🐶 Clean Bowl Guarantee: If your pup doesn't eat every last bite of their first order, we'll refund it!
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.
Butters loves Viva
We've been on over a dozen different foods, including the "prescription" foods that were tried in haste. After much research, we stumbled upon VIVA and WOW, GAME CHANGER! The food is beautifully fresh, neatly packaged, great communication with the company, we couldn't be happier. We are with VIVA for life!
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!
" 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."
Leigh W
"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-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 dog'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 pup's size, activity level & age. On average, our food will cost $5-7 / day for a 30lb dog if you are feeding a variety of our proteins. To determine your exact costs, we recommend filling out our short quiz for your pup.
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 Complete for Puppies instead for optimized nutrition during the growth stage! You can always reach out to our Nutrition Experts with additional questions or to ask for a customized feeding plan.
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 $10-20 depending on your zone.
We ship orders M-W each week and you'll receive a tracking number once your package ships! We always ship out orders the next available shipping day.
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)!
