My life-long dream has finally come true. I GOT A PUPPY!
Dogs have always been in my life — my family had a beloved mutt growing up — but I never had one to call my own. My new house has a backyard I can fill with pets. Our beautiful Roxy — a Golden Retriever puppy — was the first to join our pet family.
I was used to being the fun dog aunt, not a dog mom. But I’d never bought dog food before, so I went with the first wet food I found at the store. Initially, Roxy gobbled it up, so I kept picking up the branded wet food.
Then Roxy started having massive digestive issues. I noticed her energy levels dropped. The vet suggested that one of the reasons could be her food. I was shocked that what I’d been feeding her could be harmful. I automatically assumed I could trust the big-name brands. But little did I know, a lot of wet food is made from lower-quality meat, which has a very low digestibility rate. Digestibility is the food’s ability to deliver essential nutrients to the dog who is eating it, so if the quality of produce is low, it’ll take the dog much longer to digest.*
A healthy dog is a happy dog — and a happy dog mom. I wanted better for Roxy. Desperately searching for alternatives, Google led me to Maev — a vet-formulated, human-grade, protein-rich dog food. They provide a flash-frozen raw food diet with no fillers, additives, or synthetics.
Sure, Maev sounded great, but I was unconvinced. Is raw food suitable for dogs? And would Roxy enjoy frozen dog food? After what I’d been through with Roxy, I didn’t want to take any risks.
Research told me that raw food tops the dog nutrition pyramid. A Maev diet has a ton of benefits starting with the big 3: strengthened immune function, improved digestion, and oral health. Then there’s improved bowel health, balanced energy, a shinier & healthier coat, cleaner teeth, better weight control, and increased mobility in senior animals.
Since Maev’s food is frozen, it might force Roxy to eat more slowly, which can improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
I wondered if there’d be enough space in my freezer. Unlike canned brands, I can't store it in the corner beside the dishwasher. Luckily, Maev is super flexible. I can split my delivery to ship twice a month; add, swap, control deliveries, and unsubscribe any time.
I placed an order for their raw food Variety Pack. There are two flavors, chicken and beef. Specific instructions on the back of the bag tell you how to portion and serve depending on your pup’s age and size.
When our delivery arrived — adore the packaging! — I couldn’t wait to have Roxy try it. Maev advises mixing it with the old food for a week or two to ease the transition. Since it’s frozen, I simply open the bag, scoop a portion, and serve. This causes Roxy to chew and also hydrates her during the meal. Surprisingly, she snapped up all the bits of Maev food first.
It’s just over a month now and Roxy’s completely transformed. She devours her Maev meals. Her digestion is terrific, she’s stopped begging for treats, and her breath’s no longer stinky — fantastic.
Plus, I can see every single item she eats: colorful frozen cubes of USDA-certified Beef / Chicken Breast, USDA-certified Beef Liver / Chicken Liver, Green Beans, Zucchini, Blueberries, Kale, Peanut Butter, Omega 3, 6 Fish Oils, Beef Bone, and so much more.
The best part is that Maev’s Ph.D. vet formulated, which means dogs of all ages and stages get all the vitamins and minerals, macro and micronutrients they need. The promise of 100% transparency & traceability makes me trust Maev completely.
And great news! We'll be adopting a second puppy soon and will definitely be feeding them Maev from the start.
If your furry friend suffers from digestion issues, Maev’s the solution you've been searching for. Because every dog deserves to savor their meals. Every dog deserves Maev.
