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!
For the first time in forever, she licks the bowl clean. Got the sampler pack (minus the beef since she's a feathered fowl kind of gal with rabbit for good measure since she grew up feral in the woods). She loves them all! Thank you, Viva, for a quality product for my fur baby.
My 10 month old Bengal kitten was switched over to the raw diet very seamlessly. Will never go back to processed dry food again. Reasonably priced too as raw diets are not cheap. I like the calculator that told me how much to feed her too!
My cat eats this food so fast. We have to keep the subscription going for sure!
I purchased a variety pack about 6 weeks ago and tried each type with my kitties. They love to eat it and it has totally changed their behavior. I mixed it with their previous cat food to introduce it like suggested and they took right to it. They are more playful and interactive and run more and play more and are more affectionate. I swear they are smarter and are displaying their personalities more strongly. I just reordered the rabbit, turkey and chicken again but ordered the select ones this time. I am trying the beef for the first time tomorrow. Anyway, I've been very happy with the Viva product line and am grateful to find this remarkable food for my cats.
I was already feeding my two kittens a homemade raw food diet, but with limited space I needed a readymade alternative. I wasn’t sure I’d find something that was both high quality and affordable. With ingredients such as blue oyster, not only is Viva Raw superior to what I was making at home, it costs less too!
My pup made an easy transition from kibble to Viva raw with no issues! He loves this healthy food 🥰
We have had a lot of cats over the years, mostly Bengals, feeding a healthy diet can be challenging and confusing, we now feel a quality raw food diet is the best for a long healthy life, we are trying Viva now, Nako is 5 months old and was raised on a raw diet that was made by his breeder, we don't want to make our own raw food so Viva seems like a good choice, so far we have tried the chicken and turkey, at first he would not eat it, so I started mixing an egg yolk and salmon oil with the food, he now eats the chicken but still not the turkey, so for now we will stay with the chicken, Viva has responded to all my emails quickly with helpful ideas which is important to us, we'll keep trying and see how things work out.
No prescription needed which is great. My cat likes it and he has a sensitive stomach and allergies to most foods. So these select protiens are great. And its cheaper than the veterinary office. I work in a vet office for 25 years.
I did my rounds of research for raw feeding for my bengal kitten for days before I settled with Viva. And it is the best decision I made. My kitten recognizes the shipping box and knows his meals are here. Only mistake I made is I didn't plan his meal deliveries accordingly. So the first 2 orders, we finish them before our next shipment were even processed. But overall my fat energetic muscular kitten loves Viva!
My two 4 month old puppies have been very finicky eaters. They just love Viva Raw!
My 2 cats have been eating another brand for the last 3 years. We had to switch brands due to shipping concerns/quality. We tried several other brands that my cats did not care for...until we found Viva. Now? My Ragdoll actually stands on her hind legs crying for it as I am preparing it. She has never done that with any food before.
My pup loves the Turkey & Beef combo. No more kibble for her. Added some veggies and egg for added flavor.
Absolutely love the ease, plus we have picky cats but we've not had an issue with Viva.
they get half viva raw and half dry food (i don’t mix them together). they scarf down the viva raw; they love it. there is one flavor that they do not like and will not eat. i won’t say which one it is so that you don’t automatically not buy that flavor because your animal might enjoy that flavor; i only mention it because that was the first flavor i tried and i thought, “oh no, they don’t like this.” but it wasn’t true. they just didn’t like that flavor. every other flavor they are obsessed with.
Prepping their raw meals with one arm was tiring and time consuming, on top of cooking our own meals. So, I decided to go with Viva Raw. I dont have to go searching for the parts that my dogs need to complete their diet! My senior has sensitive skin and stomach and does better on raw, any other dog food and his skin issues flares up and it’s soft stool for days! It helps him maintain his weight, shiny coat and his teeth clean. I also noticed that his mobility has improved!
I am so happy I found this product. My cat was diagnosed with IBD last year and nothing was helping him. He had been getting worse and worse with no relief, and I was at the point of discussing with my vet quality of life. This product was a last-ditch effort and he was like a different cat within the first week. I’m so grateful.
My Bogie got sick on his birthday and spent it in ER. Was told he had a serious illness but after several tests, he didn't. Vets suspected food allergies. He seems allergic to chicken. So far the Viva rabbit has been working well. He eats too fast so will work on that, but very pleased so far.
One of our kittens is sensitive to changes or richer meats, but loves the poultry options. My other will eat everything! I wish the cat food came in a chunky option but they still go nuts for the ground food. Great price and quality! It helps that I warm up their food in a bowl on top of a bowl of hot water so it’s prey temperature and releases the aromas:)
Our Bengals continue to live the blend of the complete meal for cats! Also, I love it because of the customer service and the quick delivery. I made a mistake and cancelled my monthly order, but the Viva Raw team responded immediately, pulled my payment and mailed the food the same day. I had the emergency supply within 2 days!! 🤯
Loyal Customers!

He loves everything except for some stuff. Not much of a picky eater but his stomach says otherwise. We tried raw and he still had complications. When we tried Viva, he loves the food and there has been changes—major changes. The biggest one, his BMs are becoming firm. The other is his weight. He is finally gaining weight and growing and it makes this momma happy. Love this brand and will be getting more.
