Our Dog and Cat recipes are complete & balanced—all you need to do is thaw & feed! We always recommend starting with those if you are new to raw—we worked with multiple vets & nutritionists to develop these recipes & lab-tested over 50 unique whole food ingredients in the process. This rigorous process at Viva is to ensure that our meals not only meet minimum nutrient requirements, but go above and beyond to improve the overall health of your pet with superfoods like shiitake mushrooms or blue mussels.Our Pure recipes are prey model-based base mixes (80% muscle, 10% secreting organ, 10% bone) with no added veggies or supplements—you will need to supplement these meals to ensure they are complete & balanced. They are perfect for pets with allergies or sensitivities, picky pets who required limited ingredient diets, or just pet parents who prefer to build their own custom meals! You can always reach out to our Nutrition Experts with additional questions about how to balance these recipes.

Our cats 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. 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. 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.
Dr. Laurie Coger
One of the best foods you can give your cat! 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 cats.

Cat loves it!
My 6 months old ragdoll absolutely loves his raw diet so much! I bought beef, duck and rabbit for him, he can always finish his meal in two minutes!!! Delivery is super fast too! I live in the bay area, I submit an order on Monday and get the food on Wednesday!
Kitten loves Viva!
He absolutely loves Viva Raw! Even the beef, which I thought maybe he wouldn’t like. He’s a great eater! Now at almost 6 months, his fur is so soft and shiny because of being on a raw diet. The meat is very fresh, well packaged, and came completely frozen.
Raw Rabbit and Duck for the win!
I was so happy to find Viva! Our cats LOVE the rabbit—it disappears in two seconds flat they love it so much. I will continue to feed Viva and am so happy they now offer complete meals for cats!
We're proud to be sourcing high quality, USDA-inspected meat from smaller farms. These are the same farms that stock your local Whole Foods & favorite restaurants. We only work with farms that never administer hormones & antibiotics (a huge step up from conventional) & are certified humane through third-party audits like G.A.P. or the American Humane Program. By not relying on chemicals, our farmers focus on providing high quality food and a clean environment to raise healthy, happy animals.
We grind, mix & package all of your pup's meals in our kitchens—where we are the first and only pet food made in our facility that also produces human food. And you better believe we’re proud of it. Everything is made in small batches (each package is hand-labeled & checked for quality) and tested for pathogens, because your pup deserves the freshest food from farm-to-bowl.
Feeding amounts are based on your cat's weight, age, and activity level. We recommend checking out our calculator to determine your pet's personalized feeding recommendations using Viva—we worked closely with our nutritionists & used the latest research to develop these!
On average, our food will cost $2.50 / day for a 10lb cat if you are feeding a variety of our proteins. To determine your exact costs, we recommend filling out our short quiz for your kitty.
Nope! Just thaw and feed 🙌

" I can’t wait to order more! This was seriously the best raw-grind I’ve gotten my hands on. "

"Kayla absolutely loves her whole rabbit grind. I add it to Dr. Harvey’s Paradigm base mix to ensure she gets a nutritionally complete diet. When she had bloodwork drawn before her eye surgery, the results were the best they’d ever been."
Leigh W
"Viva Raw has been a pleasure to work with. Their communication is amazing and my cats go nuts for their product."
