Since moving over to the raw diet with base mix, and other supplements, it's been life changing for her, and me! We monitor her twice a year with bloodwork to ensure she is getting a balanced diet and her bloodwork is always better than it was on the kibble (she had a few deficiencies). 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. It's been life changing and I'm so happy I found Viva to give her all of this with a brand that I believe in and trust.

My cats and I love, love, LOVE this product! I had been buying a different commercial brand at my local pet store and it just looks... well blah. Viva Raw looks fresh and like something I am proud and happy to serve my pets. I appreciate that they ship in small quantities so I’m not obligated to fill a huge box I can’t store that much anyway. In order to buy from these other places I must find other people to split an order with me so that I can afford to fill a huge box. Viva doesn’t do that and will ship as little as 15 pounds. No problem. I love that they have single proteins in varieties my cats can eat.
We've answered a few common questions right here. If you don't find what you're looking for, check out our FAQs.
We're proud to be sourcing high quality, USDA human-grade ingredients from smaller farms. These are the same farms that stock your local Whole Foods & favorite restaurants. We hold our suppliers to the same Viva standard that we practice ourselves, and are proud to be supporting local businesses & farms whenever possible.
We never partner with organizations that give animals hormones and antibiotics, or support overcrowding at farms. Here at Viva, we believe that the quality of life of the animals we use directly impact the quality of the food we create.
We ship M-W & always send your package out on the following business day (i.e. if you order on Monday, expect it to ship out on Tuesday)! You can learn more about our shipping schedule depending on your location here.
For customers we are able to service with ground transit, we are proud to be offering a flat-fee shipping rate between $15-25 depending on your zone. We have a minimum order size of 10LBs & the flat-fee applies for every 80LBs. You can absolutely order more than 80LBs, just know that another shipping fee will be applied for the next 80LB when you check out! Ordering in 80LB increments will be always be the most cost efficient.
For select areas that we have to ship to with Express, we offer a 2 or 3-day express option to ensure your order arrives fresh & frozen. The total charge is based on weight & destination and we recommend ordering in 36 LB increments to save.
If you ask your pet, they’ll tell you they need everything in the fridge. Lucky for you, we have some more sensible guidelines:
Feeding Guidelines (per day)
Activity
% Bodyweight to Feed
Oz to Feed per 10LBs Bodyweight
Low / Overweight
1.5%
2.5
Average
2.5%
4
Above Average
3.0%
5
High / Weight Gain
4.0%
6.5
Growth (0-6 mo)
6-10%
9.5 - 16
As an example, a 50 LB dog who has average activity level would eat 2.5% of its bodyweight daily, or 4 oz x 5 = 20 oz. A 10 LB cat who is overweight would eat 1.5% of their bodyweight daily, or 2.5 oz. These numbers provide a good starting point for most pups & cats.
If feeding smaller or toy dog breeds (< 20LBs), it's important to add 1-1.5% to all percentages since smaller dogs will need more food as a percentage of their bodyweight. For example, you would feed an average activity level large dog 2.5% but a smaller breed 3.5-4.0% instead.
If you're feeding puppies or kittens instead, you will need to feed a higher amount of food to fuel all that growth! Pups & kittens less than 4 months old may require up to 10% of their bodyweight daily (often in more frequent meals, i.e. 3 instead of 2 per day). This dips to 6% of bodyweight daily by the 6 month mark and will continue falling to the 2-4% when they are adults!
As always, each pet is unique and these amounts can and should be adjusted based on their needs. Reach out to us if you have specific questions about feeding amounts and we'd be happy to help! If you haven't already, also make sure you check out our transitioning guide for raw.
Complete Recipes are complete and balanced to AAFCO guidelines for adult dogs. If you're new to raw feeding & have a dog, we highly recommend that you start here! You won't have to worry about toppers and supplementing your pup's meals—just thaw, portion & feed. If you're looking to feed a puppy, you just have to add one or two more things to round out the complete meals; don't hesitate to reach out for recipe recommendations or a recommended nutritionist.
Pure Recipes are nutrient-dense & prey model-based at 80% muscle, 10% secreting organ, 10% bone. These are the perfect base for cats, ferrets, or just pet parents who are looking build their own meals. Whether your fur baby has sensitivities, a picky palate, or you just enjoy spicing up mealtime in your own way, our Pure Recipes are a trusty go-to!
Both Complete & Pure Recipes are single-protein to ensure they are as allergy-friendly as possible.
