I have 2 cats, both picky eaters. One loves all the bird flavors, and one loves the turkey. You can tell just by looking that the meat is fresh and includes the blood, organs, and bones, which true carnivores like cats really need, though it might seems gross to humans. Since I switched to Viva, I've noticed cleaner teeth, better breath, and no more vomiting. I'm glad to find a clean, high quality product for a reasonable price.
We have been cooking food for our 15 year old black lab for the last 5 years and have never been able to get it right. His poops were always just runny liquid. We tried leaving things out one at a time and making substitutions. His diet was just real meats and eggs.
Since Viva, his poop has firmed up within just a couple of days! They leave no residue on the grass and pick up cleanly. The poops are surprisingly small too. Apparently, his body uses all of the nutrients with little waste. He loves his food (even though it looks terrible to me). We were spending $300/month and 6 hours cooking his food. Viva costs more but the savings of time are totally worth it. 10/10
Food was as described with good packaging and portions for the price.
I started feeding Viva Raw to my 4 month old Aussie Retriever and she LOVES it!!! She can barely contain herself when I am preparing her food. Really makes me feel good that she is getting the best quality food I can get for her.
Zero absolutely loves Viva Raw. His favorite is Chicken! He always licks the plate clean and his body loves it! He’s so soft and shiny and I believe it is because of what he eats! 😊
Chester LOVES his raw food. We offer plenty of variety on his plate and viva is the first thing he goes to everytime. He’s gained healthy weight, become more playful, and has overall acted a lot happier since switching to viva and giving him something he enjoys!
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Viva Raw. Their customer service is the best. I wholeheartedly recommend Viva Raw
I have a 6-month old kitten, and she absolutely loves it, her fur is shiny and has literally the softest fur I've ever felt!
This is Aylen, she’s watching the US Open tennis tournament while recovering from surgery. She had a mass removed from her small intestinal tract a few weeks ago. This is how I found Viva. I have recommended and exclusively fed raw food for over 20 years, so I’m pretty knowledgeable about many of the raw diets that are available. When Aylen had the tumor removed, I set out to find the best raw diet that I could. Viva is just that diet. I love the ingredients and Aylen is thriving! I highly recommend feeding Viva to any four-legged kid!

Olaf went from a friskies diet, to raw foods and he is like a kitten again. He does not like the duck, or the turkey so much but absolutely loves the rabbit.
Viva is amazing. My dogs absolutely love the food. Both Olley and Abbey have been on raw since they were about 3 months old. I have had to change a couple of times due to the fact that my girl is very picky. However, now knowing that I can lightly sear the meat when she does become picky gives me a huge piece of mind. The other thing I noticed is that they do not even come close to eating the recommended amount of 48 oz. each. However, they have never been big eaters and we live in AZ where it is incredibly hot. They do both eat a total of 32 oz. each per day and dance happily when it is time for their meals.
In the past 20 years of being owned by cats, I have tried to get them to eat raw. None of them ever liked it enough for a total conversion, so I gave up. Something made me try Viva, and as of 10 minutes ago, my one holdout ATE IT WITH GUSTO!!!! (I may have shoved a piece in his mouth after a few sniff-refusals) ALL 3 LOVE IT. I am so astounded/ecstatic!!! Thank you so much!!! This is amazing.
My kitties, Binx and Bo, love their new Viva Turkey for Cats! A month after making the switch, both boys seem to have more energy for zoomies, and their coats are silkier than ever!
My Maligator loves her yummy food! She is an athlete and needs all the nutrition she can get. Her fur is super soft, she is healthy and is building muscle.
My kittens haven't been eating high quality canned cat food. Though they love it, their stools smelled horrible and were very loose. From the moment they git their first taste of Viva, not only did they devour it but their stools become perfect almost overnight. So far we've tried Turkey and Duck and they loved them both. The food came to the door beautifully packaged. Appreciate that everything was recyclable also. So happy I took the chance and tried Viva. Customer for life!
Switched from other brands. It is difficult to locate raw "rabbit", as a "cool" protein, at a reasonable cost. I tried Viva and was impressed with the packaging, which keeps the product fresh and free from freezer burns, as well as the quality of the product. My dogs have been raw fed for many years. They really like Viva, and I feel good being able to give them this high quality raw meat.
This is the second time I’ve placed an order for the “pure” chicken and my cats love it! My cats seem so happy, no more throwing up and just seem to have a lot more energy. I do use a vitamin supplement which is easy to add to this food.
The full process from placing my order to receiving my order was outstanding. They provide details on the status of your order, it shows up packed in a cold box with dry ice and the product is still frozen! For living out in the desert I feel very lucky that it’s still frozen when it arrives.
Prices are very reasonable, ran a comparison from the wet/dry kibble to RAW and they are very comparable in cost.
My kitties are excited for meal times!
So far my three cats are still in transition but I know the kittens are excited to eat. The older cat who is 10 is still looking at me like I’m crazy but she seems to be getting better. She did love the duck. She doesn’t seem to be a fan of the beef but again, still transitioning. Plus she isn’t happy with the kittens. The kittens eat it all up and do seem more energetic. I did notice the older cat playing for the first time in years. That was great.
My Leonidas loves a raw diet. We switched to viva in order to introduce novel proteins into his diet. So far so good. The rabbit and chicken are a hit
He is now a member of the Clean plate club-loves the pork. Can’t wait for him to try the other recipes.
My Jumbo loooves Viva Raw, grounded or in chunks, he literally cleans up his bowl every meal time! I has never seen him so happy before! I love to see him "dancing" when is time to feed him. I will keep getting Viva for him as far as I can afford it. Im so glad I decided to give it a try ❤️
I just made the switch for my Maine coon and even in just about three weeks now I can see changes in him! A bit of background… I lost a cat to a three year battle of kidney failure, earlier this year. Now the vet is telling me my other cat, my Maine coon, is now showing signs of early kidney disease too. The fact that a second cat could possibly go through the same thing sparked something in me to do a deep dive and deep research on the food we give our pets, including the pricey kidney prescription foods, I once gave my other cat and is now being prescribed to my current cat. I figured there’s no way they are getting these diseases from anything else. After learning so much about the processed crap pet food we get at the stores I wanted to find a raw meat and hopefully prevent a second cat from developing these diseases, Viva has so many videos on their ig showing the extensive research, care, and quality that they put out with their food. And after checking out so many different brands of raw food, this one seemed like the best choice for me! my cat only took three days to make the switch and now he absolutely loves it! He’s 11 years old, but is starting to look and act like a kitten again! His fur is becoming shinier and softer. His eyes are bright. And now after he eats instead of wanting to lay around lethargically, he wants to play and is full of life! I strongly suggest anyone thinking about this to give it a try and be patient when switching with your cat or dog. I cannot wait to see the long lasting effects with my baby in the time to come. I just added a subscription, yay!
The folks at Viva are so eager to please not just the pets who eat their food but also the humans who buy it! I'm really happy I found Viva and will be buying their food from now on!
Maisie is a happy camper! She loves the ground chicken, and it may just be the silver bullet to relieve her yeast problem. Too soon to know for sure but it's looking promising. Next order we are trying chunks of chicken, turkey and beef!
