My dog had really bad allergies to the point

My dog had really bad allergies to the point where he had to be medicated. He kept licking his paws. I decided to order viva raw for him and he’s been on it for over a month now. His allergies have definitely improved. Just received more viva raw food for him and I will continue to order!! He loves it!!!

Viva was my last resort to save my cat

My cat blue is turning 18 next month. She has always had digestive issues, but as she gets older it has gotten worse. I have tried every supplement, every probiotic, and of course I took her to the vet. Nothing was helping. Viva is nowhere in my price range, but I want to try it because I was hoping to prolong the life of a cat that was running out of options. So, I did it, I spent the money, because I love her. For the first week I was astounded. My cat's constant diarrhea seemed to be gone. The second week is when she started vomiting after every meal. I have been constantly cleaning it up. Now when I feed her viva she just looks up at me begging me for something else. She hasn't eaten in 2 days. At this point I'm not buying more of this food. I am so disappointed. I feel like viva was her last shot at making it to 20. I have to talk to my vet about what her future looks like.

Less Food than Usual

Is it just me or is everyone’s packages raw foods are this thin as well. I’ve been buying from viva for a few years now and this times shipment seems extra skimp. Does anyone else have this issue? I know for sure it’s less because I defrost it and repackage it in 4 oz jars and it definitely didn’t fill

My Yorkies are picky and they love this food! Only had 1 delayed shipping experience and it wasn’t Viva’s fault but they made good on it and their customer service is top notch.

My Maine Coons Love Raw

My Maine Coons will be 4 in December. Their breeder used to grind their raw food. I did a not of research and decided it was best to keep them on a raw diet. I was feeding another brand, but was having issues with containers breaking and leaking so I reached out to my breeder for recommendations. She recommended Viva, so I decided to give it a try. The food is packed in 1 pund containers and the plastic is tightly sealed, but easy to open. The food has a pate consistency. I feed my cats together on two plates, but my female always waits until the male is finished. Well our first feeding was the chicken, Juliette wanted to taste immediately and stayed to eat with her brother. Today they both finished the plates of pork quickly. So far they seem to enjoy the food. I find it easy to thaw, open and serve. Also maintaining their raw diet which keeps them healthy and at their idea weight.

My kitty has been eating this food for almost

My kitty has been eating this food for almost two years now. The recipe is always inconsistent. He only eats one thing and that’s the turkey. He will every once in a while throw up bone fragments in the food. When you bring this up to customer service (I’ve done so twice) they tell you having done pieces as big as your pinky nail is normal. I would like to disagree since this does not happen with every single batch we receive. We do not want to buy food here anymore. My cat deserves better.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, especially after feeding Viva for nearly two years. The bone in our recipes is finely ground, and while small visible pieces can occasionally be present, we completely understand why repeated concerns - especially alongside vomiting - would make you uncomfortable continuing to feed the food. We’ve reached out directly so we can review the specific packages and production information with you. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention!💜

My kids wouldn't touch it but it's a terrific food

I hate to rate this food a 1, because it's a terrific food and it's super easy to dish up. However my kitties wouldn't touch it. They smelled it, shook their paw, and walked away never to return. I'm so incredibly bummed out as I wanted them to like it.

Thanks so much for giving Viva a try, Kandi! We’re sorry your kitties weren’t quite convinced, even though we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the quality and convenience of the food. Cats can definitely have strong preferences, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We’ve also followed up with you via email with some additional information, so please feel free to take a look when you have a chance. Thank you again for your feedback and for giving Viva a chance. 💜

Happy I made the switch

My elderly girl is gaining weight and her fur is softer, she has more pep and is playing again. My 6 and 5 yr olds are more active and healthier as well and they can't get enough.

Love the minimal/recycle packaging /plant food ice.

My kitties love this food! They are always excited for mealtime. In addition to their enjoyment, it is super easy for me to portion out for them at feeding time. I also know they are getting the nutrients they need and that this food is keeping them more hydrated than kibble and canned.

Slow Starters LOVE this cat food!

Honestly, at first I didn't think my cats were going to take to Viva, but I've been persistent. Now, 5 out of 9 prefer Viva Raw over all other food choices. I believe the others will come around!

