Meet Maev’s bestselling Raw Food for dogs

Three years of intense R&D later, Maev is the first human-grade raw-food company that ships directly to your home.
Finding the right dietary choices for your dog and their needs is a complicated process. There’s so much information scattered across the internet, even more to translate into everyday language, and plenty of false advertising to go around.
Maev’s founder, Katie, gets it. After adopting her first dog George in 2014 and immersing herself in the dog world, she realized that most of the dog food brands out there just weren’t cutting it — and none were offering the long-lasting nutrition she wanted for George. So she decided to make her own.
Maev Raw Food was meticulously formulated and tested by leading veterinary nutritionists and everyday dog owners alike. It exceeds AAFCO-standards, is USDA-certified, and is made in the USA to give your dog the best nutrition possible. Here’s the full breakdown.
What is a raw diet?
A raw food diet is the most natural and nutrient-dense diet you can feed your dog. These completely unprocessed diets are made of raw, uncooked proteins in their richest nutritional states. Typically, a raw diet is:
- 70% lean, raw protein
- 10% raw edible bone (ours is ground into a flour)
- 10% sweetbreads & beef liver
- 5% micronutrient-dense produce
Why is it the best diet for my dog?
Unlike humans, dogs are biologically designed to eat, digest, and absorb raw meat better than any other source of nutrition. Raw diets don’t require processing, fillers, or preservatives that degrade nutritional value — and they’re scientifically proven to deliver the most permanent benefits to digestive health, immunity, dental hygiene, and more.

“My dogs used to leave food in their bowls, sometimes all day. Ever since we added Maev to their diets, they eat everything as soon as it’s put down. Very happy with how happy my dogs are.” — Jennifer, Maev customer
How is Maev different from kibble?
Even the highest-protein kibbles are still made of almost 60% empty fillers and carbohydrates that not only retain very little nutritional value, but also prevent bacteria-fighting agents from keeping bad pathogens out.
Unlike kibble, our Raw Food recipe follows the diet makeup your dog is meant to eat — nearly 80% lean, USDA-certified protein and almost 0% fillers. This helps reverse the negative effects of kibble, exfoliating tartar and plaque buildup from your dog’s teeth and resetting their digestive tract.
How is Maev different from Fresh Food options?
Fresh food diets are cooked, which causes nutrient degradation and loss. Raw food like Maev retains all its nutrients in their naturally complex states — so your dog absorbs the most nutrition possible.
Though safer and higher quality than kibble, fresh diets are still low in proteins and high in starches that don’t afford the fullest nutrition possible. Maev’s Raw Food formula goes above and beyond, providing completely balanced nutrition and their daily supplements in one easy-to-serve bowl.
