Katie Spies, Founder and CEO at Maev, with her best friend George
Our founder couldn't find dog food she trusted, so she made it herself.
“I built Maev because I couldn’t find a dog food I truly trusted for George. I wanted real, human-grade ingredients, complete nutrition, and the benefits of raw without the prep or mess. After years of research and working with veterinary nutritionists, we created a food that makes it easier to give your dog better nutrition every day.”
Why better dog nutrition matters
True nutrition changes everything. A diet sourced from real, nutrient-rich foods is proven to improve lifespan and promote an array of lasting health benefits like:
Why kibble doesn't cut it
Mainstream kibble is engineered for shelf life, not nutrition. That means artificial additives, inflammatory ingredients, and high-heat processing that kills nutrients.
The Maev difference
No other food compares. Real ingredients rich with the essential vitamins, minerals, and the nutritional support your dog needs to live their healthiest life.

FAQ
FAQ
Why frozen?
Freezing is the most natural way to preserve the nutrients in fresh, whole ingredients—with no artificial preservatives. Maev Whole Ingredient Food is flash-frozen to lock in essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins, ensuring your dog gets the highest quality nutrition in every meal. Plus, frozen food helps improve dental health by naturally reducing plaque buildup.
Can I thaw the food?
Yes! While Maev recommends feeding frozen, you can definitely thaw your dog's portion to soften the texture if that is preferred. We recommend letting it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Is raw food safe?
Yes. Maev is human-grade, meaning Maev only sources USDA-certified proteins from USDA-inspected facilities—the same standards required for human food. Additionally, all of Maev’s ingredients undergo a proprietary safety process designed to mitigate any potential pathogens.
Maev works closely with trusted suppliers, accredited testing centers, leading universities, and industry experts to continuously uphold and improve our safety measures.
What's my dog's portion size?
Maev makes it easy. Your dog’s portion size depends on their weight, age, activity level, and health goals. Use the custom feeding calculator to get personalized recommendations based on your dog’s needs.

Portion Guide
What if my dog is a picky eater?
Having a picky eater is hard. With change, some dogs dive right in, while others take their time warming up to something new. If your dog is hesitant, try thawing the food for 10–15 minutes to soften the texture, mixing it with warm water, or adding their favorite treat on top. Maev recommends following the transition guide closely, and you can always reach out to the Maev Experts for additional tips and advice. Give it time—new routines take patience, and we’re here to help every step of the way.
