Recipes
Which Maev recipes are listed?
Maev lists Raw at 1,030 kcal ME per kg as fed and USDA Beef at 1,100. These are frozen raw foods, so plan for freezer storage rather than cupboard storage.
USDA Chicken Breast appears in the chicken ingredient list; Maev’s chicken text states 1,030 kcal/kg. The beef recipe has no open price in the checked listings.
Beef has more calories per gram than Raw, so the same calorie target needs a smaller portion.

Cost for your dog
What does Maev cost per day?
Using the Maev subscription listing dated above, the estimated daily cost runs from $5.65 for a 10 lb adult to $28.52 for a 60 lb active adult. The 30 lb adult costs about $433 a month.
The 4-month, 15 lb puppy estimate is $17.24 a day. These are calorie-based calculations, not Maev’s advertised daily headline price. Tax and shipping are excluded unless included by the brand.
Body weight, activity and life stage change the daily cost substantially.

How ordering works
How does the subscription work?
How the plan is set
“Choose protein, portion, and delivery frequency tailored specifically to your dog.”meetmaev.com
First box
“13% off with subscription”meetmaev.com
Delivery
“Free shipping on orders over $249. All shipments insured.”meetmaev.com
Pause or cancel
“Pause, cancel, or modify your subscription any time.”meetmaev.com
Maev says to choose protein, portion and delivery frequency for your dog. Its subscription example is 20 lb every 4 weeks. The advertised “13% off with subscription” should not be treated as an additional first-box-only reduction.
Maev says subscriptions can be paused, canceled or modified anytime. For order changes, its help center directs customers to the Care Team, generally at least 3 days before the next shipment.
Subscription flexibility applies before shipment; Maev says placed orders cannot be changed or canceled.
Delivery and storage
How is Maev delivered and stored?
Maev says it delivers frozen food and insures all shipments. Its dated shipping terms offer free shipping on orders over $249. The help center covers packaging, shipping regions and timelines, but the checked text does not identify delivery areas or packaging materials.
Keep freezer space available. Maev describes flash-freezing as its preservation method and says the food can be served frozen, thawed or gently warmed.
This is a frozen delivery product, not a shelf-stable bag of food.

On the label
What does the label establish?
The checked Raw and USDA Beef label entries give calories as fed, but neither states a life stage or provides an AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement in the checked text.
Maev lists chicken breast, chicken liver and chicken gizzard alongside potato, vegetables, blueberries and peanut butter in its chicken ingredients. An ingredient list alone does not establish suitability for a particular life stage.
Use the calorie figure for portion arithmetic; ask your vet about puppy or medical-diet suitability.
| Recipe | Calories (as fed) | Life stage | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw | 1,030 kcal/kg | not stated | Raw |
| USDA Beef | 1,100 kcal/kg | not stated | Raw |
Ingredients: “USDA Chicken Breast, USDA Chicken Liver, USDA Chicken Gizzard, Blanched Potato, Green Bean, Zucchini, Kale, Blueberry, Peanut Butter…”
Owners and recalls
What do reviews and recall searches show?
On October 21, 2026, Trustpilot rated Maev 4.1 out of 5, labeled “Great.” The review count was not visible to the reader script.
A search of fda.gov that day found no recall notice naming Maev. That is a search result, not a guarantee that no recall has occurred.
The Trustpilot rating describes owner feedback; the recall search answers a separate, limited question.
Same dog, other brands
How do other brands compare?
For the same 30 lb adult, Viva Raw Beef for Dogs comes to $9.59 a day at its brand-store catalog price, versus Maev Raw’s $14.25 subscription estimate. Both prices were checked October 21, 2026. Viva’s higher calorie density means fewer grams are needed.
The We Feed Raw and Darwin’s rows use their brands’ body-weight rules, not matched calories. Those lower figures are not calorie-equivalent comparisons. See Viva Raw’s pricing and label.
Compare calorie-matched rows first; body-weight feeding rules measure something different.
| Brand and recipe | Type | Grams a day | Per day | Per month | Price basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| We Feed Raw Beef | Raw | 272–408 g* | $5.33–8.00 | $162–243 | Lowest plan price: “Plans start at $8.89/pound” |
| Darwin's Natural Selections Chicken | Raw | 272–408 g* | $5.62–8.43 | $171–256 | Catalog price for 2 lb |
| Viva Raw Beef for Dogs | Raw | 527 g | $9.59 | $292 | Catalog price for 2 lb |
| Maev Raw | Raw | 722 g | $14.25 | $433 | Subscription price; one-time $206 |
| Smallbatch Pork Sliders Freeze-Dried Raw | Freeze-dried | 155 g | $14.45 | $439 | Catalog price on the brand store |

| Maev USDA Beef | Raw | 676 g | — | — | no open price |
By the brand’s 2–3% of body weight rule: no calorie figure on the label, not comparable with the calorie-based rows.
Who it fits
Who might Maev suit?
Maev offers an open Raw price, published calories and subscription controls. It is also sold in stores, so delivery is not the only purchase route.
It may suit owners who can store frozen food and budget for the calculated daily portion. Owners needing explicit life-stage confirmation should resolve that before ordering, especially for puppies.
The practical fit depends on freezer space, daily cost and confirmed suitability for your dog.

Questions
Maev: short answers
How much Maev raw dog food should a dog eat?
The 30 lb adult estimate is 722 g a day, using 744 kcal and Maev Raw’s label calories. FEDIAF, AAHA and WSAVA methods give a calorie range of 694–794 for that dog. Read how portions are calculated; weigh your dog monthly and adjust.
Is Maev raw dog food frozen?
Yes. Maev describes its food as flash-frozen and delivered frozen. The brand says it can be served frozen, thawed or gently warmed.
Can puppies eat Maev?
The puppy cost calculation estimates a portion; it does not establish nutritional suitability. Ask your vet before choosing it for a puppy, particularly a large-breed puppy.
Do Maev reviews prove it suits my dog?
No. An owner rating cannot establish nutritional suitability or the portion your dog needs. Check the recipe’s label, calculate the daily amount and consider storage and ongoing cost separately.
