Explore our flagship collection of lyophilized pet food. Made from human-grade ingredients using optimized sublimation technology to lock in flavor and crucial micronutrients.
In the modern pet nutrition economy, freeze-dried liver treats have transitioned from specialty niche delicacies to global supermarket essentials. As dog owners worldwide embrace raw feeding philosophies and clean-label diets, the demand for single-ingredient proteins has surged. Freeze-dried liver, in both beef and chicken varieties, is widely recognized by pet nutritionists as a nutritional powerhouse. It is exceptionally rich in essential amino acids, Vitamin A, iron, copper, and highly bioavailable proteins.
Unlike traditional kibbles or baked treats, the freeze-drying process (also known as lyophilization) operates by dehydrating materials at sub-zero temperatures under a high vacuum. This removes moisture without damaging heat-sensitive nutrients. For B2B buyers—ranging from established pet food brands to global distribution partners—securing a reliable supply chain of premium, pathogen-free freeze-dried liver is essential to capturing market share.
At GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., we combine veterinary science with precision engineering. Our multi-stage freeze-drying workflow ensures all nutritional integrity remains fully intact.
Raw livers are rapidly chilled to temperatures below -40°C. This fast freezing process forms small, uniform ice crystals, preserving the cellular structure of the raw liver meat. This ensures that the texture remains tender and porous once rehydrated.
Under controlled vacuum conditions, the pressure inside the drying chamber is lowered. Warmth is introduced, causing the ice crystals to vaporize directly without passing through the liquid phase. This step removes approximately 95% of the moisture.
The temperature is gently raised to break bound water molecules. This reduces moisture content to less than 3% and water activity (aw) to below 0.6. The result is a highly shelf-stable treat that naturally resists mold and bacteria without added preservatives.
Located in Rizhao, Shandong Province, GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer specializing in high-quality freeze-dried pet foods and single-ingredient treats. For over a decade, we have partnered with major international distributors, brands, and supermarket chains, providing scalable OEM and ODM manufacturing.
Operating six advanced vacuum freeze-drying production lines, we achieve a daily production output of up to 4,000 kilograms. This high-capacity setup allows us to stabilize prices and support large-scale purchase contracts. Our facility is run by over 20 professional technical experts who oversee R&D, product safety, and custom manufacturing.
Unlike other manufacturers, we focus exclusively on manufacturing and do not operate our own brand. We avoid competing directly in our clients' consumer markets, focusing instead on protecting the interests and recipes of our global private label partners.
We tailor product shapes, formulas, and packaging to match your brand's regional compliance and marketing requirements.
Choose from cubes (8mm, 10mm, 12mm), granules for meal mixers, micro-granules, or premium liver powders for dry food toppers.
Develop single-source protein treats (100% Beef Liver / 100% Chicken Liver) or custom formulations infused with functional supplements like probiotics, Omega-3s, or calcium.
We supply stand-up pouches (zipper/slider), vacuum-sealed bulk bags, food-grade plastic jars, and high-density outer shipper cartons configured for transit stability.
For large distributors, our bulk carton options provide cost efficiency. Products are packed with desiccant packs to maintain dry stability during intercontinental shipping.
Freeze-dried liver is highly versatile. It can be fed dry, powdered as a topper, or rehydrated to mimic fresh meat.
Due to the preservation of raw microstructures during sublimation, GAGA's freeze-dried liver absorbs liquid quickly. Submerging the treats in warm water for 60 seconds returns them to soft, juicy chunks. This offers a highly digestible protein source for puppies, kittens, and senior pets with sensitive teeth.
Liver has a strong, natural aroma that acts as a natural palatability enhancer. When crumbled over standard kibble, it encourages picky eaters to finish their meals. In dry form, the clean texture and long shelf life make it a convenient training treat that won't leave greasy residues.
We manage a streamlined, transparent process from initial consultation to final delivery, ensuring quality control at every stage.
We conduct a detailed consultation to establish parameters like raw material origin (beef or poultry), cut sizes, moisture levels, target packaging formats, and destination port regulations.
Our in-house R&D team refines custom formulations. This stage ensures the nutritional profile matches veterinary regulations, establishing optimal protein and fat balance.
We support brand design deployment. Leveraging partnerships with specialized package suppliers, we offer oxygen-barrier and high-durability packaging designs.
We manufacture physical product prototypes within 10 days. We send these samples to your team for lab testing, palatability checks, and design sign-off.
Upon recipe approval, we begin mass production. Our automated lyophilization chambers operate under continuous environmental control, ensuring consistency across batches.
Every batch undergoes strict safety checks. We test for heavy metals, moisture content, Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, assuring complete safety before release.
We manage documentation, CIQ health certificates, and export procedures, securing safe passage through customs to ports in North America, Europe, or the Asia-Pacific.
We continue to assist your business after shipping, providing support for line extensions, seasonal inventory adjustments, and product feedback analysis.
Pet food safety is critical to building brand trust. At GAGA Pet Food, we implement food safety measures that meet or exceed standard global requirements. Our manufacturing facilities are fully FDA-registered and operate in compliance with HACCP and ISO 22000 management systems.
We source our raw ingredients from verified, export-approved farms. Raw meats are stored under strict temperature controls before processing to prevent bacterial growth. Post-freeze-drying, we use automated sorting and metal detection to guarantee clean, safe products.
*Our plant is subject to regular internal quality audits and spot inspections by customs authorities, maintaining an impeccable export record.
