Explore our top-tier, nutrient-rich freeze-dried treats crafted specifically for cats, dogs, and exotic pets worldwide.
GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., strategically headquartered in Rizhao, Shandong Province, stands as a premier global enterprise specializing exclusively in the research, development, formulation, and commercial-scale production of high-nutrition freeze-dried pet food and treats.
With more than ten years of dedicated experience in the international export and OEM/ODM sectors, our state-of-the-art facility adheres strictly to the highest standards of safety, quality, and palatability. By utilising 100% human-grade raw materials, we process, freeze, and sublimate nutrients to lock in taste and health benefits without using preservatives or synthetic additives.
We pride ourselves on offering full-scope manufacturing agility—transforming raw concepts into shelf-ready retail packaging while keeping customer intellectual property completely secure under our strict B2B non-compete model.
Located in the coastal agricultural and aquaculture hub of Shandong, our factory operates with unmatched proximity to sustainable raw material chains. This allows us to secure fresh, cold-chain chicken, beef, duck, egg yolks, and marine catches (such as cod, anchovy, and shrimp) within hours of harvest.
We operate six automated vacuum freeze-drying production lines, utilizing computerized temperature curves to preserve proteins, vitamins, and natural enzymes at their peak levels. With an annual capacity of 2,000 metric tons and a daily output of 4,000 kilograms, we guarantee reliable bulk supply and zero supply disruptions for global private labels.
Our infrastructure is designed for extreme agility. We solve one of the most critical pain points for modern pet food importers: the balance between high order volume efficiency and customized flexibility. Below are our key operational parameters:
| Parameter | Capabilities & Value |
|---|---|
| Moisture Content | < 3% for optimal microbial stability & shelf-life |
| Raw Materials | 100% human-grade meat, single or mixed proteins |
| Rehydration Rate | Highly porous cellular structure, reconstitutes in under 60s |
| Pathogen Control | Strict thermal control & high-precision cleanrooms |
| OEM/ODM Capacity | Custom shapes, customized nutrient coating, prebiotics injection |
How our advanced freeze-drying (lyophilization) process guarantees raw nutritional integrity and biological safety.
We flash-freeze raw ingredients at -35°C to -40°C to lock in cell structures. Using controlled heat under high vacuum (sublimation), moisture escapes as vapor without entering a liquid state, preserving the natural shape, color, and nutritional profile of the meat.
We are pioneering the integration of thermally sensitive functional elements. Our R&D team successfully encapsulates probiotics and custom enzymes on raw protein surfaces post-freeze drying, maintaining maximum survivability through the digestive tract.
In line with green manufacturing trends, our energy-efficient condensers and smart heating plates reduce electricity consumption by up to 22% compared to traditional lyophilizers, contributing to carbon reduction goals for global brand partners.
Diverse shapes, flavors, and nutritional formulations engineered to fit every demographic of global pet markets.
Tailored to Your Target Audience
Our solutions cater directly to two key purchasing groups: importers building new brands and seasoned pet food distributors requiring highly customized product portfolios.
We produce standard cubes, round patties, whole strips, granules, powders, and custom configurations tailored for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and exotic pets (such as reptiles and birds).
All recipes are grain-free, clean-label, and can be customized with functional additions such as green-lipped mussel, salmon oil, cat grass, or goat milk. We specialize in single-ingredient pure meats (chicken, duck, beef, cod, shrimp, anchovy) and complex raw formulas.
Our products serve multiple functions across domestic and international markets, from premium meal mixers to specialized functional treats.
Our commitment to pet food safety is verified by global third-party inspectors. We guarantee full export compliance for North America, Europe, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
At GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., we implement robust Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs and maintain ISO certification. From chemical and biological testing of incoming raw materials to final X-ray inspection of sealed packaging, every batch of freeze-dried products is fully traceable.
Our facility is registered with the FDA. We work closely with government inspectors to complete customs paperwork, phytosanitary declarations, and microbiological tests, ensuring hassle-free clearance at destination ports.
A professional, end-to-end management pipeline designed to bring your pet food concept to the global market efficiently.
We clarify your target audience, recipe profiles, raw material requirements, and compliance parameters to ensure complete alignment from day one.
Our R&D department creates balanced recipes, adjusting moisture levels and functional ingredients to meet AAFCO or FEDIAF profiles.
We recommend, source, or manufacture custom bags, plastic jars, flat pouches, or bulk shippers, ensuring barriers keep products crisp.
Within 10 days, we deliver custom physical samples to your laboratory for visual inspection, texture analysis, and taste trials.
Once the sample is approved, we start bulk freeze-drying, maintaining strict process controls across our six manufacturing lines.
Every batch undergoes strict testing, including water activity checks, metal detection, and microbiological screenings for Salmonella and Listeria.
We handle custom export packaging and work with reliable ocean, air, or rail carriers to ensure safe and on-time shipment to your warehouse.
We provide ongoing market support, track container arrivals, and assist with product line updates based on seasonal customer demand.
For large pet product brands, retail chains, and distributors, finding a manufacturing partner in China requires balancing cost, quality, and business integrity.
At GAGA Pet Food, we do not operate our own retail brand. We focus entirely on B2B manufacturing (OEM/ODM). This commitment ensures we never compete with our clients in their local markets, keeping your business strategies, recipes, and custom designs completely protected.
With an annual capacity of 2,000 metric tons, we support massive supply scaling while keeping minimum order quantities flexible enough to accommodate experimental product launches and flavor updates.
