We have three cats who have always been on high-quality canned food along with high-quality freeze-dried kibble, so we were honestly pretty hesitant about switching. We really wanted something even better for them, but had a lot of reservations.
After trying the sample pack, we were pleasantly surprised—our cats took to it way easier than we ever expected. We transitioned slowly over several weeks, mixing it in little by little, and they absolutely loved it.
We’ve now placed our first full order and are still combining it with canned food mainly for cost reasons, but our goal is to eventually go fully raw.
One thing I really love is the packaging—it makes portioning super easy and convenient. Also, the food doesn’t have that strong smell that canned food does, which is a huge plus. Even better, their litter box smells are noticeably reduced. Overall, everything has been a big improvement.
The only downside so far has been communication. I would have liked a shipment notification, as I didn’t receive one this time. Our package ended up sitting outside overnight, but thankfully the weather was cool and the dry ice and packaging were excellent, so everything stayed safe.
Overall, we’re really happy with the quality and how well our cats have adjusted!
Transitioning my 3 year old cat over and giving Viva to my 3 month old kitten and all is going so well so far! So grateful to have the ease of auto ship and a company that I can trust.
She loves this food! I have noticed that her fur is much softer and she seems much happier!
I purchased with the hope of helping my cat with his gut issues. He’s been throwing up a lot with some diarrhea, and so far I’m into the second protein now and I’ve already seen some improvement. I look forward to seeing if this food helps him heal. It’s still early, but so far so good! He loves it and is eating it regularly. Thank you!
Our sweet girl is absolutely loving her food. So much so she tells us about it if we don't get her food on-time. She is 9yrs old and has some health issues coming on. We changed to raw and she sits up straighter, she is playing again, her hair has come back in from where she pulled it out, her eyes are brighter, she isn't drinking as much water and she has thinned out but hasn't lost any weight and looks fantastic. We will never go back.
I’ve had my cat, Cosmo, for almost four years now. I got him as a rescue, and up until now he would eat Freshpet/Fancy Feast/etcetera. He stopped wanting to eat his wet food several months ago, and would only eat dry kibble… until he tried Viva! He practically licks his plate clean every night after figuring out the meat types he likes. It’s also nice that my other two enjoy the raw food as well… I think they scream even louder now for food. Cosmo also seems to have more energy, and has been getting up to shenanigans I haven’t seen him do since he was younger. Viva might have been a lifesaver for Cosmo, so thank you so much!
The food is fresh and dense. My cat loves the duck and rabbit. Both last well and are sizable so you feel like you’re getting great bang for your buck. 🐱❤️
I have a dog who is very picky with raw food, finally, I have found one that he loves in the rabbit viva. I also tried the raw food for my cats who loved it as well. I’m very pleased with this product and so happy that my animals love it too .
Excellent product, good variety of meats, well packaged and shipping is no hassle. My little Jack Russell girl likes the variety of tastes, but because she is so picky I still have to add a little extra something with the raw meat. But she eats all the Viva which makes me happy!
All 3 of my cats love this food. All of them can be picky at times but they've enjoyed every flavor. The 1 lb packages they come in are very convenient and thaw quickly.
So far My cat has tried only the duck, but she LOVES it. And she's a picky eater. I did have to sear it, and it's safe to cook, AND it even smells good to me like, It smells real. I debated on trying it myself just to see but I feel that's weird so I haven't yet 💀👀
With a senior tripod on metabolic joint prescription food and tripod 1 1/2 yr old I am a week into introducing to them. The love to eat it and stool& tummy seem to acclimate fine. The kitty steals bites of the raw while I prep so that is a good indicator of palatability I need to determine if this will be full transition or partial but pleasantly surprised thus far.
It’s hard to figure out what food to give to puppy and you want to provide the very best! That is what VivaRaw is to my little one. She LOVES every combination and enjoys meals which is such a satisfaction.
Our golden retriever puppy just loves this food. At 9 weeks old he already knows the time his 3 meals come and starts to let us know. It takes my wife longer to fix his meal than it takes for him to eat.
An added bonus is that the ice pack can be used as plant food once thawed. That is a unique, innovative and responsible way to design the ice pack.
My cat ever since 5 months old has had a problem with his stools. Been to several Vets and with more than needed tests that come back fine, he finally has normal stools. More energy and if finally gaining some much needed weight. Thank you Viva for helping my senior back to life!
Shipment is always well packaged! Very happy with Viva raw. He really enjoys rabbit, duck and turkey. Highly recommend Vivaraw!
Grey was a stray who chose us. We began feeding him freeze dried, as it was the healthiest option we knew of. I have never had a cat. Next week tried gently cooked. He liked it. As I researched I began to worry about taurine and whether there was enough in the other foods. I found Viva and Grey loves it. I do not have to worry about taurine. Comatose after raw rabbit. On my yoga mat. Because that is what it is for apparently.
My King Charles Cavalier puppy loves it and it’ll make him a strong king one day!
My baby Arwen has been liking Viva so far, especially chicken. This is the first time I notice her lick the bowl clean and there are no leftovers. I believe that with Viva I feed her high quality food I can feel good about. I will be purchasing again.
My 3 senior dogs have been on Viva Raw for about 2 weeks now. They are more energetic, look forward to their meals, drinking less water, and no stomach upset! Thinking about switching my cats to them as well. As a veterinary technician I’ll share my great experience with my clients and the benefits of feeding raw/fresh food vs kibble.
My British Shorthair kitten Joey has been eating Viva Raw for over two months now and has been loving all the meats! I have noticed that the raw food helps his diarrhea. No more stinky stools!
We adopted a 9 week old puppy who had been fed Vivaraw. The breeder gave us 2 lbs of food which was consumed before our order arrived. I contacted Vivaraw and they expedited our second order so we would not run short again.
Our puppy absolutely loves the food and he is doing very well with it. No digestive issues at all.
We had been feeding our three rescue kitties dehydrated raw food but after several months they became less interested in it. Regardless of the variety, they started looking away from their plate and looking at us as if to say “not again”. The switch to Viva Raw was easy and all three love it - even our very picky eater! We still mix in a little of their old dehydrated food just to stretch it out. But it is clear that Viva is a clear winner for them.
