"Our cats love Viva! The quality of the food is amazing, from research to sourcing to production to shipping."

"Zach & Jenn have a tenacious and refreshing enthusiasm about the benefits and integrity of their cat food & it shows in what they’ve created."
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."
Dr. Laurie Coger
"One of the best foods you can give your pet! I am very impressed by Viva's commitment to quality ingredients."
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. I’m mixing with Alnutrin and salmon oil. 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 looking forward to the day when they offer complete meals for cats!
" 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."

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

FAQ
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 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 kitty's meals in our USDA kitchens. This means we're holding ourselves to the higher food safety standards required for human food. Everything is made in small batches (each package is hand-labeled & checked for quality), because your cat 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!
This will vary depending on your cat's size, activity level & age. On average, our food will cost $2.50 / day for a 10 lb 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 🙌
Our food is Complete & Balanced for cats (of all life stages). We worked with multiple vets & nutritionists to develop these recipes over the course of an entire year & 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 pup with superfoods like organic egg yolk or blue mussels. If you have additional questions, you can always reach out to our Nutrition Experts!
