Explore our highly-requested core raw materials and finished formulations, crafted under human-grade safety metrics.
In modern canine nutrition, salmon is highly valued for its dense concentration of biologically active compounds, particularly Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). These essential fats support skin health, promote a dense and glossy coat, and act as natural anti-inflammatory agents that assist in joint maintenance and cognitive development in dogs.
Traditional high-heat dehydration methods often denature critical proteins and oxidize delicate fatty acids, rendering the final product less nutritious. In contrast, GAGA Pet Food utilizes advanced low-temperature vacuum freeze-drying. By freezing raw, human-grade salmon to -35°C to -40°C and sublimation-drying it under vacuum, we remove moisture while preserving the cellular structure, natural colors, flavors, and fragile nutrients of the fresh fish.
This process results in a highly bioavailable, shelf-stable, and aromatic treat or kibble-mixer that retains the nutritional value of raw salmon without the risks associated with foodborne pathogens.
Located in Rizhao, Shandong Province, GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd. is situated in one of China's premier marine logistics hubs. This strategic location offers us direct access to cold-water marine harvests, minimizing transportation times and ensuring that raw salmon is processed at peak freshness.
We operate six advanced vacuum freeze-drying production lines with a daily output capacity of 4,000 kilograms, supported by an annual production capability exceeding 2,000 metric tons. Our facilities utilize computerized freeze-drying chambers that automatically regulate sublimation temperatures, vacuum pressure, and cycle times to guarantee consistent quality across every production batch.
Expanding freeze-dried salmon pet treats into international markets requires strict adherence to regional animal health and import safety standards.
We maintain active FDA registration and follow strict sanitary protocols. Every shipment of salmon pet food complies with USDA import requirements, including necessary veterinary health certifications.
For European markets, our raw materials are sourced from EU-approved fishing zones and processed in facilities that strictly control chemical residues and environmental contaminants.
Our production facilities follow hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) methodologies and ISO 9001/22000 management frameworks, ensuring systematic oversight at every stage of production.
From product conceptualization to global shipment, we provide comprehensive manufacturing support for pet brands worldwide.
We hold comprehensive consultations to define your product parameters, targeted market demographics, and custom packaging requirements.
Our R&D team develops customized formulas, which can combine freeze-dried salmon with functional ingredients like probiotics, green-lipped mussel, or egg yolk.
We offer a variety of packaging solutions, including food-grade stand-up pouches, nitrogen-flushed bags, vacuum-sealed canisters, and bulk cartons.
We produce custom samples within 10 to 15 days, allowing your team to evaluate product palatability, texture, and rehydration performance.
Once samples are approved, our automated freeze-drying lines scale up production under continuous monitoring to ensure batch consistency.
Every batch undergoes rigorous quality assurance inspections, including microbiological and heavy metal analysis, before global customs clearance.
Our processing facility is FDA-registered, certified by leading international bodies, and fully compliant with global export regulations.
Sourcing freeze-dried salmon pet treats in bulk involves managing complex logistics and quality control variables. Because freeze-dried foods are lightweight but have high volume, shipping costs can rise quickly without proper packaging optimization.
We work closely with logistics partners to design custom carton dimensions and load configurations that maximize shipping container space, reducing shipping costs per unit. Additionally, we provide nitrogen flushing for all bulk shipments to displace oxygen within the packaging. This prevents oil oxidation and extends the shelf life of the product to up to 18-24 months under standard storage conditions.
We offer flexible incoterms, including FOB (Free On Board), CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), helping streamline customs clearance and delivery for our global partners.
Freeze-dried salmon is highly versatile, making it easy to incorporate into daily pet care routines.
Rehydrates in warm water within 3 to 5 minutes, returning to a fresh-meat texture that is easy for senior pets or weaning puppies and kittens to digest.
Crumbles easily into a flavorful powder to top daily kibble, encouraging picky eaters and providing a boost of Omega-3 fatty acids.
