Complete Recipes are complete and balanced to AAFCO guidelines for dogs. If you're new to raw feeding & have a dog, we highly recommend that you start here! You won't have to worry about toppers and supplementing your pup's meals—just thaw, portion & feed. If you're feeding a puppy, check out our Complete for Puppies—it's optimized for growth, including large breed puppies & will help start them off on the right paw! You can always reach out to our Nutrition Experts with additional questions or to ask for a customized feeding plan based on your pup's needs.
Pure Recipes are nutrient-dense & prey model-based at 80% muscle, 10% secreting organ, 10% bone with no added veggies or supplements. We recommend these for cats and ferrets with a pre-mix such as Alnutrin for Meat & Bone. These are also a great choice for picky palates, sensitivities, or pet parents looking to build their own meals!

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. 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 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.

The best dog food
It is a week so far with Viva raw and my dog has more energy, she was also suffering from hot spots and everything is looking way better. She is a very picky girl and with this food she eats it all.
The BEST food that we feel good about feeding to our dogs
One of our dogs has been regurgitating food since adopted (even on good quality freeze-dried food), but as soon as we switched their food to VIVA RAW PETS food, it STOPPED completely. Their food is so pure, clean, and easily digestible. For me, food is medicine
Our boys are thriving!
Our little Chewi was suffering from hair loss and his butt was almost completely bare. After starting him on Viva Raw his coat is coming back and he’s the fluffiest he’s ever been. What a difference your complete ground beef has made. Thank you Viva!
We've answered a few common questions right here. If you don't find what you're looking for, check out our FAQs or reach out to us.
We're proud to be sourcing high quality, USDA human-grade ingredients from smaller farms. These are the same farms that stock your local Whole Foods & favorite restaurants. We hold our suppliers to the same Viva standard that we practice ourselves, and are proud to be supporting local businesses & farms whenever possible.
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.
Feeding amounts are based on your pet's weight, age, and activity level. Check out our calculator to determine your pet's customized feeding recommendations with Viva.
If you're new to our food or have a picky eater, then we recommend getting Ground since it will be easier to to mix and portion. If you're comfortably feeding Viva, then we encourage trying the Chunked! Chunk sizes are 1-2 inches in size and are a great choice if your pet prefers more texture, for hand-feeding, or even if you're just curious what's in your pet's food! We've had pets of all sizes, including cats & ferrets do great on our chunky blend 💜

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

"Viva Raw has been a pleasure to work with. Their communication is amazing and my cats go nuts for their product."
