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 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 USDA kitchens. This means we're holding ourselves to the higher food safety standards required for human food. Everything is made in small batches (each package is hand-labeled & checked for quality) and tested for pathogens, because your pet deserves the freshest food from farm-to-bowl.

Feeding amounts are based on your pet'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 & $2.50 / day for a 10lb cat if you are feeding a variety of our proteins. To determine your exact costs, we recommend filling out our short quiz for your pet.

If you're feeding our Dog or Cat recipes, you can just thaw and feed 🙌 these recipes are complete & balanced! We worked with multiple vets & nutritionists to develop these recipes & 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 pet with superfoods like shiitake mushrooms or mussels.

If you're feeding our Pure recipes, you will need to supplement to ensure your meals are complete & balanced. You can always reach out to our Nutrition Experts for info about balancing for your pet!
