Engineered using advanced vacuum-sublimation technology. Retaining 97% of nutritional payload from fresh, human-grade raw meats to serve premium Norwegian retail networks.
Norway is home to approximately 560,000 dogs and 800,000 cats, representing a massive demographic shift toward premiumization and health-oriented pet welfare. Norwegian consumers, backed by strong purchasing power, demand high-grade nutritional formulations that match the rugged lifestyle of Nordic pets, including active outdoor breeds like the Norwegian Elkhound and the Siberian Husky.
The regulatory authority, Mattilsynet (Norwegian Food Safety Authority), maintains some of the world's strictest parameters for imported pet foodstuffs, requiring extreme vigilance in microbial containment, heavy metal thresholds, and full traceability. Because of this, traditional highly processed kibble is rapidly losing ground to minimal-ingredient, raw-equivalent solutions such as lyophilized (freeze-dried) proteins.
By leveraging Gaga Pet Food's advanced production capacity, local Norwegian importers, private label start-ups, and bulk distributors can secure a stable supply chain of clean-label, grain-free animal proteins that bypass the structural volatility of domestic European agriculture prices.
Gaga Pet Food Co., Ltd. is positioned at the absolute forefront of premium freeze-dried manufacturing, offering an uncompromised B2B supply line from our strategic industrial base in Rizhao, Shandong Province.
Our infrastructure centers on six advanced vacuum freeze-drying chambers engineered to precise thermal specifications. Unlike conventional dry kibbles which undergo high-heat extrusion that denatures vital micronutrients and enzymes, our low-temperature sublimation curves lock in the biological structures of proteins. Our dedicated B2B model ensures zero conflict of interest—we do not compete with our customers under our own label; our sole focus is manufacturing high-performance products for your brand.
Whether you are launching a startup pet treat label in Oslo or expanding an established multi-national brand, our workflow is designed to accelerate time-to-market.
We work with our clinical nutritionists to design bespoke ingredient matrices. We offer high-protein meats, functional freeze-dried treats (including joints, coat health, and digestive supplements), and multi-protein formulas tailored to local markets.
Choose from flexible stand-up pouches, nitrogen-flushed bags, vacuum packaging, and bulk shipping formats. Our packaging systems extend the shelf life up to 18-24 months under room-temperature conditions without artificial chemical preservatives.
Every single batch undergoes stringent post-freeze metal detection, moisture content testing, water activity testing (≤ 0.05 aW), and microbiological screening to ensure full safety compliance before shipping.
Exporting to highly regulated areas like Norway requires robust international certifications. Gaga Pet Food meets and exceeds global safety metrics.
Our manufacturing processes adhere to the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system to eliminate physical, chemical, and biological hazards. Under this system, raw material selection, freezing profiles, sublimation parameters, and sorting steps are monitored continuously.
Furthermore, our facility is FDA-registered, opening pathways to major international markets like North America, East Asia, and the EEA. Our certifications are backed by real-world documentation and third-party laboratory verification, ensuring smooth custom clearance through Norwegian ports.
Norwegian pet lifestyles demand nutrient-dense food with excellent hydration properties, perfect for cold winter months and long outdoor excursions.
From initial contact to final delivery at Norwegian ports like Oslo, Bergen, or Trondheim, we ensure a smooth import experience.
We align on product specifications, packaging types, and target demographics for the Norwegian pet market.
Our labs tailor ingredient ratios and create custom sample batches for evaluation.
We confirm compliance with Mattilsynet standards, verifying all phytosanitary certifications.
