Our StoryHi, we’re
Maev.
Well actually we’re Katie, Christine, and George. We started this thing.
C:
Katie and I met in grad school and despite how different we appeared on the surface, it quickly became so obvious we were supposed to build this together.
K:
Christine’s a classic liberal arts-oriented reader, writer, and storyteller. She approaches the world through stories and narratives.
C:
And Katie’s an engineer; she likes tinkering, building, creating. She approaches the world from a user-centered design perspective.
K:
And George is our resident dog muse.
“And George is our resident
dog muse.”
K:
In 2015, George and I finally met. I had spent the last year seeking permission from friends and family, who each told me I shouldn’t or couldn’t adopt a dog. At some point, I stopped asking for permission, and decided to just do it. The process has been hard. I won’t downplay it. But, best decision I’ve ever made.
“At some point, I stopped asking for permission, and decided to just do it.”
C:
And it’s really Katie’s experience and the experience of women like her that made this the thing we wanted to do. We were in business school in this transitional period of our lives that was turbulent and full of unknowns, and we weren’t alone.
There are so many women who share Katie’s experience: living in cities, getting dogs earlier, having big meaningful jobs and trying to make it all work. And it’s really hard raising a dog, building a career, having a social life … all in a city that wasn’t made for this.

K:
Exactly. No one in this category was designing products for us, for our lifestyle, for our unique needs — no one even saw us as a real consumer. So we set out to build it — for her. To make her feel seen. To make her feel known. To make her feel supported on this crazy journey.

Made in NYC, for NYC

Everything we do is designed to make the dog experience easier and more rewarding.
Because we get it — cities aren’t made for dogs, and having one here is uniquely challenging.
That’s why we make feeding your dog a raw food diet easy with perfectly portioned, beautifully designed pints that fit in urban freezers, and by filling in your dog’s nutrition gaps foundationally with food and supplementally with real-food vitamins.
Our philosophy
Not dog food, just real food.
We started Maev because we didn’t feel seen by any dog brands out there -- the modern experience of raising a dog is a uniquely challenging one.
That’s why we worked with veterinary nutritionists to develop a raw food formula that’s biologically appropriate, using fresh, unaltered ingredients for the healthiest, most transparent choice you can make for your dog.
Our food philosophy
Designed for both of you
Designed for both of you
Surrender your heart to your dog, not your entire aesthetic.
Design is everything to us, and we know we’re not alone. That’s why we meticulously designed every aspect of our products to seamlessly fit into the modern urban apartment. These are products designed for both of you.
Repeat after us:
you’re not alone.
