Maev, tennis star partner to highlight raw nutrition for dogs


Based in Austin, Texas, U.S., Maev, featuring human-grade raw dog food, vitamins, and toppers, has announced a new partnership with tennis star Jessica Pegula to highlight the importance of high-quality nutrition for dogs. Pegula, ranked #5 by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), is well known for her athletic discipline and love for dogs, and she now lends her support to Maev’s mission of providing premium pet nutrition.

“I take my nutrition seriously,” said Pegula. “I fuel my body with whole, high-quality ingredients — so why wouldn’t I do the same for my dogs? That’s why I feed them Maev. I’ve seen incredible improvements in their digestion, skin and coat health, dental health and energy levels.”

Pegula’s commitment to pet care extends beyond her own pets; together with her husband, she co-founded A Lending Paw, a nonprofit focused on rescuing, training and placing service dogs with individuals in need.

“Every athlete knows that winning isn’t just about what you do on the court; it’s about the consistency, devotion, and fuel you put in off the court,” said Katie Spies, founder and CEO of Maev. “Jessica knows the importance of daily nutrition, not just for herself, but for her dogs. We’re excited to collaborate with her to demonstrate that diet is the most important choice you can make for your dog’s day-to-day and long-term health.”

According to Petfood Industry, Maev is the first and only human-grade raw food for dogs. Founded in 2019 by Katie Spies, an MIT engineer and dog parent, the brand’s mission is to formulate easy-to-feed, efficacious daily nutrition. With the help of PhD veterinary nutritionists, Spies formulated Raw Food, Supplement Bars, Bone Broth Topper and Freeze-Dried Treats made with whole foods and super nutrients to elevate the daily rituals of dog care and fill every bowl with maximum nutrition.
