My vet recommended a raw diet for my buddy’s constipation and intestinal issues. He loves the raw rabbit diet. He’s lost weight and his constipation issues are better. He seems to be more comfortable (meaning less intestinal issues). He has become more active because he feels better. Thank you and keep up the good work!
I was very hesitant about going raw. It’s just so easy to dump the burned brown bits into a bowl and call it a day. However, when - in the space of one year - I had one of my dogs get diagnosed with diabetes, one diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, and another get hospitalized for severe muscle pain and back issues, (plus the nearly $5000 in vet bills for their care) I decided it was time to try something new. I won’t lie. It is an expensive transition, but I believe it’s been the right choice for my furry family. My previously picky pooches love their meals, and I love that their previously “dead” diet is now a healthy, protein focused more natural version of what their bodies were intended to eat. I did a LOT of research to find this good quality sourced high protein option, and their website does an excellent job with transparency regarding their products. The ingredient lists and sourcing are clear and concise. With raw food I do have to be particular about handling the meat, but no more than I would with the meat we eat. I also wash their bowls after each meal, so I have added a few new habits. But - my dog with the autoimmune disorder is in remission. My other pup’s diabetes is under control, and my senior pup’s back pain is no longer an issue. I don’t know how much of that is due to the diet changes, but it makes sense - garbage in; garbage out! Thanks Viva!
I cooked them in a skillet 4 my and she gets one puptainer a day she gets one container a day as she is a german sherd
I’ve been using Viva Raw for about 2 years. I’ve been a raw feeder for over 20 years and this is an excellent quality food. I like the finely chopped veggies and added supplements to the meat; my dogs digest this easily! Their customer service is top notch as well and they are quick to respond to any questions or needs.
Love that I dont need a subscription to buy from this company, and I can get fresh cat and dog food.
Like that it is mostly meat, the veggie mix does not overtake the proteins. You get ground bone in with meat so no worries of sharp pieces and you get chunked or ground.
My 3 cats and dog love these meals!
Tiger Lily and Binx have been enjoying their rabbit and duck meals from Viva Raw for almost 2 years now. Finding a raw they enjoy without my having to make it has been a struggle and I'm so happy to have found Viva Raw. My cats have been the healthiest they have been in their 10 years of life so far and big part of that is thanks to Viva Raw.
We just received our first order so not much experience yet. We started with the Chicken recipe and both cats are very enthusiastic about it! 🙏 They are only eating about an ounce a day while transitioning. We are planning on feeding at least 50-75% Viva Raw mixed with a high quality dehydrated option. I am finding the Viva Raw site easy to navigate and managing our next box has been a breeze.
I decided to try Viva on the advice of my vet. I've tried other brands and my dogs were not impressed. With Viva as soon as I open the package my dogs are sniffing with interest. I had no problems switching them over. If anything my dogs poops were much better immediately. They're was zero digestive upset in switching over. The duck smells so good, I would eat it. After just 3 weeks on this food my older dog had begun to slim down too. My dogs are less cranky also. My puppy is eating more consistently and no longer picky. I am very impressed with the ingredients and quality of this product.
My only suggestion to others is make sure you understand their shipping process so you can time your orders accordingly. I made that mistake and ran out before my next order. Customer service got right back to me and helped me sort it out. They were very helpful.
My boy just turned six in December. He's never had an mobility issues whatsoever and still moves like he's a puppy. Always jumpy and so much energy. Been feeding him Raw since he was eight weeks old. I am so happy I found Viva! It's the best Raw diet I've come across and he loves it!! We switched from ground to chunk and apparently he's not fond of the chunk. Haha. We will go back to ground and stay put!! Thank you so much for existing, Viva! It's people like you who truly prove how much you care about our animal friends!!
I have been feeding my two cats VIVA and I am so happy they are getting a nutritious diet. I love that I can gently cook VIVA meats as the bone is grounded up into tiny particles. My cats get excited every time it is feeding time. VIVA always delivers orders correctly and timely and their text service for communication. Is excellent. Thank you!
Viva raw makes it incredibly easy and affordable to make my own raw food with the pure blends! My baby; Dirtmuffin absolutely loves it I highly recommend this brand.
