My puppy loves the turkey and beef puppy food and is doing very well. I transitioned to a new protein too early. I asked Viva about this and Dallas gave great advice.

Second order is on its way! Website is full of great information for transitioning to raw. Love their calculator. Everything you need to know about feeding raw is right there for you to read. My email questions to them are answered promptly which realy helps make decisions right away, not two wks later. Love the new labeling. Will continue using Viva raw. One of my persians took to raw immediately.. my younger boy not so much; taking him slow, but consistant.

Unfortunately my cats did not like the food. I currently feed them raw (a different brand) and I really liked the idea that Viva is in a more natural state but my ultra picky cats would not eat it. I am a bit sad about it. That being said, Viva stands behind their product and gave me a full refund on my initial order. It's wonderful that you don't have to worry about trying new foods on picky eaters and being left holding the bag. You can make the jump to raw and reap all the rewards better food can do for your pet.

This food chnaged everything in my 14 years old cat with Diabetic and IBD . Now everything is under control. Wont switch to nothing else

Ozzie came to me already eating Viva. I debated whether to switch due to concerns about recalls, but it became obvious that he loves the food. I ordered the starter pack of chicken and he really does enjoy it. The package peels open at the corner and I store it in a ziplock bag for now, but may use a sealable container next time. The food is easy to thaw and store. I have a special section of my freezer to store it. I make sure to wash my hands, the food bowl, and counter area when finished.

I got this for my cats because I wanted them to try something new and healthy. I have 2 cats and both of them liked the chicken but not the turkey. One of my cats also enjoyed the beef but my other cat didn’t. At first they seemed to like it but then didn’t. They stoped eating it I tried giving it to them different ways but still nothing. I couldn’t get them to eat it again sadly. But I would say overall give it try every cat is different.

Transitioned my 2 persian boys from dry to canned wet. Now transitioning both to raw. One boy took to it right away, but my 14 month old boy has gone backward from raw to canned. Starting his transition over again. Great shipping, fast and complete.

My dog is used to the raw diet but for some reason this brand made her incredibly sick. I tried to make it work for 2 months but she was just vomiting constantly. Stopped giving her this brand and she's back to normal.

My bangal cat absolutely loves the chicken, duck, and rabbit, didn't really like the turkey tho. So for over a year now my cat has had diarrhea, vet tested poop (2 different vets) 3 times, all came back negative for everything including giardia, so finally I changed my cats diet to viva raw food and since then she has had solid poop and its going on 2 months now :). I'm the happiest cat parent ever, so happy that my cat is happier, and the healthiest I've seen her in over a year now. 😊 I started out with 10lbs of each flavor, learned what she liked, then ordered 40 more lbs. I'm sorry to say that although my bangal and I love viva raw I'll be switching to making it myself, because of price. Bought another bangal and he eats about 6 1/2 Oz by himself, can't keep up with the cost. .

My four month old Russian. Blue kitten likes the food very much. The only thing is the size of the packages, it’ll be so convenient if you had a smaller package like 0.50 lbs.

My little Havanese Rosa gobbles up all Viva Raw ground complete diets in the cooling category. I love that the protein sources are human grade and sustainable and that the other ingredients are organic. I only wish there were smaller packages, do I don't have to partially thaw and cut up and refreeze in the smaller portions she needs. I often mix 2 protein sources together or add other products as toppers, so smaller packages would be helpful.

We had gotten a box of Viva for my daughters therapy cat, Ollie. Unfortunately we just found out he has a rare heart condition called Restrictive Cardiomyopathy, and he is in heart failure. He is only 8yo, and I guess his heart caught up to him. I needed to cancel all of our future shipments, and when I emailed to do so, I was met with care and empathy. There was no trying to give me offers of XYZ and pandering for me to stay. That meant a lot to me. The food that Ollie has eaten, he has loved! Thank you Viva, I hope I can order again someday. Goodbyes are so hard…

While my Dog enjoyed the food, she'll literally eat anything. I felt like a butcher handling the raw meat in the difficult packaging, dripping blood everywhere in the attempt to measure food. Unsanitary, inconvenient. My cat refused to eat the food.

I ordered 10 lb variety pack for my 8 months old Maincoon. She likes it and runs to the fridge every time. The only thing i would change is make smaller sealable portions. Now i cut each pack myself and reseal into smaller portions. But thats not a deal breaker.

WOW! Okay, we are still going through some transition, but all of them are coming around to the change. I am feeding a freeze-dried at night to supplement, but their primary meal in the morning is raw. I think after years of having free feed kibble, the older cats aren't trusting the evening meal. But, I'm working on it. One of the boys has some undiagnosed issues: bad breath, allergy type stuff, too. I'm starting to see positive change there. That's encouraging. I'm happy with the complete raw. I believe the cats are happy with the complete raw. We are on the natural journey! 😄

My two four legged children enjoyed. They couldn’t be more happy.

Hi. Satisfied with my first order of 5 kinds (10 lbs) of Viva.
One thing I would like to ask is that it would be better if the package is a smaller portion. My dog is 22 lbs. When I thaw 1 lb, it should be put in the refrigerator for about 5 days. Would be good if you provided it in 0.5 lbs or so. Thanks!

After transitioning, my cats will eat the food but not happily. I've tried a lot of things like adding broth, heating the food, adding toppers, but nothing seems to take. They will take a few bites and rarely finish food within the allotted time leading to a lot of food needing to be thrown away. I do think my cats have better stools and their coats feel nicer from raw food - I just wish they enjoyed it a little more!

Got my first order - one package was not vacuum sealed. Wasn’t sure if I wanted to use it, because I was just switching his diet. Had to just trash it. Couldn’t risk it being bad. Still trying to switch him. Got second 10 pounds but cannot get past the 50/50 mixing.

My cats are super picky. About 9 years old each of them. I've had them on raw food since they were 7 or 8 months old. Over the last 9 years we've cycled through a few different raw food companies for cats.

From what I can tell, they love this the best. And they are very happy with the variety you guys offer.

Thanks so much and hopefully no more switching from here! Variety might be the thing that keeps them coming back!

I feed this to all my foster kittens. They gobble it up and it clears up any digestive issues in a few days. It’s the best!

So it came in dry ice and it was frozen and well packed. I wish it wasn’t packed in a big pack but had dividers. I thawed the duck first cause my Kiki loves duck stuff but my cat literally jumped back put his hair up on his back like the food was something that scared him. He did this every time I tried to give it to him. Then I thawed out the pack of chicken. Tried to make sure he was good and hungry and this time he just sniffed and turned right away. I tried heating it for a few seconds, mixing it with his other food and nothing. He wouldn’t touch it. He has always been very picky. Im so upset cause I thought the food would really help his hair loss.

I tell you this, my cats love your food. I don't have to bait them in at their meal times. They start eating and only stop after licking the bowls clean.

My boy gives Viva Raw food an all 4 paws up review. He is thriving on this food and I'm so glad I switched him to Viva.

My cat loves all of the flavors except beef (because I haven't bought it). I really like feeding the rabbit because I've noticed the texture is less mushy and more firm and it appears to have less blood content in the meat. This time we added the newest flavor Guinea Fowl and Duck, it was a lot pricier than the other flavors, I'm sure my cat will love it though. I was surprised to see they included a nice slow feeder that can be chilled in the freezer! Really loving viva so far this is my 2nd order (8 week supply).
