Discover our scientifically preserved, single-ingredient and custom compound pet treats, engineered to lock in raw cellular structures and critical nutrients.
GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., located in Rizhao, Shandong Province, is a premier professional manufacturer specialising in high-quality freeze-dried pet food with more than ten years of dedicated experience in research and development, production and sales. For over a decade, we have focused on creating premium freeze-dried products that meet the highest international standards of nutrition, safety and palatability for pets worldwide.
Our mission centers on the philosophy of "Natural, Healthy, Delicious". Utilizing advanced freeze-drying (lyophilization) protocols, we sublimate ice directly to vapor, ensuring the raw food's cellular and nutrient structures remain completely intact. Unlike traditional high-heat extrusion methods, this process retains 98% of natural proteins, amino acids, and essential enzymes without the need for artificial binders, fillers, or chemical preservatives.
The global shift toward high-protein, clean-label diets has positioned China as the leading hub for freeze-dried pet food production. Underpinned by industrial scaling, geographical raw material dominance, and unmatched manufacturing infrastructure.
Our strategic location in Shandong Province—the largest agricultural and poultry production center in China—grants us immediate access to premium human-grade poultry, beef, and seafood. This local proximity slashes cross-provincial transit time, locking in freshness.
Operating 6 advanced vacuum freeze-drying lines, our facility integrates high-precision heat-exchange systems and cold traps. We run multi-stage sublimation processes that preserve meat texture, prevent structural collapse, and achieve uniform moisture removal below 2%.
Our proximity to Rizhao Port and Qingdao Port allows for rapid customs entry and container loading. The freeze-drying process decreases finished product weight by up to 80% compared to fresh meat, resulting in drastic ocean freight savings and stable shipping terms.
We operate six advanced vacuum freeze-drying production lines, with a daily production capacity of up to 4,000 kilograms, allowing us to build a stable and efficient core supply chain for freeze-dried pet treats. Our team consists of more than 20 professional technical personnel, supported by an independent product research and development department.
We specialise in customised solutions, offering a highly responsive service that can complete the entire process—from receiving samples and discussing detailed requirements to producing finished samples—in as little as 10 days. This flexibility enables us to meet diverse market demands and support our partners effectively.
At present, we provide more than 50 best-selling pet treat products, with our core range including freeze-dried chicken, freeze-dried duck, freeze-dried cod and freeze-dried vegetables. Our extensive product portfolio ensures consistent quality, rich nutrition and excellent taste, making them popular among pet owners and distributors alike.
Human-grade, muscle meat rich in lean protein and vital amino acids for active cats.
Hypoallergenic and cool protein source, ideal for cats with sensitive digestive tracts.
Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) for optimal coat shine and cardiovascular support.
Fiber-rich, low-calorie additions for optimal gut function and moisture balance.
Our main business covers wholesale and custom processing of freeze-dried pet food, and we provide professional one-stop ODM and OEM services. All our products are made using human-grade raw materials, guided by our core philosophy: “Natural, Healthy, Delicious”.
We implement strict quality control at every stage, from raw material selection and production processing to final inspection and delivery, ensuring stable product quality and reliable on-time delivery for every partner.
With extensive experience in international trade, our company is FDA certified and exports to markets including the United States, South Korea, Southeast Asia and many other regions. Thanks to our reliable quality, professional service and consistent supply capacity, we have earned wide recognition and positive feedback from customers at home and abroad.

The fundamental science of freeze-drying (lyophilization) is centered on the thermodynamic process of sublimation. By transitioning water directly from a solid ice phase to a gaseous vapor phase under deep vacuum conditions, we completely bypass the liquid phase.
Unlike conventional air-drying or heat-extrusion techniques that boil out moisture, freeze-drying leaves the cellular matrix of the raw meat completely intact. Heat-sensitive vitamins, minerals, and bioactive proteins are preserved. The resulting product is characterized by high porosity, which yields rapid rehydration when exposed to liquid.
From an analytical standpoint, freeze-dried treats achieve a water activity level ($a_w$) below 0.6. This low moisture content acts as a natural barrier to microbial growth, giving our treats a shelf life of up to 24 months without any synthetic preservatives.
Our core manufacturing capabilities are optimized for bulk brand operations, ensuring clean-label formulations with robust quality assurance.
Over 100 varieties of freeze-dried pet food to meet diverse market demands.
Annual output of 2,000 metric tons ensures steady and bulk supply.

The international pet food sector is undergoing a massive shift toward naturalization and protein source specialization. Pet owners are increasingly treating their pets like family, driving demand for clean-label treats. Freeze-dried products align with this demand, as they require no artificial preservatives or starches to maintain their structure.
Hypoallergenic formulas focusing on single protein sources (such as 100% duck or 100% cod) are seeing rapid growth due to the rising prevalence of food allergies in domestic pets.
Brands are finding success by blending raw freeze-dried meat with functional ingredients, such as goat milk, egg yolk, pumpkin, or cat grass, to support digestion, joint health, and coat quality.
With fluctuating ocean freight rates, buyers prioritize factories that can scale production quickly and offer flexible container packing. Having a stable manufacturing partner in Shandong ensures a consistent supply.
