I spent a lot of time looking for a fresh food for my cat and dogs that utilized organ meats to meet the nutritional requirements rather than synthetic vitamins. I was also looking for affordable options. While I was not necessarily looking for a raw food, I came across Viva. I appreciated that it was directly stated that these diets can be cooked (better for my household) on the stovetop. I find it's a great tasty way to feed my pets.
My cat loves this food and can't get enough of it. It seems to help her coat be shiny and less greasy than canned or dry options. It also helps to decrease her inflammation and asthma.
The website was really easy to use and I love that their information is accessible without having to give my email address. Communication has been great with them as well.
Easy to order and I have never seen a cat who can’t wait to get their next serving. Good stuff!
I ordered the 10LB sampler for my cat last week. She couldn't gooble it down fast enough.
I reached out to customer service for a mistake I had made on a future order. They were super helpful and fixed the issue.
I am a FAN!
I just finished opening my Viva Raw order!!! I LOVE these precious little paw print molds!!! Such a great idea!!! Deana - my Maine Coon cat - has a tendency toward getting constipated, so I add a bit of pumpkin to her meals. I open a can of pumpkin (organic BPA free of course!!) and freeze it into ice cube trays and store them in a zip lock bag. 1 ice cube lasts her several meals. Now I can do paw print pumpkin cubes!!! LOL!!!
Deana is super excited about venison for dinner tonight. I am super excited about my paw print molds!!! I love the color purple as well!!! You guys ROCK!!!!
Blessings to you all!!! Flo and Deana
My Sphynx does incredible on a raw food diet and has been loving her Viva. Even my senior cat (who is generally picky) has been keen to give it a try. So far, everyone approves!!
I have been feeding them raw for years. They devoured your brand as much. I like the firmer consistency and limited ingredients.
Customer Service is exceptional! Very fast shipping and high quality ingredients! My frenchie looks forward to his meals now! He licks the bowl clean every single time. I have tried other raw food companies but nothing compares to Viva! I highly recommend feeding Viva to your fur babies. I only will feed mine high quality, premium food and the ingredients in Vivas recipes are exceptionally premium! His skin and coat look amazing! Frenchie approved!
Viva raw cat food has been a wonderful switch for my furry baby. The cat meals are finely ground and dense compared to are old food. We found that feeding Viva has slowed down how quickly my cat eats, instead of gobbling the food down in 2.5 seconds he eats slower and stays full longer and seems much more content after a viva meal. We like that there are so many choices keeping meal time interesting. I like the portion size of each meal package and, I am glad we tried Viva.
I used many different types and I have to say Viva Raw is by far the very best. They are very generous with the amount as well worth the price.. also the quality is excellent!
It was a long and though out decision to switch my cat's food, again, as they are extremely picky with anything new. However I'm happy to report that they absolutely love it! We ordered rabbit, chicken, and duck. So far they annihilated the rabbit.
We have fed our kittens Smalls diet since we got them and I was curious to try feeding raw because of all of the potential benefits. They are leery of the duck, but we are working on it. They devour the chicken. We didn't even have to transition the chicken. The order arrived just cold enough to keep. This needs to be packed significantly better for summer month shipping.
My 3 year old cat pocket is super picky and this is one of the brands that he loves to eat. I highly recommend Viva
My cats love the chicken! Especially Inky the sign shop mascot. Viva customer service handled a delay issue with the delivery company with expertise and quick resolution.
My 15 year old Bentley is the pickiest dog in the world and I have gifted so much food to neighbors over the past years. I started cooking for him but it was so time consuming that I was missing out on weekends with my granddaughters. VIVA is the exact ingredient I used and I was so delighted when I stumbled upon it.
I have had my ragdoll 7 months, tried many different can foods of higher quality. Could not get my cat Daisy to have a normal bowel movement. It was consistently very loose. 3 days on Viva raw, and at last solid firm bowel movement. Wow! Not to mention she transitioned well, and loves it! Thank you Viva!! We are both happy campers.
We were struggling with our food when I noticed a friend giving her car Viva, and it looked good, like the kind of food my Kito would like. She had started rejecting another similar brand, tried another even higher end one and that was totally rejected, but Viva looked really good and we were desperate so I ordered a sample box. Before we even finished that box, my 10 year old was jetting around like I hadn’t seen her move in a long time—her energy is fantastic! She was down to 1-2 bowel movements a week and now she goes almost every day.
Viva has been sooo good for us and I’m very very grateful. Our favorites are Rabbit, Duck and Pork. Solid no on Beef, reluctance on Chicken. I just placed a new order a one thing didn’t come, but Viva seems like a solid company and they’ll take care of it well. So far both orders have been delivered still frozen, which I cannot say about the other companies we bought from.
Thanks sooo much for making a solid product!
Weeza Mae is ecstatic now that she is eating Viva raw food...she talks to me in the morning til she gets her Viva....she runs to her eating space as I bring it to her...she is most affectionate now that Viva is her food...A world of difference in her because of Viva raw food...oh yes I am going to mix up the servings i.e. chicken, turkey, rabbit and duck...
What I appreciate most is the ingredient transparency. The food looks and smells fresh, and I like knowing exactly what’s in it without fillers or unnecessary additives. The portions are easy to thaw and serve, and customer service has been helpful whenever I had questions about transitioning to raw feeding.
My cats used to be on a raw food diet for a few years but I had to take them off the diet because my family and I had financial struggles. When the time was finally right again to put them back on a diet, we went with Viva and haven’t looked back! My cats love Viva and they give such decent portions for my cats to have a healthy diet. Viva gives many opportunities for receiving credit towards the next purchase. I’m so thankful to have found Viva and that my cats love it!
My dog is a very picky eater. I tried many similar cooked dog food and he turned his nose away from them. I finally found the one that he likes, Ollie. And honestly, his energy is better even at his tender age of 12. Thank you, Ollie, for making food that doggie likes.
I started Cooper on the Viva raw food when it arrived last week and he loves it. He hasn’t had any problems with transitioning from his kibble and dried food mix. He has eaten the beef, chicken & turkey so far and loves them all. Thank you for making feeding raw so easy!

Since my cat is extremely allergic to chicken finding food he can eat that isn’t filled with extras you can’t pronounce, Viva only uses things you can pronounce. I’ve seen a change in how he acts, his fur is much softer and his overall wellbeing is much better since using Viva. On top of that my cat seems to love this food compared to other raw diets I’ve tried. He’s not young anymore and I feel like he’s getting everything he needs to improve his health and longevity. Would highly recommend to someone who’s looking for a complete raw diet.
When I was a kid, my parents aways fed our cats raw meat and fish. Of course they could get cheaper cuts then or fed them fish they caught. I tried to do the same but over the years, it became too expensive. So I had to resort to canned food which actually gave my Calico allergies. I have broken down the price of between decent canned food and Viva and Viva came out cheaper. That included tax and shipping. I'm feeding five cats, so I am relieved at the savings and the health benefits of the ingredients Viva adds in. Best way to aviod vet bill (and human doctor bills) starts with the diet.
We have struggled for years with our cat having GI issues and going outside of the litter box. He has been on the Turkey for 2 weeks and we have a happy cat! He has used the litter box consistently and stools are normal. He seems much more affectionate now that his tummy feels good!
