Butters has had food/digestion issues for years, having been over medicated and his gut flora was destroyed. We've been on over a dozen different foods, including the "prescription" foods that were tried in haste. After much research, we stumbled upon VIVA and WOW, GAME CHANGER! The food is beautifully fresh, neatly packaged, great communication with the company, we couldn't be happier. We are with VIVA for life!
Thank you!
Raw has been life changing for her! We do bloodwork 2x/year to ensure she is getting a balanced diet and her bloodwork is always better than it was on the kibble. Her skin and coat are BEAUTIFUL, someone asked me once if I put oil on her!! Her gastro issues have cleared up, her teeth are beautiful and clean, her eyes are bright, her muscle tone is amazing and her energy and alertness has improved. I'm so happy I found Viva!
So excited for mealtime!
Harley has been on the raw diet for almost 3 years and we’ve tried many different companies. For sure Viva has been her favorite! Doesn’t matter what meat, she will do spins, drool, and whine until she’s fed. Thank you for providing a brand that is so wholesome and doesn’t break the bank.
We're proud to be sourcing high quality, USDA-inspected meat from smaller farms. These are the same farms that stock your local Whole Foods & favorite restaurants. We only work with farms that never administer hormones & antibiotics (a huge step up from conventional) & are certified humane through third-party audits like G.A.P. or the American Humane Program. By not relying on chemicals, our farmers focus on providing high quality food and a clean environment to raise healthy, happy animals.
We grind, mix & package all of your pup's meals in our kitchens—where we are the first and only pet food made in our facility that also produces human food. And you better believe we’re proud of it. Everything is made in small batches (each package is hand-labeled & checked for quality) and tested for pathogens, because your pup deserves the freshest food from farm-to-bowl.
Feeding amounts are based on your dog's weight, age, and activity level. We recommend checking out our calculator to determine your pet's personalized feeding recommendations using Viva—we worked closely with our nutritionists & used the latest research to develop these!
On average, our food will cost $6-7 / day for a 30lb dog if you are feeding a variety of our proteins. To determine your exact costs, we recommend filling out our short quiz for your pup.
Nope! Just thaw and feed 🙌
Our food is Complete & Balanced for adult dogs. We worked with multiple vets & nutritionists to develop these recipes over the course of an entire year & lab-tested over 50 unique whole food ingredients in the process. This rigorous process at Viva is to ensure that our meals not only meet minimum nutrient requirements, but go above and beyond to improve the overall health of your pup with superfoods like shiitake mushrooms or mussels.
If you're feeding a puppy (< 1 year old), check out our Complete for Puppies instead for optimized nutrition during the growth stage! You can always reach out to our Nutrition Experts with additional questions.
If you're new to our food or have a picky eater, then we recommend getting Ground since it will be easier to to mix and portion. If you're comfortably feeding Viva, then we encourage trying the Chunked! Chunk sizes are 1-2 inches in size and are a great choice if your pet prefers more texture, for hand-feeding, or even if you're just curious what's in your pet's food! We've had pets of all sizes, including cats & ferrets do great on our chunky blend 💜
We ship to all of the US & offer FREE shipping for all orders over $250! (not applicable to Alaska, Hawaii & certain areas of Texas & Montana due to coverage). For orders under $250, we offer a flat-fee rate between $10-20 depending on your zone.
We ship orders M-W each week and you'll receive a tracking number once your package ships! We always ship out orders the next available shipping day.
Nope, not at all! While we recommend subscribing so that your shipments come automatically & you never run out of food, you can always order one-time boxes too (just choose this option on the confirmation page)!
