My kitty has been eating Viva for about a month

My kitty has been eating Viva for about a month and a half and I already notice a huge change in his energy level. I’m a little surprised because he was already eating another brand of raw food and so I wasn’t expecting to notice much of a difference. He seems very happy so far.

My cats love the Rabbit formula!!!

My cats love the Rabbit formula. I have two cats, one with a severe allergy to Chicken and Pork, after many tries with different proteins we found rabbit formula to work best, only to have it be discontinued right and left by local providers. Viva saved us with their rabbit formula. Thank you for the excellent customer service, shipping, and care! You have a customer for life!

We have two cats and they both looovvee your car food!

We have two cats and they both looovvee your food… all the flavors. I do cook them a little because it gies bad quicker than they can eat it if I don’t. Their coats are very shiny and soft.

Finally, a Food My Cat Gets Excited About!

My cat absolutely loves Viva Raw! He went crazy for it almost immediately, which honestly surprised me because he has never been a big fan of wet food. Usually, the only food that gets this kind of excitement from him is kibble!

So far, he’s happily devouring both the chicken and pork recipes, and I’m planning to introduce beef and rabbit soon. He has also definitely become more active, and for the first time ever, he actually comes to the kitchen and asks for food when he sees me there 😂

I’m really happy with how easy the transition has been so far. His appetite is great, and he seems genuinely excited about mealtime now!

We are so impressed with the high quality!

We are so impressed with the quality of these products! Our two cats absolutely love their new food and have had noticeable more energy and better rest and sleep quality. If you are new to raw food, Viva makes the transition so easy and simple. No mess, it’s easy to thaw and store in the fridge and the quality is outstanding! Highly recommend!

Really great quality product! I mix the raw food with their regular wet food. They are eating very well.

Great Raw Food!

I love the ingredients in this food! I like how the produce is organic and there is not a list of synthetic vitamins. I believe my dog should be getting her vitamins through whole foods. The only downside is it comes in big blocks and I have a small dog so I have to portion it which takes time but isn't too bad. I'm happy to see that they offer venison as a seasonal protein, I hope they add more varieties, maybe a fish option. It's great that they offer a good variety of proteins, including novel proteins.

I have an extremely picky Sphynx cat

I have an extremely picky Sphynx who will eat other foods, but just enough to survive. Which is why I decided to give Viva a try. At first she was a little resistant because she is who she is, but then she became very excited about meal time and I foresee this being a long lasting relationship with this company. Thank you very much for the introductory cost to see which flavors she likes and I really appreciate the thoughtful packaging and thawing kit. I highly recommend this company.

I am so sad that no matter i do my cats will not

I am so sad that no matter i do my cats will not even take 1 bite of their food now :( Even when I put the tiniest amount in their food or warms it up...they instantly know its in there...look at me in disgust and walk away...every single time.

My 2 kitties are too picky,

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your kitties weren’t interested in the food, even after you tried offering it both raw and cooked. We appreciate you giving Viva a try and for choosing to donate the remaining food so it can still be put to good use. Our team has also followed up with you directly to provide further assistance.

My babies loved it!

My two kitties absolutely loved the food! They’re always looking forward to mealtime. This was my first time ordering, and I’m very happy with the experience. The food arrived right on time and was packed with dry ice, so everything stayed perfectly frozen. I’ll definitely be ordering again!

We use to love Viva, but something changed!

We have been viva customers since our dog was a puppy, around 3 years.
At the beginning we were quite satisfied. Used to receive little gift from your company. Over the years your product quality has changed especially the beef, at one point your recipe has changed and we could visible see the extra fat content in the frozen packages that later made our dog extremely sick. Usually Turkey and Chicken worked great. Lately the communication has been extremely poor or non existing . Orders being shipped way after paying making us run out of the food he receive. When requesting possible early shipping ,we don't even receive a "sorry we can't do that message". Just an absolute careless behavior we do not think we deserve after 3 years of close to $300 monthly subscription. We have switched to home made meals a few weeks ago and our dog is thriving on it. No digestive problems, he does not get sick at all. Thank you, but we will be putting your food on pause.

Hi Monika, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re very sorry to hear that your recent experience with Viva did not meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate your longtime support. We’ve followed up with you directly via email so we can better understand your concerns and provide further assistance. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to look into your experience more closely.

These companies are selling fear! Don’t fall for it!

