Premium freeze-dried capelin, shrimp, chicken organs, and customized raw meat granules preserved at nutrient-peak via advanced lyophilization.
The global pet food industry is undergoing a structural transformation. Conventional thermal processes, such as high-temperature extrusion, have historically depleted raw proteins of essential vitamins, minerals, and bioactive enzymes. Today's pet parents demand clean-label, bio-available options. Freeze-dried raw dog food has emerged as the gold standard of nutrition.
By implementing sublimation processing—where water is vaporized directly from frozen raw tissue under vacuum conditions without liquefying—manufacturers protect the cellular integrity of the ingredients. The resulting products offer a shelf-stable alternative to frozen raw diets, providing the microbiological safety and moisture control required for global distribution networks.
As a result, major brands in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific are actively seeking raw materials, single-ingredient freeze-dried toppings, and complete-and-balanced raw formulations to satisfy their portfolio premiumization demands.
B2B importers need structural trust, regulatory compliance, and consistent nutritional metrics.
Pathogen controls are critical in raw meat processing. Top suppliers utilize strict temperature profiling, sanitization steps, and High-Pressure Processing (HPP) options to ensure zero-tolerance markers for Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli.
Proper sublimation maintains water activity levels below 0.06 Aw. This limits microbial metabolic pathways, allowing for a 24-month shelf life without chemical preservatives or artificial additives.
Cross-border supply chains require robust registrations, including US FDA credentials, EU authorization numbers, and specific custom inspection documentation to pass customs smoothly.
Rizhao, located in Shandong Province, serves as the central hub of GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd.'s operations. Shandong is renowned for its highly integrated agricultural, poultry, and maritime supply chains. By establishing raw material sourcing zones directly adjacent to processing lines, GAGA minimizes biological degradation and transit costs.
Our facility features six state-of-the-art vacuum freeze-drying chambers. By incorporating digital control loops, we program and monitor drying parameters remotely, maintaining vacuum levels and chamber temperatures with high precision.
This integration reduces structural waste, improves heat-transfer rates, and optimizes cost structures. As a result, global pet brands benefit from competitive wholesale pricing, consistent quality across batches, and reliable production capacity.
From initial design to finished retail packaging, we offer full-service manufacturing tailored to your brand.
All materials—chicken, duck, wild-caught cod, fresh vegetables, and single-origin proteins—are sourced from certified human-grade processors. We maintain full traceability and implement strict quality control from raw material selection to final delivery.
With an annual capacity of 2,000 metric tons and a daily output of 4,000 kilograms, we handle high-volume bulk orders while offering flexible solutions to help brands scale from test markets to regional distribution.
We focus exclusively on manufacturing and do not operate our own brand. This avoids direct market competition with our partners and ensures their proprietary formulations and brand interests are fully protected.

Custom configurations for pet foods, treats, and customized applications.
How global brands and end-consumers utilize our products across various feeding routines.
Our raw meat formulations rehydrate in warm water within 3-5 minutes, returning the freeze-dried proteins to their original texture, volume, and raw moisture levels. This helps support hydration for puppies, kittens, and senior pets with compromised dentition.
Because we use raw meats without heat-treating, the natural aromas remain highly concentrated. This makes our freeze-dried cubes effective as high-reward training treats for professional obedience training and everyday canine positive reinforcement.
Many pet owners use freeze-dried raw granules or powders as toppings on standard dry kibble. This elevates the overall protein content, increases palatability for picky eaters, and delivers raw bioactive nutrients at a lower average feeding cost.
We work closely with your brand team to execute a transparent, step-by-step production process.
We connect to define your product specifications, target markets, certification requirements, and commercial goals.
Our R&D team refines ingredient ratios, functional additives, and moisture profiles to match your brand's nutritional guidelines.
We suggest packaging formats, determine nitrogen-flushing parameters, and test moisture barriers to extend shelf life.
We run trial batches to test color, rehydration rate, density, and palatability, adjusting based on your feedback.
Once approved, we scale production in our computerized freeze-drying chambers under strict process controls.
We test for pathogenic organisms, moisture content, density, and package seals to verify quality standards are met.
We package finished products under nitrogen flush, seal them in bulk or retail formats, and prepare them for export shipping.
We manage port clearance, compile export certificates, and offer ongoing sales support to help your product line succeed.
Quality control is central to our manufacturing process. GAGA Pet Food operates under verified HACCP protocols, ISO 22000 food safety systems, and maintains active registration with the US FDA.
We perform regular sanitation checks, clean-in-place (CIP) protocols on all vacuum chambers, and run third-party laboratory tests for salmonella, heavy metals, and nutritional profiles. This ensures that every shipment arrives in your market fully documented and ready for retail sale.
Main Export Markets: USA, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Southeast Asia, and the EU.
