meals that vets choose for their own pups 💜
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. 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.
helping your dog live forever, one bowl at a time
why viva works:
Skin & Coat
"We've had skin issues for a long time—we've tried multiple rounds on medications but nothing worked. But 1 month after starting on Viva, look at the difference!"
"Viva literally made the difference. His hair is growing back and his condition is a night and day difference."
"Before feeding Viva, we struggled with yeast. Absolutely NOTHING I did was working. This is after less than TWO MONTHS on Viva 😭🙏🏼"
Weight Control
"Almost completely transitioned off of kibble. Lumps are fading😭❤️🙏"
"He is finally gaining some weight and filling out some, he’s always been very lean."
Higher Energy
"It has now been an entire year of feeding Hunter Viva Raw. His coat is shinier and softer than ever. He is more energetic than any dog we’ve ever met!"
"My dog has more energy, she was also suffering from hot spots and everything is looking way better."
Dental Health
"Her gums were always red and irritated and her breath smelled like death. In just one week her breath had no scent."
without starchy fillers, our food reduces yeast & bacteria that feed on simple sugars

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!

frequently asked questions
Where does Viva source from & how is the food made?
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.
How much should I feed my dog & how much will it cost?
Feeding amounts are based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. We recommend checking outto 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 $6-7 / day for a 30lb dog if you are feeding a variety of our proteins. To determine your exact costs, we recommend filling out ourfor your pup.
Do I need to add anything to your food?
Nope! Just thaw and feed 🙌
Our food is Complete & Balanced for adult dogs. 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 shiitake mushrooms or mussels.
If you're feeding a puppy (< 1 year old), check out our recipe for Puppies instead for optimized nutrition during the growth stage! You can always reach out to our Nutrition Experts with additional questions.
Should I get my food chunked or ground?
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 💜
How much is shipping & when do you ship orders?
We ship to all of the US & offer FREE shipping for all orders over $250! (not applicable to Alaska, Hawaii & certain areas of Texas & Montana due to coverage). For orders under $250, we offer a flat-fee rate between $15-20 depending on your zone.
Your order may ship any day between M-W each week and you'll receive a tracking number once your package ships! Please only reach out to us if you don't have a tracking number by Thursday. Orders placed after midnight EST on Tuesday will ship the following week.
Do I need to subscribe?
Nope, not at all! While we recommend subscribing so that your shipments come automatically & you never run out of food, you can always order one-time boxes too (just choose this option on the confirmation page)!
