Gino and Lewis really like the food (particularly the pork flavor) and I like not having to wonder what I am going to feed them that is good for them and has all the nutrients they need! Gino is a senior cat and needs a healthy diet!
Buford has become an extremely picky eater so needed to find something new other than the store brand food. Ordered the rabbit and duck and he licks the plate clean! I cook both and that seems to be his favorite. Am now on auto delivery
I was having trouble finding a good wet food to give my 9 month old kitten. He wouldn't eat ANYTHING I gave him except for wet toppers and treats. I was ready to give up until a coworker gave me a couple packs of Viva raw to try. As soon as he tried the first bite of the Rabbit, he was hooked! He looked at me like I was keeping a secret, he ate the food like it was his first time! Now, at 14 months, he is finally eating the way a cat should! He loves his Rabbit, Pork and Beef, which I rotate daily. He has tons of energy, his poops no longer stink, and his fur is gorgeous! I will forever be grateful to Viva!
My 2 cats, Zeke & Zorro, have both been on a raw diet most of their lives, and Viva Raw is the best we've found! The pure chicken is our favorite, and we mix in the Alnutrin for Meat & Bone from "knowwhatyoufeed.com". The meat is high quality, the company is excellent, and customer service is quick and helpful. We will continue purchasing from them & have told several friends about it!
My cat is a super picky eater, and I've tried other 'fresh' products, and he has turned his nose up at them. But he LOVES Viva - and I'm *super* happy that the protein/carb profile is also exactly what he needs as a diabetic cat! Win-win!
Best expirence ever! My ragdoll came to me at 7 months. She was on a good dry food, however I did not want her to be on dry food
To long. So I started mixing in holistic wet cat food. She had very soft BMS, and constantly in her kitty litter. This went on for 5 months. To the vet twice to check for parasites...nothing. then while scrolling on facebook i saw Viva raw for cats and was a little skeptical at first, but then I thought, heck, what do I got to lose. Tried everything else, so might as well see if it works. First I will say it came frozen packed in nice little box. I couldn't wait to try it. As soon as I gave it to her she picked the bowl clean
In 3 days she had a normal bm, I could not believe it!! Just about 6 weeks in now and she is still having a normal bm. Her favorite is rabbit. No longer in the kitty box constantly to poop, barely any smell. Everything Viva says about their pet food is true. So happy I made the switch. Not to mention it cost less too!
First, my cat had gotten to a point where she would only eat gravy or mousse-style food. I knew that wasn’t sustainable—for her health or my peace of mind. It just wasn’t enough nutritionally. I’ve always felt kibble is more about human convenience than what’s actually best for cats. I’ve tried introducing natural and raw foods before, but she never liked them.
Second, she is extremely picky. She will only eat duck or turkey—nothing else. If it’s not one of those, she’ll refuse to eat entirely. I’ve learned to respect her very strong preferences.
Third, she was a bit hesitant at first, but there is definitely a trick to getting her to enjoy Viva.
For my cat, temperature matters. She prefers it at room temperature—not too cold, not warm. I was genuinely surprised that she enjoyed the turkey recipe on its own, without any added gravy. Normally, she insists on having something she can “slurp,” so seeing her eat the meat by itself was unexpected. She doesn’t have any health issues—it’s purely preference.
At the end of the day, if my cat loves it, I love it. It’s that simple.
The only suggestion I have is about packaging. I wish it came in smaller portions (while keeping the total amount the same), because my cat eats less than half a cup a day. Right now, I have to keep freezing and thawing portions, which can be a bit inconvenient.
That said, I’ll happily deal with it because my cat loves this food. I’ve also noticed improvements in her weight and her coat condition. As long as the quality stays consistent, Viva has a loyal customer in me.
So far rabbit and duck are the winners (no surprise there) but my new kittens are eating the heck out of this food and NOT getting farty or super stinky poops like they were on the regular canned food. I need to figure out a faster way to warm it up without owning a microwave and I do NOT like the collapsible purple container that came with the food (because the lid refuses to snap on properly) but otherwise I'll be buying this for my babies as long as I can!
I came by Viva while searching for any online store that provides raw food for my cats. I'm glad I did. It took me 4 hours to prep raw food that lasts 2 weeks for my cats and only 1 of them ate. Viva is a bit pricey but it has everything that needs to be added into raw diet. And i bet it tastes good as my other 2 cats who are very very picky also eat it. Plus, they have choices for rabbit and venison meats which aren't easily available in regular supermarkets.
Viva raw has been a game changer for my cats and it shows. From the health benefits, shinny coat, boost of energy, it’s all on display daily. Big noticeable difference from canned and dry food to the viva raw diet. Could not recommend this product more. My cats love the different protein options consistent quality of the product.
