Unveiling market dynamics driving the exponential global demand for marine-based pet foods.
Traditional proteins like beef and chicken often trigger allergies. Dried fish treats, specifically Capelin, Anchovy, and Cod, offer unique non-mammalian protein alternatives containing high bio-available amino acid profiles preferred by modern veterinary standards.
Global pet owners seek visible benefits like shiny coats and joint relief. Sea-derived fish are naturally dense in DHA and EPA, promoting brain development in puppies and joint support in aging canines, helping brands claim specific premium functional properties.
Modern consumers inspect ingredient lists thoroughly. Freeze-dried fish treats present a 100% single-ingredient layout, completely eliminating chemical fillers, binders, artificial colorants, and toxic shelf-life stabilizers from the supply chain.
Standard dehydration methods subject fish to heat levels between 60°C to 80°C, causing significant degradation to vital proteins and melting out delicate Omega oils. In contrast, GAGA Pet Food's advanced vacuum freeze-drying sublimation system works at temperatures below -40°C. Water content is extracted directly from ice to gas state without liquid phases, maintaining 97% of the original cellular structure and preventing thermal-induced lipid oxidation. The result is a lighter, highly nutritious, and microbiologically stable treat that rehydrates to fresh quality in minutes.
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 specialise in customised 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.

A look at the biological extraction and moisture-control parameters that deliver industry-leading shelf stability.
Fresh raw fish is subjected to ultra-fast blast freezing down to -40°C. This quick solidification restricts the formation of large ice crystals, preserving the cellular integrity of the fish and preventing cellular rupture, keeping nutrients locked within the fiber matrix.
Under deep vacuum pressure in our advanced chambers, thermal energy is gently introduced to induce sublimation. Ice crystals transition directly to vapor, leaving the structure intact while extracting moisture down to less than 5% total water volume.
Every single seafood run undergoes thorough automated metal detection and microbial screening (Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria). This protects against any potential oceanic contamination, keeping products safe for strict global export markets.

Helpful answers addressing bulk logistics, OEM parameters, and safe storage requirements.
A: Our standard MOQ for wholesale stock is low to support testing stages. For completely custom packaging (OEM private label) and custom formulas, the MOQ usually ranges from 500kg to 1,000kg, depending on the availability of specific fish materials.
A: All of our seafood ingredients are sourced from deep-water ocean regions under certified sanitary fishing permits. Every raw shipment is tested for heavy metal parameters before production, and final batches are tested to ensure they align with strict FDA and EU safety limits.
A: When packed in high-quality oxygen-barrier bags, our freeze-dried dog and cat treats have a shelf life of 18 to 24 months. Keeping moisture levels below 5% and water activity (Aw) below 0.6 prevents bacterial growth naturally.
A: Yes. We export to the USA, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Europe. We provide necessary custom certificates, export declarations, FDA registration paperwork, and veterinary certificates to help you navigate border inspections smoothly.
