GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd., based in Rizhao, Shandong Province, is a premier, dedicated manufacturer specializing in high-quality freeze-dried pet food. With over ten years of expertise in research and development, large-scale production, and international logistics, we have established a state-of-the-art facility to serve global brands, distributors, and bulk importers.
Our operational model is focused purely on business-to-business (B2B) manufacturing. We do not sell retail brands, eliminating potential channel conflicts and fully protecting our partners' intellectual property and brand equity. From selecting raw, human-grade poultry meat to final vacuum sealing, our workflows guarantee microbiological safety, nutritional density, and unmatched palatability.
Modern consumers view pets as family, driving high-protein, zero-additive, and highly digestible food demands. Freeze-dried chicken treats are the ultimate gold standard in this premiumization wave.
We source only high-quality single-protein raw chicken breast, ensuring allergen mitigation and 100% trace-back records. Ideal for grain-free configurations.
Through our proprietary quick-freeze technology, the cellular structures of the raw meat remain intact, trapping natural volatile compounds that pets love.
We custom compound chicken meat with functional ingredients like goat milk (digestive health), cat grass (hairball control), and pumpkin powder (rich fiber).
Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, is a high-tech dehydration process based on the physical principle of sublimation. Unlike traditional thermal drying (which alters chemical structures, breaks down proteins, and destroys vital enzymes), our low-temperature vacuum freeze-drying locks in active nutrients at a microscopic level.
Step 1: Deep Blast Freezing (-40°C). Raw chicken cuts are rapidly frozen within a controlled cooling chamber. This rapid rate of thermal drop prevents the formation of large ice crystals, thereby preserving the cellular matrix and minimizing structural damage.
Step 2: Primary Drying (Sublimation Phase). We lower the pressure of the drying chamber to near-vacuum levels (10-50 Pa) and apply calculated heat. At this stage, the frozen water within the chicken changes directly from ice to gas, removing approximately 90% of the moisture.
Step 3: Secondary Desorption. Remaining bound water molecules are removed under intense vacuum settings. The final moisture content of our freeze-dried chicken stays below 3%, with water activity (aw) kept under 0.6, safely eliminating microbial growth vectors without artificial chemical preservatives.
| Nutrition Parameter | Freeze-Dried (GAGA) | Air-Dried / Dehydrated |
|---|---|---|
| Nutrient Retention Rate | > 97% | ~ 50% - 60% (Heat damage) |
| Moisture Stability | < 3% | 8% - 12% (Molding risk) |
| Rehydration Speed | < 60 Seconds | Several Hours |
| Preservatives Needed | 0% Additives | Often requires chemical agents |
We provide flexible formulation, design, and structural configurations to align with the specific needs of starting brands and established international distributors.
Minimize launch risk by selecting from our pre-validated stock formulas. We support mixed wholesale configurations, low minimum orders, and provide complete product specifications, technical datasheets, and high-definition marketing imagery to fast-track your sales rollout.
Unlock custom parameters with our dedicated R&D facilities. We support customized dimensions, bespoke nutrient profiles, proprietary shapes (cubes, disks, strips, or powders), and distinct composite flavor blendings, finalized within a 15-30 day volume production cycle.
Our location in Rizhao, Shandong Province, provides an unmatched competitive advantage. Shandong is China’s dominant poultry production and processing hub, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh, non-frozen raw chicken breast meat within a 50-kilometer radius of our processing facility.
This geographic positioning minimizes transportation stress and environmental impact, while preventing early microbial growth in raw ingredients. By operating six automated industrial vacuum drying chambers, we optimize energy usage, decrease cycle times, and minimize production overheads.
Furthermore, Rizhao is adjacent to major shipping ports (Qingdao Port and Lianyungang Port), providing direct shipping connections to Europe, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific region. This ensures reliable and efficient ocean freight options for our global partners.
We provide high-quality product solutions, managing every production milestone with transparency, speed, and precision.
We clarify your target demographic, packaging styles, pricing points, and compliance needs to define clear project objectives.
Our technicians optimize protein, fat, ash, and moisture ratios, adding targeted functional elements as specified.
We coordinate sourcing for custom barrier materials, nitrogen-flushed plastics, and shelf-ready retail formats.
We manufacture initial samples in our pilot laboratory and refine texture, density, and palatability based on your feedback.
Approved samples proceed to commercial production on our advanced vacuum lines under strict process controls.
Every production run undergoes physical, chemical, and microbiological analysis to ensure compliance with export standards.
Cargo is packed in moisture-resistant cartons and transferred to temperature-controlled shipping containers for transit.
We monitor product feedback in your markets and collaborate on seasonal line extensions and formula upgrades.
Operating a premium pet treat factory requires rigorous adherence to food safety standards. GAGA Pet Food complies with international regulations, holding active FDA registration and certified HACCP and ISO management systems.
We monitor critical control points throughout production, tracking raw ingredients from verified farms through processing to final packaging. Our on-site laboratories test each batch for water activity (aw), moisture levels, and heavy metals, while external ISO-certified labs verify the absence of pathogens like Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli.
These practices ensure our freeze-dried treats meet import standards for global markets including the United States, Canada, the European Union, South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia, ensuring smooth customs clearance for our partners.
Freeze-dried poultry treats provide functional versatility beyond simple rewards. Their physical properties support a variety of feeding scenarios.
In addition to our core freeze-dried chicken range, we produce alternative high-protein bases to support diverse product lines.

For our standard stock products (e.g., standard size freeze-dried chicken cubes), we support small MOQs to help partners launch. For customized formulas (tailored ingredients, shapes, and custom retail packaging), the MOQ typically starts at 500 kg to 1,000 kg depending on raw material sourcing parameters.
We use a strict HACCP control framework. Our raw meats are sourced from certified disease-free poultry farms. During freeze-drying, low temperatures prevent microbial replication. Additionally, our processing lines use UV sanitization and strict cleanroom protocols. Every batch undergoes mandatory pathogen testing, and phytosanitary certificates are provided with every international shipment.
Yes. Our R&D team specializes in blending ingredients, including goat milk powder, egg yolk, cat grass, and pumpkin. We can shape the mixture into custom sizes, cubes, powders, round patties, or specific molded shapes to meet your target market needs.
When sealed in high-barrier, food-grade packaging with nitrogen flushing or oxygen absorbers, our freeze-dried products have a shelf life of 18 to 24 months. They should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, they should be resealed to prevent absorption of ambient moisture.
GAGA Pet Food is FDA registered. We provide export veterinary health certificates, origin certificates, sanitary clearance certifications, and detailed analysis certificates (COA) containing protein, moisture, fat, and ash assays. We support customs compliance globally.
We can formulate and dispatch customized samples within 10 days of confirming specifications. For bulk mass production, standard orders are completed and ready for port transfer within 15 to 30 days from final packaging proof sign-offs.