I recently got Viva Raw for my new puppy and 1 year old cat and they love it. Awesome clean ingredients and a clean plate every time. I can see the improvement in their energy and health I am so happy I chose Viva Raw!!!
SO IMPRESSED We have recently switched from a competing raw food diet (though we have always gently sautéd the food). The cost is the same (very important w/3 dogs) , & the transition has been excellent, ez-peezy even the 11 week old puppy transitioning from kibble, and she is NOTICEABLY CALMER . The positive effects on our dogs are absolutely evident, better GI seen directly in their poop’s, their vitality, clear eyes & energy, & of course, they LOVE their new meals(Even green lipid muscles for their joints!) I work in hospitals w/Dietician’s, Nutritionist’s, Gastroenterologists, & Infectious disease. I am so extremely impressed with the formulas & recipes for my 2 dogs & the puppy formula for our new puppy! Thank you Viva for making the best meals for our furry family!

I've been feeding my cats Viva now about 2 months and one of my cats Batman who would take a few bites off and on over several hours of his old food, not with Viva he eats it all up in first feeding licking the bowl clean ❤️beef and turkey.
Another great thing they all are more satisfied and full until their next mealtime with eating less amount compared to their old food. My 4 legged kids are happily full and me too =^••^=
The food lasts as long as it needs to for my precious babies. My cats love it, so I love it as well!
With all other food we tried, dried kibble, fancy feast, smalls, our cat would hesitate a moment before eating. With Viva he cannot wait to be fed and eats all his food without a hesitation. It just makes sense to me to feed him raw food. I mean, I have never seen a dat roasting a duck over a campfire, have you?
My cats always clean their plates when they eat Viva! I love that it already has the supplements in it. Price is very reasonable as well. Customer service was also very helpful!
My cat loves the venison. I’m going stock up since it’s seasonal and hard to source. I haven’t seen her this excited about dinner in a long time.
So far, my 3 babies have tried and loved chicken & turkey from their sampler bundle. I hoping the others are as well received.
The customer service is absolutely impeccable. Fast, efficient, friendly! The food is super high quality and our cats LOVE IT. They are also incredibly happy and healthy. What more could we ask for.
I hadn't ever fed a cat of mine raw meat before. It was a new concept to me. The very kind woman that I received my kitten from told me about Viva. She uses the service on a regular basis for her cattery. By the way, all of her cats are beaughtiful and very healthy. My kitten loves the beef. Doesn't care for the other meats. It worked out because my sisters cats love them! I would definitely recommend this service. The food comes in a well insulated container and is still frozen upon arrival. No worrying necessary for contaminated or thawed meat.
I give it to my kitten in the morning and evening. She follows me to the refrigerator and patiently waits for it. It was worth it to me for her to be happy and healthy.
Love the food for our two cats (2 years old). Both have more energy, their fur is feeling softer and more lush. Most importantly, our cat who had an allergy and constantly scratched her eye is clearing up. Food looks so good, sometimes I want to get a piece! High Recommend
We got this for our 3 month old Persian and he loves it! We love how fresh it looks and we love knowing our sweet Finn is getting the best and healthiest food for him!
I was adopted by a stray cat. After unsuccessfully trying to locate an owner and having him scanned for a microchip, I decided to give him a permanent home. My vet estimated his age at about a year and a half, and after having him neutered, I named him Ja'Tom. I initially prepared homemade cat food for him, which has worked very well. However, I wanted to expand the variety of proteins in his diet, so I began researching raw food suppliers. After comparing several options, I decided to try Viva. The transition has been a great success. As expected, Ja'Tom absolutely loves the food, and I appreciate the wide variety of protein choices available. I ordered the variety pack, and so far he has enthusiastically eaten every protein I've offered. For convenience, I portion the food into daily meal sizes and store them in small yogurt containers. This makes feeding time quick and easy since I simply grab a portion, smash it around on his plate, and it's ready to serve. Originally, I did not plan to enroll in the subscription service, but after seeing how well Ja'Tom has done with the food, I decided to sign up. Since I still supplement with some of my own homemade food, I selected an extended delivery schedule that works well for our needs. Overall, my experience with Viva has been very positive. The quality, protein variety, and convenience have made it an excellent addition to Ja'Tom's diet, and I would recommend it to other cat owners looking for high-quality raw food options.
The breeder recommended Viva. This cat is my 5th Maine Coon (I'm old) and prior breeders had suggested raw food, but we never kept it up. My cat just loves Viva food (all available meats) and I like the fact that I can have a plan that delivers food as needed, and my cat is on our third order and looks and acts great. I am very satisfied with Viva and would definitely recommend them.
