Maxbone Review

The pet food and supplies market has increasingly grown in the pandemic era. Many people started working from home spending more time with their pets. Others decided to adopt one or more furry friends to share their time. 

Now, one of the most common concerns among pet owners is what to feed their pets. After several recalls issued by commercial food companies linked to pet food adulteration, people are demanding healthier options for their four-legged pals. 

Resembling the boutique wellness meals noshed on by LA’s finest, Maxbone’s pet meals, toppers, and treats are carefully crafted with nutrient-dense, human-grade ingredients and wear the gluten-free and grain-free seals of approval. 

Maxbone is also known for its trendy pet clothing and carriers, so it’s no surprise that its social media pages boast a combined 217k followers. The number of mentions this company has in popular publications like Forbes, Goop, and The New York Times is truly phenomenal.

Though we’re obsessed with its adorable pet apparel and accessories, in this Maxbone review, our focus will be on its nutritious pet food. We’ll give you the scoop on best-sellers, feedback, and promotions so you walk away knowing exactly what this wellness-driven brand is all about.

Maxbone Review

Pop onto the brand’s website and you’ll find that most of its inventory is geared towards fashionable apparel for your fluffy pal, along with functional accessories to make your pet’s life easier. Of course, looking good has a lot to do with feeling good, so it only makes sense that the brand also offers a line of meals, supplements, and treats.

We’ll focus on its pet food in the next section of this Maxbone review. We’ll run you through a variety of its flavors while highlighting ingredients and functionality to give you an idea of what each meal can offer.

Maxbone Review

If you’re looking for nutrient-driven meals for your dog, then you’ve come to the right place. When Maxbone created its line for pups, it made sure to use both whole meat and superfoods to create balanced, goodness-packed dishes like the ones you choose for yourself.

Each meal comes packaged in an adorable, lightweight, travel-friendly bag. Just by looking at the eye-pleasing range of neutral and pastel hues, you can tell this company pays attention to every detail.

Whether you choose turkey, lamb, beef, or one of the other dog-friendly flavors, you’ll find more protein than what other brands offer. Plus, because they’re freeze-dried, the processing is kept to a minimum. Traditional foods lose some of their nutritional value when cooked, so with Maxbone’s dishes, your pup gets the full range of nutrients.

Though they’re all grain-free, gluten-free, and made with human-grade ingredients, save these for your pup. Each flavor has been expertly formulated by veterinary nutritionists. 

According to the AFFCO, human-grade ingredients are those that meet the standards to be safely consumed by humans. For a product to be considered edible for humans, all of its ingredients must pass manufacturing, packing, and storage inspections in compliance with federal regulations.

Wondering why MaxBone formulates their products without grains? In a recent review in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, grains in pet food have been related to mycotoxin contamination. However, proper safety control methods are rigorously applied to minimize contamination risks. 

Another research paper shows that gluten-free products are in high demand among pet owners, but the prevalence of celiac disease or gluten intolerance is very low among canines. We suggest talking to your vet if you think your pet may have food intolerances. 

In the next section of our Maxbone review, we’ll introduce you to its best-sellers from its complete line of meals, toppers, and treats. Once you and your fluffy friend fall in love Maxbone, subscribe to recurring deliveries to save 15%.

Maxbone Turkey Meal Review

For the Maxbone Glow Up Turkey Meal, it’s all about great skin and a flawless coat. Made with both farm-raised turkey meat and turkey liver, your pup will enjoy an iron-rich dish that’s bursting with antioxidants and superfoods like cranberries, blueberries, and sweet potato.

While antioxidants work as natural preservatives, superfoods provide health benefits beyond their nutritional properties.

With added chia seeds, fish oil, and coconut oil for a glossy coat, this freeze-dried meal meets the nutritional needs set out by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages. 

A recent article highlights that omega-3 and 6 fatty acids are essential to a dog’s diet. These polyunsaturated fatty acids were found to improve dogs’ skin and coat. 

