Explore our core range of specialized canine and feline nutritional solutions developed under strict evolutionary guidelines.
Understanding the evolutionary biology, sourcing science, and semantic user intent driving the global raw-alternative and grain-free movement.
Modern pet food consumer patterns have fundamentally transformed. Search queries related to "Paleo dog food," "biological raw feeding," and "ancestral pet diet OEM" are no longer niche keywords. They represent a global paradigm shift. Google search dynamics reveal that high-value buyers—ranging from independent boutique brands to multinational pet retailers—are actively seeking products that align with the physiological designs of cats and dogs as obligate carnivores and historical scavengers.
Paleo pet diets emphasize minimal processing, high inclusion of muscle meat, offal, and bone, alongside the complete exclusion of modern agronomic grains (such as corn, wheat, and soy), synthetic starches, and filler proteins. From a clinical perspective, this dietary formulation reduces systemic inflammation, optimizes glycemic response, mitigates food allergies, and promotes a highly robust microbiome.
Macro-Nutrient Balance: Low-glycemic, high biological value (BV) protein profiles exceeding 40% crude protein dynamically sourced from single or multi-species animal tissue.
Zero Grains & Refined Sugars: Replacement of starch binders with natural dietary fibers, sweet potatoes, or peas only in minimal percentages necessary for extrusion structural integrity.
Functional Ancestral Botanicals: Incorporation of biological components including sea kelp, green-lipped mussels, and prebiotic-rich roots mimicking the wild gastrointestinal tract digest.

Why China's coastal logistics hub in Qingdao offers unparalleled supply chain advantages and safety measures for global brands.
Using next-gen low-temperature extrusion and cold-chain freeze-drying technologies. These techniques preserve heat-sensitive nutrients, endogenous enzymes, and essential amino acids without relying on chemical stabilizers.
Direct integration with premium, certified global and regional suppliers. Fresh poultry, grass-fed ruminants, and ocean-caught fish are verified for microbiological safety prior to being integrated into the mixing cycle.
Situated in Qingdao, the leading port city for global pet product logistics. Seamless shipping routes to North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific allow for rapid supply chain rotation, minimal transit times, and low domestic freight costs.
How our ISO & HACCP certified engineering framework turns functional ingredients into market-ready premium products.
Navigating global regulatory frameworks is the largest barrier to scaling an ancestral pet food brand. Regulatory agencies such as FDA (USA), EFSA (Europe), and AQIS (Australia) enforce rigorous biological and label requirements. Our R&D team works with third-party labs to ensure every raw product and freeze-dried option complies with local import criteria.
Whether you require a specific percentage of fresh-meat inclusion, specialized probiotics for gut wellness, or grain-free weight management solutions, our automated facilities adapt packaging and product sizes (ranging from 1kg to 20kg bulk sizing) dynamically.
Leading the next generation of evolutionary companion animal nutrition solutions.
Traditional high-heat extrusion can damage protein structures. Low-temperature oven baking retains original flavor profiles and biological value, allowing pet owners to offer clean nutrition without adding artificial flavor enhancers.
Microencapsulated live bacteria cultures (such as Bacillus coagulans) are added after the thermal phase. This guarantees stability throughout the shelf-life, improving stool quality and nutrient absorption in dogs and cats.
Combining traditional grain-free kibble with raw freeze-dried pieces (chicken, liver, or fish) increases texture variety. Coating kibble in freeze-dried raw powder provides an excellent sensory experience for picky eaters.
Customizing recipes for specific needs, such as weight control, hairball prevention, joint support (using natural chondroitin), and anti-allergen diets for pets with sensitive skin.
Essential answers for B2B procurement managers and brand owners looking to partner with a Chinese pet food manufacturer.
Every batch of raw meat undergoes incoming quarantine inspection. We check for moisture, protein concentration, fat percentage, and microbiological parameters (such as Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli). We work with registered slaughterhouses, and every ingredient shipment comes with a verification certificate, ensuring full traceability from farm to factory.
For custom extruded dry pet food formulations, the standard MOQ starts at 3 to 5 metric tons per recipe to optimize the production runs. For specialized treats, soft chews, or freeze-dried products, the MOQs vary based on raw materials and package dimensions. We offer flexible initial volumes for testing new markets—please speak with our sales department to discuss your requirements.
