Executive Briefinging

Natural Nutrition for Happy Pets Worldwide

Aligning raw functional preservation with world-class production protocols to create premium freeze-dried solutions.

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. As global consumer demand shifts towards natural, raw diets, freeze-drying has emerged as the gold standard for preserving vital nutrients without synthetic additives. We leverage Shandong's robust agricultural and marine supply networks to source the finest human-grade raw ingredients, ensuring complete traceability from source to final packaging.

By using low-temperature vacuum sublimation, we remove moisture while safeguarding the natural flavors, structural integrity, and biological activity of proteins, enzymes, and essential vitamins. Our facility is strictly run under pharmaceutical-grade sanitation guidelines, avoiding the thermal degradation typical of standard kibble extrusion. Whether you are looking to create high-protein single-ingredient canine treats, functional multi-component formulas like Kiwi-infused raw recipes, or balanced freeze-dried kibble mixers, our engineering and R&D teams provide the scientific expertise required to support your brand’s market growth.

The Evolution of Kiwi Freeze-Dried Pet Food

How the synergy of enzyme-rich botanicals and raw meat is redefining functional canine diets.

The global pet food sector is undergoing a major paradigm shift. Pet parents no longer view commercial pet treats as mere rewards; they view them as targeted wellness solutions. Within this context, the integration of Kiwi fruit with premium freeze-dried meats is a significant innovation. Kiwi is naturally rich in actinidin—a proteolytic enzyme that actively breaks down protein molecules, significantly enhancing raw protein digestion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tracts of dogs.

Furthermore, Kiwi boasts exceptionally high levels of dietary fiber, natural prebiotics, vitamin C, and potassium. In standard kibble production, these vitamins are destroyed by heat and pressure. However, low-temperature vacuum freeze-drying maintains the biological integrity of both the muscle meat and the botanical components. Our state-of-the-art sublimation process ensures that the active enzymes in the Kiwi fruit and the raw amino acids in the meat remain functional, supporting immune defense, gut microbiome health, and skin and coat condition in dogs.

1. Digestive Enzyme Synergy

Actinidin enzymes from Kiwi fruit naturally assist in the hydrolyzation of complex animal proteins, making digestion smoother and gentler on sensitive stomachs.

2. Immune Defense & Vitamin C

Kiwi contains high levels of stable Vitamin C. When freeze-dried, it retains its antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals in canine systems.

3. Prebiotic Gut Support

Natural soluble and insoluble fibers from raw Kiwi feed beneficial gut bacteria, helping to regulate digestive transit and improve stool quality.

B2B Strategy

Global Enterprise Procurement Dynamics

Addressing supply chain stability, customized formulations, and the needs of pet brands worldwide.

Global pet food procurement has become increasingly demanding. Large-scale importers, independent pet store networks, and established brands need more than just a vendor—they need a resilient partner. Rising raw material costs, shifting maritime logistics, and tighter import rules require suppliers to offer consistent pricing, guaranteed production capacities, and complete compliance documentation.

As a key OEM/ODM manufacturing partner in Shandong, China, GAGA Pet Food is built to handle these challenges. Our location near major shipping hubs ensures efficient logistics, while our direct sourcing of raw ingredients provides stable cost management. We provide full customization capabilities, offering tailored packaging, optimized product shapes (such as cubes, discs, powders, and strips), and custom nutritional profiles to help you capture your target market.

R&D Division

Technical Roadmap & Future Outlook

Pushing the boundaries of pet food preservation through advanced thermodynamics and nutritional research.

Modern pet food manufacturing relies on advanced engineering. At GAGA Pet Food, our technical roadmap focuses on optimization, ecological footprint reduction, and nutrient retention. Our standard freeze-drying process includes several carefully monitored stages:

Phase 1: Deep Blast Freezing (-40°C)

Raw materials are rapidly frozen to lock in structural integrity. This quick freezing prevents the formation of large ice crystals, which preserves the texture and cellular structure of the raw meats and fruits.

Phase 2: Primary Sublimation Drying

Under a deep vacuum, temperature and pressure are controlled to sublimate frozen moisture directly into vapor, removing about 90% of the product's water content without melting the ice structure.

Phase 3: Secondary Desorption

The drying temperature is gradually increased under vacuum to remove bound water molecules. This reduces final moisture levels to below 3-5%, preventing bacterial growth and ensuring a long shelf life.

Phase 4: Sealed Protection Packaging

Dried products are packed in a temperature-controlled, low-humidity environment. High-barrier packaging, supplemented by nitrogen flushing, protects the food from oxygen and moisture to maintain natural freshness.

Looking ahead, our R&D team is developing automated moisture-sensing technologies that adjust heating profiles in real-time based on batch density. This innovation will help improve energy efficiency and maintain consistent quality across different raw materials, ensuring reliable results for every batch.
