While my three cats have eaten RAW, 2 stopped eating it a couple years ago, and will only eat canned fish. My third cat was easy to move to VIVA, she likes most of the choices, but wishes you offered pork. That’s her favorite. The other 2 fish eaters, are slowly coming back around to raw with a smidge of VIVA PURE mixed in. So far, 1 out of 3 cats likes Goat, 3 out of 3 like Turkey, Rabbit, and Chicken, 2 out of 3 dig the duck, and only 1 likes beef.

My multi-cat household really loves your duck recipe. Unfortunately, their acceptance of your other recipes vary from so-so to outright avoidance, especially the beef, which they initially liked, but have avoided the past two shipments.
Otherwise, shipping is fast and regular, the packaging is great, and I get notifications on shipping and delivery.

I love the company, shipping was very fast, I order the minimum 10 pounds the first time with variety and he loved nothing but the rabbit, so I was stuck with 8 pounds of food that he wouldn’t eat, they gave me the empty bowl guarantee! So I ordered again 14 pounds all rabbit one beef and one goat to try, well now he won’t eat not even the rabbit!!!! I hide it with pork that is what he likes but it separates the meat and if is mixed he won’t eat it! I tried with raw goat milk, chicken broth, I cooked the meat, I put treats on top, I put more pork, pecorino cheese, freeze dried on top 😫 nothing worked so again I’m stuck with I don’t know how much food that he won’t eat, I’m super sad about it because I did a lot of research on the company and trusted holistic veterinarians support this brand I trust the brand too but my cat won’t eat the food, it hurt o won’t say it is expensive because I think you are buying quality amd food that meets high standards

My previous brand did not offer a portion size calculator for puppies. I trusted the advice from my distributor and my puppies weren’t gaining weight. I saw this brand mentioned on the Facebook group I’m in. I checked it out and was impressed and thankful that you offered a puppy formula and provided how much to feed. And when the product came, I was surprised that I could see the raw pieces. It wasn’t this beige looking frozen brick! While it is on the pricey side, I appreciate the auto-ship convenience.

I’ve tried MANY brands of raw for my indoor / outdoor and foster cats. 2 will eat Stella & Chewys but none of the others . I have 6, that’s right SIX of currently 12 eating VIVA! I can only afford to supplement few but a little raw incorporated into a commercial diet is WAY BETTER than none!
I highly recommend trying VIVA for picky eaters. Reg Rabbit and Duck are the Favorites - Turkey right behind. They were not happy with beef at all but will eat raw ground beef - weirdos 🐈❤️

My cats absolutely love viva!!! Overall, my cats love all their flavors, but their favorite flavors are chicken, and turkey. I’ve been noticing that my cat's fur has been getting more shine, and also his energy has been higher and more stable since he started on his raw diet. Overall, a 10/10 food.

Our cats absolutely love this food. After the transition there has been a significant decrease in dander and shedding, our litter had been lasting longer and their energy levels have increased. Thanks so much for going the extra mile in these products and putting our fur family members health first and foremost! We are proud to be members of a clean plate club I'm with every meal.

The absolute best thing is we are feeding our cats a better healthier more transparent meal for far less money a month than the premium canned food we were using before! Before the switch we were spending about 12 dollars a day per cat. Viva has dropped that to about 4.25 on average( that's with an order of 3 packs of each protein, waaaaaay cheaper if we had kept to just turkey and chicken) this removed the final excuse we had to not make the switch.

The team at viva raw is fantastic too. They are super helpful during transition and have folks to answer questions if they arise.

I have previously tried other brands of raw food with my cats that never worked out. After noticing my cats favored duck and rabbit in canned food I wanted to see if they would like the raw versions of it and this was the only company that offered the two flavors. So I bought a few packs including Bison and it turned into a huge win! All of my three cats scarf down all of the food they've tried. I don't know how all the different raw food brands differ in regards to how it is all made but my cats sure know the difference. I also like how transparent they are on their IG profile, it is refreshing to see the honesty. Keep it up!

I could show you his bright clean white teeth, but tonight under lights at home, I want to show you my 3yo BC GSD mix who's coat is glossy becasue he has been eating VivaRaw for over 2 years. Everyone who sees him says how he looks so healthy and he really is. He has had one bath in the last year and his coat is fantastic all on its own. We love feeding VivaRaw to our 4 dogs ranging from 40 to 65 lbs and the price for the quality remains a huge bargain. I could not arrange this quality on my own.