The sampler pack arrived thawed but still cold to the touch. So I immediately put them in the freezer and tried a teaspoon of the beef mixed in with my two cats regular wet food. Neither of them would touch it. You can only leave this Viva raw cat food out for a maximum of 15 minutes which is another huge issue that they should’ve highlighted on their website. My cats graze over a period of hours and have never completely eaten a bowl of food no matter how small I prepare it. I tried searing it gently to bring out the aroma and still, even with a half teaspoon mixed in with their regular wet food they wouldn’t touch it. Thing is, my cats aren’t picky eaters! They’ll eat anything I prepare for them. I tried sampling every single flavor in the box and not so much as a lick! I sincerely think this sampler pack that arrived thawed had already gone bad. A massive disappointment and a huge waste of time and money. When I spoke to my vet about it she said all these companies are selling fear right now! If you don’t switch to a 100% organic, raw food then your adorable little kitty will get sick and only live a short life! They advised me to continue feeding my two adorable kitties the canned wet food that I’ve been feeding them and don’t fall for this unscrupulous marketing strategy ever again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, John. We’re sorry to hear that Viva wasn’t the right fit for your cats despite the different transition methods you tried. We’d also like to clarify that, per USDA food safety guidance, food that arrives thawed but remains at refrigerator temperature (40°F or below) is safe to refreeze or use. We’ve followed up with you directly to address your concerns and provide a resolution, and we appreciate you giving Viva a try.

Good customer service

Food arrived thawed the first time but the customer service department was helpful and we got a free second delivery no charge. The cats didn’t all seem to care to much for it so we went a different direction but over all the experiences where good.

I'm a breeder and have been feeding the raw diet

I'm a breeder and have been feeding the raw diet for many years. I had a female that had bladder stones and my Vet wanted her on what I considered a really low quality dry food. There was no way I was feeding her that food. That saying you are what you eat, is so true even for the dogs. I did some research and found that dogs who are prone to bladder infections do much better on the raw diet because of the high moisture content. They don't drink enough water to flush out their bladder so crystals form and hence the stones form. My girl never had another bladder infection after eating the raw diet. Human grade is the best you can feed your dog. Recently Fed Ex didn't deliver my order on the expected day and it was an additional 3 days before I got it. All food thawed and the box leaking. I reached out to Viva Raw's customer service and they responded replacing my order. I can't thank them enough nor can I say enough good things about their food.

So far so good! My cats love the food

So far so good! My cats love the food. The only concern I have is being able to get the food in quantities that work on a schedule that works for me. If that happens, I would give 5 stars. I’ve only gotten a sample pack and my first order so far. I had a little trouble changing it to my needs but the customer service was very helpful.

I have 1 year old rescue Pry mix

I have 1 year old rescue Pry mix. Pretty indifferent in eating other "raw" foods until we start VIVA. He hasn't tried all the flavors yet, but clearly has enjoyed the venison, rabbit and duck. His stools have improves as well as less gas.

Miso LOVES his Viva raw food

My kitten miso LOVES Viva raw food. Right after adopting him I knew I wanted to transition him to eating a raw diet. He gets super excited now as soon as he sees the purple container coming out of the fridge. Viva makes it super simple and convenient to be able to feed a raw diet!

My 4 cats love this raw food

My 4 cats love this raw food. I had to transition slowly. I do mix it with a canned food they enjoy. I've noticed more energy and play, and their allergies are nearly gone. I feel like I'm feeding my cats real food instead of fake food. They continue to get some dry food as treats because they ask for it.

Chicken looks like it's well received

Chicken looks like it's well received. I was disappointed to get a non working lid barely fit free plastic container. It's just that I don't recommend storing raw food on plastics for bacteria reasons. I'm still on the fence if it's worth continuing since they are eating better than me when it comes to the pricing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Stephen! We’re glad to hear that the Chicken has been well received, though we’re sorry the thawing container did not meet your expectations. We’ve followed up with you directly to explore an appropriate resolution and discuss different order or subscription options that may better fit your budget.

2 out of 3 ain't bad

Got the trial pack, cat likes the chicken and turkey, doesn't like the pork. Still got more to try, when I go through them all I'll post again how it went.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback, Mike! We’re glad to hear that Chicken and Turkey have been a hit so far, even if Pork wasn’t quite a favorite. We’ve also followed up with you directly via email to provide some additional support, and we hope your cat enjoys the remaining recipes in the trial pack. We’d love to hear how the rest of the taste testing goes!
