My babies love the raw food, with their wet food ! Slowly transition, but they sure love it and want more !
We wanted to do everything we could to promote and optimize the health of our new Welsh Terrier Puppy. Our previous wire fox terrier had health issues that likely were not helped by kibble (even special diet vet recommended brand). Viva Raw was recommended by the terrier trainer we have partnered with. Much easier routine and more positive than I expected. We love the less minimally process / raw experience thus far, and so does our puppy who is now 5 months old.
Unfortunately raw is not my cat’s vibe, but that being said, the product is amazing!! It was delivered so quick, the food is really fresh and well packed, the shipping was great/cold amazingly. Everything was labeled well and the cost for what you get is right on point for high quality cat food. I wish my cat would’ve ate it, I followed all transition guides and all but he’s just picking. I was so worried, but when I emailed customer service they refunded me right away since my cat refuses to eat it. I’m going to be donating the leftover pounds of food I have left to a friend who has been wanting to try it and I’m sure she’ll become a customer. Just to be clear, my cat won’t eat it but I 100% recommend this company! Even if you try it and your animal doesn’t take to it, they are great about backing their “clean bowl guarantee”. Nothing but praise for Viva!!!
my girl Mavis is VERY very picky. I had tried some other fresh food/raw food brands but it was often a chore to get her to eat. but with viva raw she licks the bowl CLEAN!! I love that theres ground bone in the food so I can safely cook it (she does not usually like to eat cold raw food so I gently cook it about half way), and i really love the nutritional content in this food! and I love that the company is very open about where the food is sourced from and the lengths they go to to ensure their food is safe to eat. I feel the price is worth it :)
Mavis and I are fans for life!
We found Viva for our boy Nucky when we visit our second home in Montana…..no raw allowed over the Canada US border…..What to do!!!🙀 He loved the first bite, like nothing in his world had changed. Thank you Viva for making meals for him so easy…..A nap after his first Viva meal😽
We switched our 10 month old Border Collie girl to Viva after it got such great reviews from the Dr. Karen Becker expert panel last weekend. We are happy to be giving her a high quality, raw, and balanced puppy food! She loves meal time.
Yes, of course cats and dogs are going to like this. I steam the food and my cat likes it better prepared this way. But best of all is my cats health has improved with Viva raw food. It will definitely help them to de stress as well knowing that they are getting real meat.
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.
