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.
As search engines adapt to evaluate content based on high-integrity expertise, B2B procurement professionals require detailed chemical and physical insights. Our raw materials are sourced directly from sustainable deep-sea aquaculture hubs. The salmon goes through deep freezing at -40°C in under 2 hours of arrival at the factory, keeping the lipid profiles and antioxidant compounds intact. This ensures that the end consumer receives raw-equivalent biological value.
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.

Our infrastructure matches international standards, ensuring that raw material flow, cleanrooms, packaging units, and product distribution are segregated to eliminate any risk of microbiological cross-contamination. We implement automated monitoring sensors at every stage to record humidity, sublimation temperatures, and vacuum levels, generating a data trail for each production run.
Download Technical White PaperAt present, we provide more than 50 best-selling pet treat products, with our core range including freeze-dried chicken, freeze-dried duck, freeze-dried cod and freeze-dried vegetables. Our extensive product portfolio ensures consistent quality, rich nutrition and excellent taste, making them popular among pet owners and distributors alike.

Our main business covers wholesale and custom processing of freeze-dried pet food, and we provide professional one-stop ODM and OEM services. All our products are made using human-grade raw materials, guided by our core philosophy: "Natural, Healthy, Delicious".
We implement strict quality control at every stage, from raw material selection and production processing to final inspection and delivery, ensuring stable product quality and reliable on-time delivery for every partner.
Preserving natural nutrition requires precise thermal control and high-performance physics. The technology behind freeze-dried salmon cat treats is optimized to prevent lipid oxidation and structural damage.
By measuring the precise electrical resistance of raw salmon tissue, we identify the exact eutectic point (-22°C to -26°C). Freezing the raw material below this point prevents the formation of large ice crystals, preserving the cellular structure of the salmon meat.
Omega-3 fatty acids are vulnerable to heat and oxygen. Our advanced processing introduces a nitrogen purge cycle inside the sublimation chamber, maintaining oxygen concentration below 0.5% to prevent the fats from going rancid.
We are integrating real-time smart spectroscopy scanners. These sensors dynamically analyze moisture variations in the chamber, optimizing energy usage and drying times while maintaining a consistent moisture level of under 3%.
Operating in the global pet care market requires addressing volatility, raw material tracking, and changing consumer expectations.
The global cost of wild-caught and sustainably farmed salmon changes due to environmental variables and seasonal fishing quotas. Gaga Pet Food uses long-term procurement contracts with verified deep-sea fisheries in northern Pacific and Atlantic waters. This stabilizes our production costs and insulates our OEM clients from price spikes.
Modern consumers demand clean ingredient labels. We provide a transparent supply chain for every batch of freeze-dried salmon. We offer DNA testing verification and heavy metal screening (for mercury, cadmium, and lead) to confirm the salmon is pure and free from contamination.
We help premium pet brands upgrade their product lines by co-processing freeze-dried salmon with functional extras. Options include prebiotics for digestive health, marine collagen for joint care, and natural kelp powder to support dental hygiene. This allows you to offer functional treats that stand out on retail shelves.
To reduce plastic waste, we offer plant-based, compostable pouch options. These materials provide the high gas barrier needed to keep freeze-dried treats fresh while aligning with the sustainability goals of eco-conscious pet owners.
GAGA Pet Food operates an updated processing facility in Rizhao, Shandong, utilizing automation and modern logistics to maintain supply consistency.
Our production floor uses integrated PLC controls to manage temperature profiles, vacuum pressure, and condensation rates. This automated system reduces human error and ensures that every batch of freeze-dried salmon retains its natural shape, color, and nutritional value.
Rizhao's location on the Shandong coast offers major logistics advantages. With close access to the Port of Qingdao, we can easily ship containers worldwide. We maintain close partnerships with major shipping lines to secure space and stable freight rates, helping our partners keep their inventory moving efficiently.
Importing pet food requires navigating strict sanitary regulations, customs clearances, and labeling laws. GAGA Pet Food offers end-to-end compliance services for our international partners.
We maintain active FDA facility registrations and ensure our salmon treats comply with USDA requirements. We provide complete documentation, including certificates of analysis, ingredient definitions, and export health certificates.
Our facility is approved to export to South Korea, Japan, Europe, and Southeast Asia. We formulate and label our products to meet local regulations, including FEDIAF standards for Europe and MAPA rules for South Korea.
We handle export customs paperwork, container loading, and ocean transport. Our team manages local registrations and customs clearance, making the supply chain simple and reliable.
Extensive experience in international trade, our company is FDA certified.
We design our products and services to fit your business stage, helping you expand your brand presence and stand out in the market.
We keep a selection of freeze-dried treats in stock to support smaller, initial orders. This allows you to mix different items in a single wholesale shipment. We provide detailed product specifications, professional product photography, and market insights to help you build your pet food business without large upfront inventory costs.
For established brands requiring custom formulations and unique shapes, our R&D team can deliver finished samples in 15 to 30 days. We focus purely on contract manufacturing and do not operate a private label brand, ensuring our production capacity is dedicated to supporting your brand's growth.

Our products are made using human-grade raw materials, guided by our core philosophy: "Natural, Healthy, Delicious".
Freeze-dried salmon rehydrates quickly in warm water, softening the texture for kittens, senior cats, or pets with dental issues. Rehydration also helps increase daily water intake to support kidney health.
The light, dry texture makes these treats easy to break into small pieces, perfect for training rewards or as a meal topper to encourage picky eaters.