My furbaby is absolutely obsessed with her food. Im glad, I switched her over to Viva.
After trying virtually every "sensitive stomach" cat food on the market we decided raw was the only option left to try. We went with Viva over other brands due to the smaller list of ingredients. We started him on rabbit (the easiest to digest) and did the recommended transition slowly, over 10 days, but saw improvements almost immediately. Our kitty's tummy troubles, which occurred multiple times a day, have all but disappeared. It's only been 11 days but he's already grown some of the fur back on his belly that he's lost to overcrowding. We're going to get our other cat also started on it. She doesn't have stomach issues, but this food is just so much better than the junk we had them on. Only regret is not doing it sooner.
My cat loves this food! You can tell how fresh it is and the team is very responsive to questions. I am definitely sticking with Viva raw!!
My cats LOVE it, the team is so responsive and I got my order shipped to my door, still fully frozen by the time it arrives (and then a couple of hours before I picked it up).
I feed all my own cats (7) and all the rotation of foster cats with raw food and advocate the continued feeding of it after their adoption by handing out a 1-page info sheet and a pound of raw food for each cat. The customer service is excellent - always timely and very cooperative.
It is a relief to know that my animals (one dog and one cat) have access to species appropriate food! Their coats are shiny and soft! They are both vibrant and healthy. Thank you Viva!!
He is especially taken with the rabbit. I appreciate the helpful people when there were questions and how quickly the order gets here.
THANK YOU

I love Viva. When I made the decision to start feeding raw, I was very overwhelmed with the thought of formulating my own. My girl was having quite a few tummy issues and I wanted to heal her. After researching a few different pre-made foods, I settled on Viva. Their quality ingredients and quality control measures made me feel very safe feeding this to my girl. She absolutely loves it. When I get a new pack out to thaw she spins around in circles. There has not been a single flavor she hasn't gobbled up. We especially love rabbit and, seasonally, venison!
This company rocks. Not only is their customer service fabulous, but where they source, their product and everything you need to know about that to feel OK about the slaughter of animals to begin with because our pets need to eat them, not us, they are very transparent. I really think this company is the best of the best.
Sage has loved the food from viva. Prior to viva we were giving her wet food and she would eat it but leave 1/2-1/4 of her food but once we started her on the duck she’s literally been leaving not one speck of food on her plate and she’s always excited for her meals. Thanks viva!
First of all, I’m impressed by how much food comes in one pack. I ordered 6 to try at first and it has lasted quite a while. My cat absolutely loves this food! She gobbles it up and asks for more, especially the rabbit. She gets a burst of energy after she eats and she does all sorts of funny things to show her excitement. I will definitely be buying more. Thank you Viva Raw!
Our cat Sage had been having soft stool ever since we got her as a kitten. After multiple stool tests yielding nothing, we did research into her diet and discovered raw! Once we took out the kibble and the grain-filled wet food, she and her sister Hazel have done so well. Their coats are shinier, and no more soft stool! Plus, they’re very energetic.
In my opinion, kibble for animals is the equivalent of us eating nothing but Cheetos sprayed with needed but synthetic vitamins for every meal. Ew. Our pets should be eating as close to what they’d be eating in the wild as possible because it’s what they were designed for. Domestication is for aesthetics and behavioral traits, not digestion. We humans should be making healthier choices for our diets as well, but for us, that’s exactly what it is. A choice. Our pets don’t have the ability to choose which is why I believe it’s our responsibility to research and feed them properly.
I love using Viva, and my dog Jasper loves eating it. I don’t have the best health, and I can’t rely on my ability to always do diy meals for him so I always keep Viva to rotate through for when I can’t prep for him. I’ve tried everything that’s been made by Viva so far and he loves it all!
I also love how the protein listed is the protein actually used. For instance, most pre-made raw formulas say rabbit, but use beef parts for everything but the muscle meat itself. Viva doesn’t do that, and I think that’s fantastic. I order rabbit, and what I get is rabbit! If I want to mix proteins I can mix the proteins myself. If I want him to have a single protein, he’s actually getting the single protein, and it’s in a complete and balanced form.
