I own a Sphynx kitten who got skin rush with ultra processed wet and dry foods. My switch to raw diet has a lot of benefits: skin is less oily, no smell from urine and poop, skin rush goes away, healthy skin, teeth, and energetic. I add healthy yummy toppers and food is gone!! My feline companion and I are both happy!
Our Cavalier loves Viva complete meals! In addition to the care Viva takes sourcing ingredients an added bonus is the lower than average fat content. This is very healthy food!
My cat loves this food now and I believe it has given her some of her energy back as well!! Thank you so much please not alter the food and keep it natural and raw!! The best

She gobbles every little bit of this food up and licks the bowl. She definitely loves this! But because of the cost I do you mix it with her other food so it will last longer.
I've been feeding my kids raw for well over ten years - mostly Darwin's Natural Selections and we also tried Farmer's Dog. I do like Viva Raw better than both and will be switching over 100%. I do have some Darwin's in the freezer I need to use up, but after that we'll only be using Viva Raw.
Not only do I believe the quality is superior, I definitely prefer the Viva packaging over the others. It stacks better and takes up less space. That's a big deal since I order over 60 pounds at a time.
I only wish they would offer raw pork too.
I've tried raw food and numerous wet foods in the past, but my picky (ragdoll) cat just turned his nose up. BUT, he's eating the VIVA! I sprinkled a little bit of flortiflora on it (which I had started sprinkling on his dry food--hoping he would recognize the smell on the new food) and it worked! He's eating it without any hesitation. I'm really excited about it because he has severe dry-coat issues and suffers from flutd (stress UTIs/stones). Wet food is the best thing for him, but I could never get him to eat it. Well done VIVA! Thank you!
My two cats are enjoying their new Viva Raw food they are very enthusiastic at meal time. One of my girls has GI problems and so far doing well on Viva.
My in door out door boy made the transition in 3 days. He’s already used to wild prey so figured the raw food food would be an easy switch. Little buddy always cleans his plate. Cheaper than the expensive can stuff and better too. That’s a win.
Decided to try a raw diet to see if a change in nutrition would improve allergies. We just started a week ago. Both cats are eating the full portion without their dry food. Amazing that both cats let go of their dry kibble so easily.
Our kittens are so energetic and happy now that we've switched to Viva raw. Love how easy it is to serve them healthy food. Viva has excellent customer service too. So glad we made the switch!
I have two 3 month old corgi puppies who were having non-firm stools and once I started viva they have been more active and their coats have become more healthier looking along with firm stools! I’ve noticed more happiness during meals versus when they were on kibble and I’m proud to say they will always be viva dogs!
I have one cat that grew up on raw and just aquired 2 little ones. They love all the poultry versions, but weren't fond of the beef and rabbit. So happy to find something they like and i know is good for them.
Beautiful product. I did delay a second delivery until April. I have (2) cats and the amount of food sent in the first box will take me forever to get through. It's really for dogs - they'd eat all that in a week probably. The cats are slowly taking to it. Will not eat a full meal yet - but will eat an appetizer portion. The chicken broth I pour over really helps as well as the pumpkin puree.
So far my cat loves the chicken, duck, turkey and rabbit flavors. She did not like the goat or beef but hey we all are entitled to our preferences. The transition was super easy for us because she was already on 100% wet food diet but still took it slow to not upset her stomach. She literally licks her bowl clean with the rabbit. I first bought viva because my cat has a suspected food allergy and we are trying to work through it. Customer service has been super helpful and transparent with where ingredients are sourced from which is so helpful. I also am incredibly appreciative that they swab from residual proteins in between batches.
My boy cat screams for it the moment I approach the fridge and taps at me as I’m scooping to go faster. Some commercial sh*t!! My girl cat is unfortunately beyond picky and I haven’t made a break through with her, but trust me, he doesn’t let a crumb go to waste. He loves them all, but I think beef is the favorite. He is also pretty picky in general too, so still give it a try even if yours is on the pickier side.
We’ve been feeding Viva Pet Food to our three dogs and they love it. Every bowl is cleaned, and mealtime has become something they genuinely look forward to. I really appreciate the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into the food. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great option for their dogs!
We switched our three year old Siberian cat over about 6 weeks. She didn't want to eat Stella and Chewys anymore so I wanted to find her something even better! She loved Viva Raw immediately and we went too fast the first week, she got some GI upset for a day so we stopped for a week and then started over. We did the second transition over four weeks. It was very simple actually and I added in some Feline Gut Soothe from Adored Beast and the customer service from Viva Raw was amazing even over the winter holidays! Now our kitty asks for breakfast and dinner every day - sometimes lunch too if she's awake! Highly recommend!
My cat normally grazes through the day. With this she was digging in before I could even put her inner bowl back in her surepetcare dish. She had no tummy issues at all. I plan to continue the food but still have to figure out which ones she likes most. So far chicken is a huge hit!
Honestly I can’t complain at all but the first thing I noticed after starting raw feeding is the smell of their stools is near to no scent at all! I have an orange and black/grey tabby whos black coat is very matte (they were strays) and it definitely is getting more shine as time passes with feeding him raw. I like to add a lot of extra stuff because im extra I guess haha but my first baby I lost him in early 2025 due to a urinary blockage and I can’t go through that again… im doing my very best for these strays that I picked up in my backyard and they love rabbit above all haha
My cat has been eating Viva Raw since November 2025 and absolutely loves it. He was a rescue from the streets and was never on dry food for very long, so the transition to raw was incredibly easy. I can genuinely tell that raw food is exactly what he prefers and thrives on.
One of the most noticeable changes was the drastic improvement in litter box odor—a huge difference for the better. The product itself consistently looks well made, fresh, and thoughtfully packaged. I’ve also never had any issues with shipping or delivery.
I plan to continue using Viva Raw and would absolutely recommend it to others.
P.S. Just like people don’t all enjoy the same restaurants, not every pet will love the same food. Please don’t judge the company based on one pet’s preferences. Give it a try.

Our kittens have had chronic diarrhea since we adopted them almost 3 months ago and after trying many canned foods with no resolution within 24 hours of feeding them Viva raw they are having normal stools and we are so relieved! I wish we had tried it sooner but I am so happy to be giving them the best nutrition moving forward. Great customer service so far!
