Maev, the woman-owned, human-grade raw dog food brand, recently launched a puppy-specific formula. Maev’s Puppy formula is specially designed for the nutritional needs of puppies, combining balanced whole foods (from sweet potato and green beans to blueberries and eggs), proteins, and targeted supplements to support digestion and early development, including cognition, vision, bone development, and muscle growth.
Maev's Puppy formula is flash-frozen to support plaque removal and dental hygiene. In addition to daily food, Maev offers freezer-friendly Bone Broth Toppers, which support joint and bone health, and Vitamin Bars, designed to supplement your dog’s nutritional blind spots in one easy bite.
Consumers can purchase Maev latest offering online. In addition, just in time for the holidays, the brand is launching an easy giftable subscription, so you can give pup parents delicious and nutritious food delivered straight to their doorstep for up to 3-months.