As described in a review published in the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association, omega-3 fatty acids have also been found to protect dogs’ renal function. Moreover, fish oils appear to have antiarrhythmic properties and prevent the loss of muscle in dogs with congestive heart failure.

Feed your pup what they’re really craving with a 16 oz bag of the Maxbone Glow Up Turkey Meal for $34.

Maxbone Beef Meal Review

Beef is incredibly wholesome meat. Your dog will get whole meat pieces in the Maxbone Muscle Up Beef Meal, along with vitamin-rich sweet potato, broccoli, spinach, blueberries, and mineral-packed seaweed.

One of our favorite things about this meal is that it uses six different parts of beef, including bone, fat, kidney, heart, and stomach to provide a range of proteins, minerals, and vitamins. 

Freeze-dried into tasty nuggets of goodness, this grain-free meal is specially made to promote healthy digestion, energy, and immunity. You can mix the nuggets with water, serve them on their own, or use them as treats.

Even though it has fish oil and dried seaweed, the Muscle Up Beef Meal is odorless and clean. It won’t leave a scent or residue on your hands if you find your scoop has gone missing.

Give your dog the benefit of a truly nutritious Beef Meal with a 16 oz bag for $34.

Maxbone Energy Lamb Meal Topper Review

Struggling to get your pup to eat? The Maxbone Energy Lamb Meal Topper is a tasty addition that helps. With wholesome, nourishing ingredients, your dog will reap the benefits of nutrient-dense seaweed (rich in proteins), broccoli, kale, sweet potatoes, and blueberries as they nosh on their new favorite dish.

Formulated with coconut oil for a healthy source of medium-chain triglycerides, the topper is freeze-dried to lock in flavor and nourishment. It’s made specifically for dogs that need extra energy or are struggling to eat kibble or fresh pet food.

You can get a 6 oz bag of the Energy Lamb Meal Topper for $24.

Maxbone Wellness Duck & Cod Meal Topper Review

Duck is like a delicacy for your pup. Rich and hearty, the Maxbone Wellness Duck & Cod Meal Topper is the perfect addition to existing diets that need a nutrient boost.

Free from grains and gluten, the topper is freeze-dried to pack in goodness from cage-free duck, cod, and a melange of vitamin-drenched veggies like broccoli, spinach, seaweed, and sweet potato. Chia and blueberries are added as potent sources of healthy fats and antioxidants.

Great for dogs of all ages, try out a 6 oz bag for $24.

Maxbone Peanut Butter And Jelly Treats Review

You love PB&J and so does your dog. Baked with love in small batches, these delicious treats are made with human-grade ingredients sourced from sustainable suppliers. There are just four ingredients in the Maxbone Peanut Butter and Jelly Treats:

All there for flavor, but also for a purpose. As a concentrated source of antioxidants, blueberries are an essential part of keeping your pup healthy. Chia seeds are praised for their body and brain-boosting benefits thanks to omega-3s, and oat flour keeps these treats wheat, soy, and corn-free. 

Remember: experts recommend limiting treats to less than 10% of your dog’s diet.

Crunchy and nutritious, pick up a 5 oz bag of the Peanut Butter and Jelly Treats for $18.

Maxbone Rubber Travel Bowl Review

Having the right supplies on the road is critical. Exactly which cross-body bags have room for a traditional dog bowl?

The Maxbone Rubber Travel Bowl measures 5” x 5”, collapses into a flat disk, and has a carabiner attached. Clip it to your dog’s leash, to the outside of your purse, or throw it in your tote so you’ll always be prepared.

Made from rubber, the bowl is sturdy and cleans easily. Grab one for your next adventure for $18. It comes in five pretty colors like lavender, peach, and mint to keep things classy.

Who Is Maxbone For?

Its meals, supplements, and treats are grain-free, gluten-free, and packed with vitamin and mineral-rich vegetables from sustainable sources. They’re always crafted with human-grade, whole food ingredients, too.

Ideal for picky pups, Maxbone meals are pet-approved and gobbled up with delight.