I have a golden retriever. I am mixing some dry in with the raw. Probably 75% raw. He has always been a good eater. He is super excited to get his meal. His stools are probably half the size they were before the transition. One of the things Viva said would happen. I've also noticed he is shedding significantly less hair. While the cost of the food is fairly expensive, the benefits I'm seeing are worth the cost.

My pup Winston loves Viva Raw. Always looks forward to his meals and I love knowing he is getting good nutrition.

I was prepping raw on my own for six royal felines. It can be time consuming with keeping track of the suppliments and measurements. And I work long hours, seven days a week, so some days I worried about keeping them on their raw schedule . Viva makes things so convenient and easy to keep the kitties happy and satisfied (without the prep). I just defrost ahead of time, and open the package and whalla!…they come running. Six paws up ! …and two thumbs.

First I’ll say the shipping is fast and not as expensive as other places. I live in Hawaii so finding a place to ship here in general is hard.
I have 3 cats one is insanely picky, a kitten that is mildly picky, and a garbage disposal. The garbage disposal wants nothing to do with this food, I even try to hide it but he somehow knows and walks away. Kitten will eat it sometimes if I hide it with her other food. Picky eater typically turns her nose up to it even if I try to hide it.
My theory is that it’s like giving them broccoli for dinner instead of subway sandwiches. Maybe it’s too healthy and they don’t want healthy? They want chips and a subway sandwich. Idk. I’m trying but I’m throwing a lot of food away. I really want them to like it, but they don’t. Seems like a good product.

My two kittens 1 yrs old transitioned so easily after only 1 week and they are friskier than ever! Thank you from Katishaw and Nankipoo.

My sweet Maltese was having IBD issues off and on for the better part of a year. Test show inflamed small intestines so our holistic vet recommend a different protein with less fat. Viva has rabbit and our previous raw food company did not. It’s been a short week and a half and so far so good. I like the packaging and ease of ordering. Shipping took longer than expected. I will reorder as long as the diet is working for my little one.

Often imitated, never duplicated! Addie and Brynn are picky eaters but they LOVE Viva Raw Rabbit! It’s seriously their favorite!
Addie has food allergies and I searched high and low for the longest for something OTHER than poultry! I can’t tell you how happy I was to find rabbit!

After starting viva raw my pup refuses to eat anything else. He wouldn't even look at the kibble he used to love before lol! I have tried the beef, duck, chicken and turkey ground meat, and he loves it all! Definitely purchasing again 👍

My kitty is loving her new food. I will buy again for her.

I nervous my kitten was not going to like it or that it would cause tummy issues but he loves it so much! He will lick the plate clean and he gets so excited for meal time now. Also he hasn’t had any stomach issues so far and was easy to start him up on raw. We have just finished our first pack of chicken and just started duck today which he also loves! I have notice a increase of energy since when I first got him and now he runs climbs and plays with anything he can get his paws on! He also even softer now in such a short amount of time! The only negative I would say is that the box came damage but it was packaged really well so it was still frozen and came the next day when shipped. Definitely purchasing again though!

We're on our second order of Puppy formula, and I still need to warm it up for about 30 seconds for him, but he absolutely loves it. And while customer service is very busy (thanks, I'm sure, to the current bad news about most kibble, and the increase in raw feeding) they are very helpful.

My girl loves VivaRaw! She enjoys all the proteins. We started off with chicken, with no issues during the transition. In the rare instance where we get a new protein that she doesn’t eat, I sear it and then she smells it and gobbles it up! By the second package, she’s eating it completely raw. That only happened with the seasonal protein, elk. I love that Viva is human quality. She’s a happy girl with a beautiful coat and poops that barely smell. I highly recommend Viva.

My Ragdoll so far doesn’t like the chicken. Going to try Beef next. My Siamese loves it!! Just in the beginning stages, hopefully he will adjust to it.

Natural eating for my kitten is extremely important. I reviewed a few other raw foods brands and Viva was Highest organic raw and best price. My kitten loved the chicken on the first bite and we haven’t turned back since. Extremely pleased with the product and the customer service and speed of delivery is 110% in my experience.

We’ve only been feeding for about a week. Initially Barrett was suspicious of her new food. I tried lightly cooking and she started eating but now she’s adjusting to the raw and apparently loving it.
Too soon to see results but I’m optimistic.

Great product packed. Great, my dogs love it. Thank you.
