Explore our elite range of freeze-dried single-ingredient and custom formula treats, engineered for peak palatability and nutritional integrity.
In the global pet treat industry, freeze-drying (lyophilization) has emerged as the gold standard of preservation. By freezing fresh meats down to below -35°C and placing them under high vacuum pressure, ice crystals transition directly into vapor (sublimation). This advanced thermodynamic process retains 97% of the original nutritional properties, enzymes, and structural shape of raw meat without the need for artificial chemical preservatives.
Why Source from China, specifically Rizhao, Shandong? Shandong Province is the absolute heart of the global agricultural and poultry processing supply chains. The geographical proximity of our facilities to massive, strictly-audited livestock and poultry farms ensures zero-lag transportation. Raw meats are transferred to our vacuum chambers in their freshest state, minimizing bacterial proliferation and ensuring exceptionally low pre-processing microbial counts.
Furthermore, Chinese manufacturers offer unmatched manufacturing economies of scale. High-throughput machinery combined with skilled process technicians allows GAGA Pet Food to offer institutional buyers and private labels premium, human-grade freeze-dried cat treats at unit costs that cannot be matched in Western markets, without sacrificing international food safety standards.
GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., situated in Rizhao, Shandong, brings over ten years of deep manufacturing, R&D, and export expertise directly to your brand.
Unlike other manufacturers who operate proprietary retail labels, GAGA Pet Food does not run a consumer-facing brand. We operate exclusively as a contract manufacturer (B2B OEM/ODM partner). This fundamental business decision guarantees that we never compete against our clients on retail shelves or e-commerce marketplaces. Our entire focus remains on enhancing your product's performance, optimizing your supply chain margins, and executing absolute confidentiality regarding custom formulations and proprietary packaging designs.

Our raw meats are frozen to a core temperature of -35°C to -40°C in less than 2 hours to avoid large ice crystal formation, which protects cell walls. Sublimation occurs inside vacuum chambers under pressures below 100 Pa, with shelf temperatures carefully regulated from sub-zero up to +60°C. This dual-phase drying ensures the residual moisture content of the finished cat treats is strictly below 6.0%, preventing bacterial action while keeping nutrients completely shelf-stable.
We work exclusively with local Shandong farms and poultry suppliers that hold official government animal inspection certificates. Every incoming batch of meat is recorded with supplier codes, arrival dates, testing results, and production batch mappings, creating a continuous chain of custody. This ensures full backward traceability, allowing us to trace any single bag of cat treats back to the originating farm.
Yes, we have high-precision cutting and molding machinery that can shape meat mixtures into cubes, hearts, stars, flat patties, powder formats, or bone strips. Custom mold development can be requested to create unique treat designs for your brand identity.
We pack in high-barrier stand-up pouches (PET/AL/PE or matte finishes), plastic jars, and vacuum-sealed bulk cartons. To prevent oxidation of fats, we flush our packaging with food-grade nitrogen gas and insert oxygen-absorbing packets. Under these conditions, the shelf life of our freeze-dried cat treats is guaranteed at 18 to 24 months, stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
