production capacity, and manufacturing capabilities are dedicated to helping our OEM/ODM brand partners thrive globally.
"By specializing entirely in OEM and ODM services, we eliminate channel conflicts. Your proprietary formulas, recipes, and custom sizes remain protected under strict confidentiality protocols. Our annual capacity of over 2,000 metric tons guarantees that as your brand scales up in regional markets, our production matches your growth rhythm seamlessly."
This commitment to raw material control and automated engineering results in freeze-dried pet treats with consistent texture, shape integrity, and minimum crumbs or dust. Our clients in North America, Europe, and Asia benefit from a highly optimized supply chain that delivers cost advantages without sacrificing nutrition.
Our commitment to processing technologies that protect micronutrients, cellular structures, and sensory attributes.
Raw ingredients undergo rapid blast freezing to below -40°C. This promotes the formation of tiny, uniform ice crystals, preserving the delicate meat proteins and preventing cell rupture. Essential nutrients like taurine, vitamins, and minerals remain biologically active and intact.
Our freeze-drying chambers introduce controlled heat energy within a deep vacuum space. The solid ice within the meat matrix transitions directly into vapor without liquefying, extracting more than 95% of moisture while leaving the structural scaffolding of the meat unaffected.
To satisfy international export standards, we incorporate critical control processes. High-pressure processing (HPP) or custom temperature profiles are applied to raw proteins before freeze-drying. This controls pathogens like Salmonella and Listeria without reducing the nutritional value of the proteins.
The Future Outlook: Our R&D is currently developing advanced symbiotic formulas (incorporating micro-encapsulated probiotics and prebiotics that survive the freeze-drying process) and targeted nutritional diets (renal care, digestive support, skin/coat defense) to support brands offering wellness-focused pet treats.
Made from selected human-grade raw materials and processed through our standard vacuum system. Available for bulk ordering and customization.
100% Pure Chicken Breast. High protein, low fat, and easy digestion.
Novel protein source, perfect for sensitive stomachs and hypoallergenic formulas.

We track market feedback with you, recommending recipe adaptations to align with changing regulatory and consumer trends.
Demonstrating how consumers utilize freeze-dried pet food to optimize daily feline and canine diet regimes.
Ideal for kittens, puppies, and senior pets with sensitive dentition. Adding warm water (1:3 ratio) for 2-3 minutes returns the freeze-dried meat to its original moist state, enhancing aroma and flavor for pets with poor appetites.
Pet owners can crumble our freeze-dried chicken breast, cod cubes, or beef liver powder over standard dry kibble. This provides a natural boost of high-quality animal protein and taurine without synthetic additives.
How our internal lab monitors quality control parameters to meet strict global import requirements.
We maintain strict quality control at every stage, from raw material selection to processing, packaging, and final export. Our production facilities are fully compliant with HACCP and ISO international standards, allowing us to maintain a consistent level of quality across all batches.
Our quality control program verifies key parameters for every batch, including: moisture content, water activity, microbiological limits (Salmonella, E. coli, mold), and nutrient levels (minimum crude protein, maximum crude fat).
Our team works closely with independent testing laboratories to provide official analysis reports (COA) for customs clearance and brand assurance.
Strategic answers targeting common queries from import managers, brand owners, and logistics directors.
For custom packaging designs and unique formulations, our typical MOQ starts at 500 kg per SKU. However, for initial market tests or brands using our in-stock wholesale items, we support smaller test batches. Please contact our sales team to discuss customized options that match your current business stage.
We utilize a multi-barrier safety system. Raw meats are sourced from certified farms and stored under temperature-controlled conditions. During processing, we run a validated pathogen reduction step. Finished products undergo strict microbiological screening in our testing lab to ensure they are free from Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria before leaving the factory.
Our manufacturing plant holds active registrations with the FDA and complies with HACCP, ISO 22000, and ISO 9001 standards. We supply all required export documentation, including Health Certificates, Certificates of Origin, and Certificates of Analysis (COA), ensuring a smooth import process for your brand.
