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 pup'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!

This will vary depending on your pup's size, activity level & age. On average, our food will cost $5-7 / 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 single-protein recipes are Complete & Balanced for adult dogs & we also have a Beef & Turkey Puppy Recipe. 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 are feeding a puppy (< 1 year old), definitely make sure to use our Complete for Puppies for optimized nutrition during the growth stage! You can always reach out to our Nutrition Experts with additional questions or to ask for a customized feeding plan.