My 2 finicky cats are in LOVE with this food!

my 2 finicky cats are in LOVE with this food! they used to puke up all their food when I used to give them fancy feast and store-bought dry food - NOT with Viva! It seems to be much easier on their stomachs. They also just seem happier, shinier coats, lost a little weight (a good thing). They can't get enough! They are meowing like crazy at mealtime for the food, they sit by their dishes multiple times a day to see if I'll feed them - it's quite a change. the old food I used used to sit half eaten on their plate all day. I'm so happy!

I'm still trying to figure out the portion sizes tho; wish there was a bit more direction / guidance around that. And, hand in hand with that, still trying to fine tune how often my delivery needs to be. but that's minor; just so happy they're into this food.

Senior cat, NOT senior behavior

I’m so glad I did my research and chose Viva Raw. I’ve had my cat, AJ, since he was 3 months old. At almost 17 years old, now, he was slowing down and having digestive issues. Switching has changed him and he’s much more his lively and active self. I did the math and discovered we’ve significantly reduced the time, money, and waste of feeding and really improved his health.
This cat was lethargic and barely asked for food. He’d frequently chuck half of it up and have the most horrid smelling litter box. When I first gave him Viva Raw, especially the rabbit and duck, he ate like he had starved for years. He was impatient about the transition and we noticed how much good it was doing and how much he suffered on the canned cat food he had.
I really love the flexibility of changing order contents and was pleasantly surprised by the different seasonal or specialty meat options. The turkey didn’t agree with his tummy so I ordered the lamb this time around.
AJ is more active, we’ve eliminated runny stool and throwing up, and his fur is more full and soft. It’s so easy and convenient for me. Being autistic and ADHD, it helps so much that the shipments are automatically timed so I never run out and never have to battle a shopping trip. Thank you for giving me more time with my little guy. It means the world to me!

I will forever be a Viva Raw fan!

I began feeding VivaRaw to my ragdoll at 6 months old — he’s 3 now, and loves it just as much. Shipping my subscription has always been seamless, and they pack it very well — even on a hot summer day I didn’t have concerns. Lastly, their customer service is impeccable. They have always responded quickly, and come with a resolution every single time.

My 4 months old puppy loves her new food!

My 4 months old puppy loves her new food. Not many companies offer raw food formulation for puppies. Even though other raw food companies state that their food is for “all lifestages”, I still feel it’s probably more ideal for the optimal growth of the puppy to be eating food that matches the nutritional needs of a growing dog. I’m so happy that I found Viva. I love that they don’t put synthetic vitamins. Also in terms of cost comparison with other similarly high quality raw food, the cost is reasonable.
After my puppy grows into adulthood, she will transition to their other recipes. I plan to purchase the adult recipes soon for my other dogs. I’m so glad my new puppy allowed me to find this company. My other dogs will also benefit since they will be transitioning over to Viva!

My Cats Love VIVA!

I have 2 Highlanders and they love most of the varieties offered! One of them goes crazy for the venison so it sucks that it’s only a seasonal flavor. It did take a couple of weeks to get them used to eating raw, so don’t be discouraged if your cats aren’t showing much interest at first. I mixed in a little with their normal wet food and increased the amount over a couple of weeks. Now I mix it with a little broth just for added moisture. I had one delivery that was a couple of days late (FedEx’s fault), but customer service was great at helping replace it! I’m excited to try the other seasonal varieties when available. :)

We love Viva for our Ducky - Viva la Ducky!
Ducky is a dachshund mix and almost had to get surgery for bladder stones. With Viva she has no more problems with UTIs and struvite bladder stones and her weight is just perfect, even with her morning treats, for which she comes running down the hallway to get them. She loves the turkey, which is a cooling protein and she no longer needs medication from the vet. We can't speak more highly about this food =)

The food seems high quality

The food seems high quality, however my will only eat the duck and ignore all the other flavors

Hi Brandon, thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’ve been happy with the quality of the food, though we’re sorry your cat has only taken to the Duck recipe so far. Cats can be very particular about new proteins, textures, and aromas, so sometimes a slower introduction can help. Our team has reached out directly to assist and make sure you’re taken care of. 💜
