My chihuahua’s coat is marvelous. Soft and shiny, while his poops are nice compact and smell-less! My cats coat are never consistently soft, but they never and I mean NEVER turn the nose up to viva! I can trust that as long as the food price doesn’t spike up, they’ll be on this for the rest of their lives :) orange boy is pumpkin, Danny the man ( Chihuahua) and the old man turned cat is Melvin!
Both my Golden Retriever and my Chihuahua mix loves Viva Raw food. I really like that it has no synthetic vitamins and minerals added. I also like having a choice between the BARF and Prey models. I also like the quality sources of their meat.
When I got my rescue dog, Rosie, she was just coming recovering from a neck surgery three months earlier. She was still somewhat weak and she lacked coordination. I switched her to a raw diet when I got her but because she is only 8-9 pounds, she wasn't going through the frozen raw food quickly enough before it got freezer burn and yucky. It was a struggle to get her to finish the bottom third of a 4-lb. bag of frozen nuggets. Even the best quality ones.
I switched her to Viva about a month ago and I couldn't be happier. She loves her food and I don't worry about it going bad before she can finish it. She likes all the proteins and I am going to try the chunks on the next batch I order.
AND, she is so much stronger and healthier!! My animal communicator friend told me that Rosie's life force is so much brighter and stronger than when she last talked to her (before she was on Viva). I truly believe Viva is helping Rosie get to her healthiest. Thanks!
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
