Premium single-ingredient freeze-dried meats and custom formula cakes produced under strict ISO & HACCP guidelines.
GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., located in Rizhao, Shandong Province, is a 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.
By relying on regional agricultural advantages in Shandong, we secure top-grade, human-grade raw protein sources direct from domestic farms. Our manufacturing lines run under strictly monitored vacuum conditions to bypass intermediate oxidation, preserving natural vitamins, enzymes, and essential trace nutrients.
Harnessing automated thermal profiling and vacuum sublimation to ensure large-scale, uniform moisture extraction.
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.
Traditional high-heat dehydration methods degrade structural proteins and denature primary vitamins. GAGA Pet Food uses a thermal-gradient sublimation curve that maintains raw cellular matrices. The result is a pet treat with rapid rehydration traits, porous visual density, and clean organoleptic qualities preferred by global brands.

Our commitment to continuous technological development shapes the future of premium freeze-dried pet nutrition.
By employing intelligent pressure sensors inside our vacuum chambers, we dynamically adjust temperature profiles between -45°C and +40°C. This guarantees that internal ice crystals transition directly to gas without collapsing the raw cellular shape, preserving vital amino acid chains.
Our futuristic product roadmap includes post-lyophilization micro-spraying technology. This allows the integration of live thermal-sensitive probiotics (such as *Lactobacillus*) directly into the porous cavities of freeze-dried duck and chicken, boosting intestinal health.
We are actively testing thermal recovery pumps that capture the heat expelled during vacuum generation and recycle it to warm up the sublimation shelves. This reduces the energy consumption of freeze-drying operations by 20% while maintaining process speed.
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 breast meat high in lean protein, low in fat. Excellent training treat.
Hypoallergenic source of high digestibility protein, highly suitable for pets with sensitive skin.
Rich in natural Omega-3 fatty acids to encourage healthy skin coat and joints.

No matter the size of your brand, our customizable supply chains and R&D support help secure your market presence.
We provide a low-friction entry point for newer pet brands. By supporting mixed wholesaling and offering immediate access to ready-to-label freeze-dried raw stocks, we help minimize inventory investment. We also supply raw data sheets, marketing materials, and high-quality photography at no cost.
For established entities, our dedicated R&D laboratory designs proprietary formulations. From specific organ meat percentages to targeted function claims (such as digestive health or urinary care), we optimize texture, taste, and rehydration speeds inside our test kitchens, completing full product batches in 15-30 days.
Our advanced capability allows us to process functional recipes containing unique ingredients like goat milk powders, spinach, quail egg yolks, or organic probiotics. We focus heavily on density control, ensuring that clinical diets or dental chews remain intact during transit but rehydrate perfectly inside a pet's dish.
All our products are made using human-grade raw materials, guided by our core philosophy: “Natural, Healthy, Delicious”.
Perfect for kittens, puppies, and older pets, our unique freeze-drying method results in treats that absorb warm water rapidly. They transform from a crisp snack into soft, juicy, easy-to-digest meat pieces in seconds, preserving raw flavors.
Our freeze-dried granules and powders are designed to sit perfectly on top of dry kibble or wet food. They act as natural flavor enhancers, making dry meals appetizing for selective eaters while providing a clean boost of natural vitamins.
By locking down internal moisture levels to below 3% under -40°C blast-freezing, we prevent shrinkage and protect cellular integrity. The final treats retain their rich natural color and distinct shape, minimizing shipping dust and waste.
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.

Common questions from distributors, brand buyers, and procurement specialists regarding freeze-dried pet food production.
Freeze-drying occurs via sublimation under high vacuum. Because the food is frozen first, it retains its cellular shape, raw protein structures, and nutritional enzymes. Hot-air drying uses heat, which can denature proteins, degrade vitamins, and result in a harder texture that is difficult to chew and digest.
For custom OEM and ODM formulas, our MOQ typically ranges from 500kg to 1,000kg per recipe, depending on the complexity of the ingredients and packaging style. For items in stock, we offer lower minimum limits to support emerging brands.
We manage raw material safety through strict sourcing, controlled processing, and thermal parameters. If requested by clients, we also assist with coordinating HPP (High-Pressure Processing) for raw ingredients to eliminate pathogens before drying, ensuring a safe end-product.
When stored in an airtight, moisture-barrier packaging in a cool, dry place, our freeze-dried treats have an average shelf life of 18 to 24 months. The low moisture level (typically under 3%) keeps the product stable naturally without chemical preservatives.
Yes, we can. Using our specialized mold and extrusion facilities, we produce customized shapes, multi-layer cakes, and compound treats (such as chicken sticks combined with goat milk centers) to help brands stand out.
