Yes. Our Raw Food is PhD-Vet Formulated, USDA-Certified, AAFCO-Approved, Human-Grade, and rigorously tested for E.coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and Micro (APCs). Your dog is biologically primed to eat and absorb their daily intake of nutrients from a diet of raw meat. Unlike humans, your dog has a shorter gastrointestinal tract with higher levels of acidity which neutralizes any bad bacteria. (Also, contaminants cannot survive hostile, frozen states.) Oh, and if you're worried about cross-contamination after your dog eats raw meat and comes over to kiss you, don’t stress! Their saliva contains lysozyme — an enzyme that neutralizes bad bacteria.

It’s better — for a few reasons.

1. It’s higher in protein than other “better-for-you” options like fresh or DIY home cooked.
2. Unlike fresh, Maev does not utilize additives, fillers, synthetics, or high heat degradation of nutrients. Maev is made and served Raw while Fresh is highly processed and cooked using high heat temperatures.
3. Most dog parents see, feel, and smell benefits — like a softer/ shinier coat, balanced energy, regular BMs, and better breath — in 28 days or less.
4. It’s frozen for optimal nutrient absorption. (Fresh foods can still be highly processed and cooked at high heat temperatures which degrade nutrient values.) Because we freeze our key ingredients at approximately -14°F, smaller ice crystals form (which helps prevent moisture loss) to better protect the cell membrane of our whole ingredients. Your dog receives a fresher, cleaner feeding experience as well as better nutrient absorption during digestion. Plus, the frozen texture helps remove plaque buildup on teeth to support their oral health (and promote better breath).
5. It’s easier. Unlike labor-intensive home cooked foods and stinky, hard-to-unpack-and-plate fresh, Maev comes bite-sized and ready to eat. No mess, no prep, no thawing necessary. Just open, pour, serve, and repeat.

Yes — for a few reasons. Kibble, dehydrated, and most fresh dog foods rely on binders (like carbohydrates) and preservatives to keep their foods shelf-stable (have next year’s expiration date). They also tend to be highly processed — they rely on high heat temperatures which degrade nutrient values and absorption of key vitamins, minerals, and macro and micro nutrients. Maev, on the other hand, is made with 11 straightforward ingredients (including USDA lean proteins, whole fruits and vegetables, and scientifically studied supplements). It’s frozen at approximately -14°F, forming smaller ice crystals (which helps prevent moisture loss) to better protect the cell membrane of our whole ingredients. Plus, the frozen texture helps remove plaque buildup on teeth to support their oral health (and promote better breath).
