Explore our top-selling freeze-dried treats and food formulations, engineered with human-grade raw materials and advanced lyophilization technology.
Cod (Gadus morhua / Gadus macrocephalus) is highly regarded by veterinarians and animal scientists as one of the most bioavailable, low-allergen protein sources available for domestic canines and felines. Unlike common terrestrial livestock proteins such as chicken or beef, marine protein from wild-caught cod offers an exceptionally clean nutritional profile, free from residues of growth hormones or prophylactic antibiotics.
The freeze-drying process locks in these natural compounds without structural degradation. In raw meat, volatile compounds and heat-sensitive Omega-3 fatty acids deteriorate when exposed to temperatures exceeding 60°C. Our specialized cryogenic sublimation preserves these critical nutrients in their natural state:
GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., located in the coastal city of Rizhao, Shandong Province, is a professional 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.
Unlike factories that produce multiple product types, we focus exclusively on freeze-dried technology. By specializing solely in this segment, we have optimized the dehydration process, temperature curves, and nutritional preservation ratios to industry-leading standards. Our facility does not market a proprietary brand; we dedicate 100% of our capacity to supporting B2B OEM and ODM partnerships. This commitment avoids direct market competition with our clients, protecting corporate IP and brand equity.
Equipped with state-of-the-art cold sublimation machinery, our facility ensures consistent batch-to-batch production parameters.
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. This flexibility enables us to meet diverse market demands and support our partners effectively.

How GAGA Pet Food leverages geographic, logistical, and industrial clustering to provide cost and speed advantages to global buyers.
Located in Rizhao, Shandong, we enjoy direct access to primary North Pacific cod ports. This proximity minimizes raw material transport times and preserves freshness prior to freeze-drying, reducing cellular breakdown and bacterial growth.
By automating raw processing, tray loading, lyophilization, and final nitrogen-flushed packaging, we reduce labor costs while increasing batch consistency and hygiene safety.
Shandong's developed infrastructure connects our factory directly to major maritime hubs like Qingdao Port. This enables cost-effective ocean freight options and efficient customs handling for international shipments.
Exporting pet food internationally requires strict adherence to animal health regulations, phytosanitary requirements, and customs documentation. GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd. has established regulatory clearance channels for major global markets.
We are FDA-registered and certified to export to the United States, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and other regions. Our team manages compliance protocols for import clearance, including AAFCO, FEDIAF, and national biosafety standards. This support ensures smooth border entry and minimizes the risk of shipment delays or product rejections.
