GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., located in Rizhao, Shandong Province, is a premier manufacturer specializing 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.
We are strictly a B2B manufacturer: we focus purely on manufacturing and do not operate our own brand. We only provide professional OEM & ODM customization and production services. By fully concentrating on production quality and craftsmanship, we avoid market competition with our clients and fully protect the core interests of all partnering brands.
The global freeze-dried pet treat market size is expanding at a projected CAGR of over 10.5% through 2030. Consumers are driving premiumization, shifting away from heavily processed kibble towards raw, nutrient-rich diets that retain raw biological components. Puppies, with their developing immune and digestive systems, benefit the most from lyophilized nutrition.
Modern pet owners demand complete ingredient transparency. Single-ingredient formulations, such as 100% pure cod or freeze-dried chicken breast, eliminate risks of allergy triggers. Manufacturers in China, like GAGA Pet Food, utilize raw, traceable materials, satisfying strict import protocols of Western nations.
Lyophilization removes water content down to ≤5% via sublimation, bypassing liquid heat damage. This keeps the protein structure, vitamins, and cellular minerals fully intact, presenting a highly digestible and bioavailable food format ideal for young canine growth curves.
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 specialize in customized 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.

Ideal for picky eaters. Pet owners can crumble freeze-dried duck or egg yolk granules over dry kibble to enhance aroma, taste, and protein concentration, adding raw food nutrients without the mess.
Puppies learn best with immediate positive reinforcement. Lightweight, low-calorie freeze-dried chicken cubes or cheese cubes are clean to hold, hold their shape in pockets, and motivate dogs during agility training.
Warm water soaking reconstitutes raw chicken or salmon chunks back to fresh meat within 60 seconds. Provides essential hydration for young puppies who struggle with moisture intake or hard kibble chewability.

China, specifically Shandong province, holds one of the largest pet food manufacturing clusters in the world. This geographical centralization provides direct, reliable access to raw, human-grade meats (poultry, duck, seafood), optimized packaging suppliers, and advanced maritime trade logistics. Partnering with a specialized facility like GAGA Pet Food helps you achieve cost efficiencies while maintaining high food safety standards.
Because the moisture level in our freeze-dried puppy treats is kept below 5%, bacteria, mold, and yeast cannot grow. Unopened, our nitrogen-flushed or vacuum-packaged products can maintain full nutritional integrity and taste quality for 18 to 24 months. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Yes. Through our ODM services, we can combine pure meats with specific supplements (e.g., adding goat milk for puppy immune system support, pumpkin for digestion, or salmon oil for skin and coat health). We offer customizable sizes and densities to suit different breeds and puppy growth stages.
Our production facilities are FDA-registered and adhere to ISO22000 quality systems and HACCP safety standards. We handle the documentation necessary for custom clearances in global markets, including the US, EU, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
Once we discuss your product specifications, recipe, and size requirements, our R&D lab produces a test batch. We package and ship these samples to your location for quality evaluation, helping your brand test and adjust new products quickly.
