Premium raw ingredients processed with state-of-the-art sublimation freeze-drying technology.
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 combining premium regional sourcing with advanced food production technology, we support globally recognized brands to expand their nutritional pet lines efficiently.
We operate six advanced vacuum freeze-drying production lines, with a daily production capacity of up to 4,000 kilograms.
This allows 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 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.
Our commitment to avoiding brand conflicts means we focus purely on manufacturing and do not operate our own brand. We are strictly a professional OEM & ODM customization partner, ensuring the intellectual property and market position of our clients are protected.
Why sourcing freeze-dried pet food from Shandong is the premier choice for global retail buyers.
Situated in Rizhao, Shandong Province, our facility benefits from close proximity to major international shipping ports. This enables faster container loading, streamlined customs processing, and highly competitive ocean freight rates to the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
We source only high-quality agricultural raw products, with Shandong being China's poultry production hub. Fresh chicken breast, duck breast, deep-sea cod, egg yolks, and fresh produce are delivered daily under cold chain protocols to guarantee peak nutritional profiles.
Thanks to integrated local packaging supply chains, high-volume energy agreements, and scale optimization, we manage manufacturing costs efficiently without sacrificing food safety standards or quality control protocols.
