GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., strategically headquartered in Rizhao, Shandong Province, stands as a premier enterprise specializing in the industrial R&D, advanced manufacturing, and global exportation of top-tier freeze-dried pet food. For over a decade, our scientific approach to canine and feline nutrition has driven us to establish an elite manufacturing framework designed to address the complex requirements of pet owners, international distributors, and global pet specialty brands.
As a dedicated B2B manufacturing partner, we operate under a strict non-compete model. We do not promote a private brand in retail spaces; instead, our entire facility—from our research laboratories to our massive processing floors—is directed toward empowering OEM and ODM partners globally. This ensures complete confidentiality, market protection, and custom manufacturing excellence.
Why organ meats processed via sub-zero sublimation offer unparalleled biological value for canines.
Chicken liver is historically recognized as a nutritional powerhouse. Our low-temperature processing locks in retinol (Vitamin A), essential for canine visual health, immune function, and cellular development. Furthermore, the heme iron content remains organic and highly absorbable, fighting anemia and supporting active metabolism in working breeds.
Standard heat dehydration collapses protein fibers and oxidizes vital lipids. GAGA's vacuum lyophilization process flash-freezes the raw organ meat at -40°C, then reduces atmospheric pressure to transition water molecules directly from ice to vapor. This sublimation retains the shape, airy texture, and volatile aroma compounds that drive intense palatability.
By achieving an ultra-low moisture level of < 3% and keeping water activity ($a_w$) below 0.6, we naturally prevent the growth of molds, yeasts, and pathogenic bacteria. This guarantees a stable, preservative-free shelf life of up to 24 months, satisfying global distribution and warehouse safety criteria.
Traditional rendering and air-drying methods degrade up to 60% of Vitamin B12 and folate found in raw liver. Through our precision sublimation cycles, GAGA Pet Food achieves a 98% nutritional preservation rate, matching the nutritional profile of raw organ meat without the corresponding microbiological risks.
| Nutrient Component | Guaranteed Analysis (Raw Liver Equivalent) | Freeze-Dried Target Levels (Moisture < 3%) | Primary Biological Benefit for Dogs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crude Protein | Min 60.0% | 65.5% | Muscle development and tissue repair |
| Crude Fat | Min 10.0% | 12.8% | Cell membrane integrity & energy production |
| Crude Fiber | Max 1.5% | 0.5% | Highly digestible, zero gastrointestinal load |
| Moisture | Max 5.0% | 2.8% | Prevents microbial colonization without preservatives |
| Vitamin A | Min 15,000 IU/kg | 18,200 IU/kg | Ocular health, skin, and coat rejuvenation |
Our operations in Rizhao, Shandong run six advanced vacuum freeze-drying chambers. By combining state-of-the-art heating and cooling technology with automated material handling systems, we can process 4,000 kilograms of raw materials daily. This massive output allows us to build a highly stable and efficient core supply chain for international partners.
We pride ourselves on dynamic production scheduling. Supported by over 20 professional technical personnel and an independent R&D wing, we provide high responsiveness. Once client parameters are set, our prototyping cell can finalize samples within 10 days, shortening the concept-to-market timeline significantly.
Whether you require single-ingredient freeze-dried liver, complex liver-based compound treats, or vitamin-enriched powders, our facility is engineered to deliver consistent quality across bulk containers.
The convergence of China's agricultural production belt and advanced marine shipping infrastructure.
Shandong Province is the largest agricultural and poultry hub in China. This raw material proximity allows us to transport fresh, human-grade chicken liver directly from audited, state-licensed facilities to our freezing lines within hours. This maintains high nutritional integrity and low raw-material volatile bases.
Located in Rizhao, GAGA is near major deepwater ports including Rizhao Port and Qingdao Port. This allows for rapid sea freight container loading, streamlined export customs processing, and predictable ocean transit times to major destination markets in North America, Europe, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
Our large-scale production capacities and highly integrated local packaging supplies yield strong economy of scale. Our partners receive premium, export-compliant products at highly competitive pricing, increasing margins for private label brands.
Our core range includes freeze-dried chicken, duck, cod, and vegetables. Each product delivers high palatability and clean ingredient profiles.
Our core philosophy, "Natural, Healthy, Delicious", guides our strict quality controls. We source clean, human-grade raw ingredients and run systematic testing from intake to processing and distribution.
We provide full service support for our global partners. This covers recipe formulation, shape and size modifications (including cubes, granules, powders, and custom molds), and packaging design. We support retail-ready formats, stand-up pouches, plastic jars, vacuum bags, and bulk cartons.
Through our established packaging network, we source eco-friendly, high-barrier bags that block oxygen and light, maintaining product freshness without chemical preservatives.
International pet food markets require rigorous regulatory compliance. GAGA is registered with the FDA, and maintains certified quality management systems to export to the USA, Korea, Southeast Asia, and many other markets.
We perform strict microbial testing on every batch. Each shipment includes full documentation (Health Certificate, Certificate of Origin, Ingredient Declarations) to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
Adapting physical formats and ingredient blends to target consumer segments and regional preferences.
Specifically formulated for dogs and cats, as well as small animals including rabbits, hamsters, and selected exotic pets.
Single pure meats, mixed protein recipes (e.g., chicken liver + egg yolk), grain-free options, and meat-plus-vegetable combinations.
Available as uniform cubes, round patties, fine raw dust powders, whole muscle strips, or customized mold designs.
Offered in nitrogen-flushed food-grade pouches, vacuum bags, plastic canisters, or bulk lined shipping boxes.

Answers to common questions from global procurement officers and brand managers.
Our freeze-dried chicken liver treats have a shelf life of 18 to 24 months. Because our freeze-drying process keeps moisture below 3% and water activity (aw) under 0.6, the product remains stable without artificial preservatives, provided it is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Our standard MOQ for custom packaging bags runs between 5,000 and 10,000 bags, depending on pouch styling, material choices, and dimensions. For bulk carton shipping without retail packaging, we offer lower MOQ requirements. Please contact our sales team to discuss details.
We follow strict HACCP controls. All fresh raw livers come from vetted poultry suppliers. After dicing and freeze-drying, we test every production lot for pathogens using certified third-party testing laboratories before releasing the cargo for export.
Yes. GAGA Pet Food is FDA registered and works closely with local customs authorities to issue official veterinary health certificates, non-GMO statements, and certificates of origin required for entry into international ports.
Yes, we do. Our R&D laboratory helps develop custom formulations. We can blend chicken liver with functional ingredients like salmon oil, probiotics, kelp powder, or taurine, and process them into custom shapes like small star bites or heart tablets.
