When I discovered MAEV back in 2023
When I discovered MAEV back in 2023, I knew it would be a good decision for my pack. I have 4 full grown German Shepherds. Commercial dog food is practically poison if you read the labels, and I was struggling with keeping them on a clean raw diet (it's a lot of chopping!) So, I was thrilled to find a proper raw diet for them that could be delivered ready to go! Fast forward more than two years now, and I must say that this has been THE BEST decision of my life. My dogs are thriving! My oldest, who turns 12 this month has truly aged backwards and she runs circles around the younger ones! They ALL have the best breath and shiniest of coats, and their "waste" always looks dark, healthy and uniform every time. And the best part...? This company's customer service and support is honestly the best I have ever experienced. They are responsive and bend over backwards to take care of their customer. THANK YOU to the founders of MAEV, for seeing a real need out here for our four-legged family members, and putting it all together for us! UPDATE: After publishing my review (and this is the first one I’ve ever written), I went into the Trustpilot app and read all of the other reviews. That endeavor prompted me to edit and add something to my review, and this is what I will say… Each and EVERY “negative review” that I read, spoke about receiving thawed or partially thawed out product. Most complained about the “bloody mess,” some complained about the refreezing into a block, and a couple even had the audacity to claim that their dog would not eat it. (Ha! I called BS on that last one.) I would be willing bet my own life that there isn’t a dog alive who wouldn’t eat this food when it was thawed out! Mine love it when it’s thawed out! Are you kidding me?? Yes, it is messy. It’s raw meat for crying out loud. (So are steaks.) I know this happens occasionally, because it gets hot in Southern California and Sometimes the shipping company does not put enough dry ice in my boxes. But I can tell you this: MAEV always replaces whatever I ask them to replace. Now, personally, I always still use or re-freeze the thawed dog food because it doesn’t “go bad” if it thaws out in transit. It still always arrives cold. And I have never once even thought to ask for a refund. I would call that double dipping. And only greedy people do that. This company is exceptional every way. And my dogs will be customers for the rest of their lives. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Stay blessed.