Maxbone Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

Maxbone Review

Since no Maxbone review would be complete without hearing from customers, in this section, that’s precisely what we’ll do. We’ll take a look at ratings and comments from around the web to find out if the brand’s pet food is really pup-approved.

Our first stop was Maxbone.com. We put together a list of ratings for some of the brand’s best-sellers to give you an idea of how they’re enjoyed overall.

  • Peanut Butter and Jelly Treats: 4.9/5 stars from 18 reviews
  • Wellness Duck & Cod Meal Topper: 4.8/5 stars from 13 reviews
  • Energy Lamb Meal Topper: 5/5 stars from 7 reviews
  • Beef Meal: 4.9/5 stars from 31 reviews
  • Turkey Meal: 5/5 stars from 22 reviews

Looking into the comments section for the Turkey Meal, we found that customers use it to add flavor to dry kibble and as a boost of nutrients. Overall, it received a flawless score. Here’s one Maxbone review that told us why:

Joey is a picky eater with a sensitive stomach and wasn’t really eating her food…She was starting to lose weight from not eating enough, but once she had Maxbone Turkey, she was hooked! Now she wolfs it down in a few bites and her poopies are much smaller!

No one likes to talk about poop, but since you’re (hopefully) picking it up off the street, you most likely have come to know your dog’s stool very well. Experts say that larger stool size is associated with a poor, bulky diet. Smaller dog poop indicates a more nutrient-dense diet that’s properly absorbed during digestion.

Setting out in search of more feedback, since Maxbone is mostly known for its clothing and carrier bags, the majority of comments online weren’t for its pet food line. Normally, we like to find sources with an ample amount of feedback to give you an accurate depiction of the brand, but this just wasn’t possible outside of Maxbone.com

We hit up Chewy.com, a partner store that sells a few Maxbone items in search of feedback, and found a 4/5 star score for the Restore Salmon Meal. So far, only one person has reviewed the meal. Here’s what they had to say:

I tried this flaky powder for my three dogs when they started getting bored with their daily meals. I’ve been sprinkling a smallish amount on their Fresh Pet and now they devour it. Did not affect sensitive stomachs.

Even though this is just one comment, it speaks volumes in terms of the taste of Maxbone’s meals. Fresh pet food isn’t something a lot of dogs enjoy. Normally, it takes them time to adjust to new flavors and textures. 

The fact that these poodles scarf down another brand’s fresh meals now sprinkled with Maxbone means it obviously tastes better. Though, it does beg the question: why not just switch to Maxbone?

Our last bit of feedback comes from the brand’s Facebook page. A lot of the comments there were in regards to its apparel line, but we did find one Maxbone review that mentioned overall service. It read:

Everything is great quality, and very stylish. They ship in a decent amount of time. I have contacted customer service a couple of times, both by phone and by email, and they are always nice, knowledgeable, and helpful!

Ordering anything online can be frustrating. You just want the process to be as simple as possible with customer service that helps when it’s needed. From this review, it sounds like Maxbone makes it that way. 

In terms of red flags, none were raised high in the feedback available online. In the end, the reviews we found for Maxbone pet food specifically were very positive

Dogs respond well to the food and enjoy the flavors. There doesn’t appear to be that adjustment period found with other brands of fresh pet food.

Is Maxbone Worth It?

Maxbone Review

Our dogs are our babies. That’s why we fuss and fret over them and buy them the best of the best. It’s important to give them fun toys and protective clothing too, but in the grand scheme of things, along with love and shelter, nutritious food is the #1 way we can help them feel their best.

Nutrient-dense, grain-free meals are part of the trendy food movement, but in terms of health, they’re more than a trend. An important part of your dog’s health, feeding them the right way can make a world of difference in their energy, comfort, and happiness.

We think Maxbone dog food is worth it for a number of reasons, and that includes the quality of the food itself, the sustainable, wholesome ingredients it uses, and the fact that dogs seem to love the flavors.
