meals that vets choose for their own pets 💜

Dr. Barbara Royal

Viva has been a welcome addition to the pet food market. Zach and Jenn have a tenacious and refreshing enthusiasm about the benefits and integrity of their dog and cat foods, and it shows in what they’ve created.

I really appreciate being able to add their products to our list pet foods that I recommend to my clients.

Dr. Judy Morgan

Our dogs love Viva!

The quality of the food is amazing, from research to sourcing to production to shipping.

We are so happy this food is available nationwide; as our clients span the country, we are happy to have high-quality food we can recommend.

Dr. Laurie Coger

One of the best foods you can give your dog! I am very impressed by Viva's commitment to quality ingredients.

I love the availability of both complete and prey model formulations. Best of all is their chunked option. This offering is unique to Viva, and one of the reasons I choose it for my own dogs.

Dr. Odette Suter

I like Viva because they not only care about the pets who eat the food, but also how the "ingredients" were raised.  They make an effort to be as green and earth friendly as possible. The product itself looks really fresh and I'm happy that my local pet store is carrying their food so I can recommend it to my clients.

more energy

Fresh, high protein diets helps maintain stable energy levels through the day—from napping on the couch to zoomies in the park

cleaner teeth

Our food never contains any starchy fillers or grains. Without this sugary fuel, tartar-causing bacteria dies off. The result? Pearly whites

healthy skin & coat

Natural fats and oils will support your pet’s coat health. Fresh diets also help pets that have itchy skin caused by sugar loving yeast & bacteria.

firmer poops

Bear with me, this is important! Your pets absorb more nutrients from raw. What doesn't get digested is smaller, firmer, and way less smelly.

Levi always had digestive issues; diarrhea and would often get sick in the morning. I'm now 4+ months into a raw feeding diet and Levi has not been sick once! While it is pricier than traditional kibble, giving my dog a diet with ingredients that I know and can recognize is worth the extra money.

Happy dog!

Scout has been on Viva Raw Pure Duck for the past week. He is doing a short period of an elimination diet, and we chose duck as his novel protein to help identify some food sensitivities (if any) due to some intense and persistent itching he has had since a young puppy. He LOVES it, and so do I!

My 10 year old Pomeranian has been brought back to life! What is most fascinating is my Pomeranians teeth. Her gums were always red and irritated and her breath smelled like death. In just one week her breath had no scent.The attached pictures were taken one month apart, before raw and after raw.

The kitties love Viva Raw!

My kitties love the turkey and, especially, the rabbit. It arrives perfectly frozen and nicely packaged. We've all been very happy with Viva Raw! Here they are waiting for their breakfast of Viva Raw rabbit.

Awesome!!

My 6 month old 28lb puppy Maggie has been on the raw diet for 2 months now. The changes are incredible. She no longer has dry skin, drinks less water, and smaller less smelly poops. Every where I go, I get compliments on her EXTREMELY shiny coat. WELL WORTH THE MONEY

Your Pet, Our Family

In 2020, we quit our jobs in the middle of the pandemic to start a pet food company. We wanted to give our dog the best life possible and help other pet parents do the same.
