Explore our core range of single-ingredient and custom-formulated freeze-dried products manufactured to global human-grade standards.
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.
Unlike traditional thermal drying or high-temperature extrusion, our modern freeze-drying (lyophilization) process happens in clean rooms using precise sublimation. First, raw meat ingredients are quickly frozen at -35°C to -40°C to secure cellular integrity. Next, they undergo a vacuum drying phase, where moisture sublimes directly from ice to gas. This preserves over 97% of the original nutritional properties, amino acids, vitamins, and natural aromas without using artificial chemical preservatives.
Providing global partners with structural cost efficiency, rich raw material availability, and streamlined logistics.
Shandong Province is the hub of China's agricultural and poultry industry, offering a strong geographic advantage for pet food production. Operating our factory in Rizhao gives us direct access to fresh, human-grade poultry (chicken, duck) and seafood (cod, anchovy, shrimp) farms nearby. This close proximity helps reduce raw material transit time to within hours, preserving meat freshness before processing and lowering overall logistical costs.
Additionally, our direct access to Qingdao Port, one of the world's largest container shipping hubs, ensures fast, cost-efficient, and reliable ocean freight to the United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. B2B buyers benefit from direct factory pricing, reliable raw material supply, and simplified customs clearance processes.
Freeze-dried meats are highly sensitive to raw ingredient degradation. Raw materials transported over long distances degrade before processing, requiring chemical stabilizers. Sourcing and processing within Shandong's agricultural zone allows us to keep our products 100% clean-label, preserving natural colors, structures, and flavors without synthetic additives.
Located close to major coastal shipping ports, reducing export lead times and shipping costs for bulk orders.
Raw materials are sourced directly from verified human-grade meat and poultry processors under strict veterinary supervision.
We manufacture exclusively for private labels and pet food brands. We do not sell retail or compete with our clients.
Exporting pet treats globally requires strict adherence to international agricultural and food safety standards. GAGA Pet Food is FDA-registered, and our operations follow HACCP and ISO 22000 management systems.
We perform pathogen testing (including Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria) on every batch before shipment. Our facilities feature positive pressure air purification systems, dedicated wet/dry separation zones, and precise temperature-humidity controls to eliminate cross-contamination risks and ensure safe import clearance at foreign borders.
