      Apparently it's only valid on your very first purchase. I was trying to make my second purchase and heck they offered to refund me the discount on the previous order, which I thought was damn good of them. I have a cavachon. They are notoriously picky, apathetic eaters. I would actually spoon feed him at times, just to get him to eat on some kind of schedule while potty training. Then I get some Viva Raw and try to introduce it very slowly and by day 5 he's at the refrigerator door crying and whimpering for more.

    I’ve been using Viva raw to feed my dog for about a year now (or more). I absolutely love Viva, I’ve researched and researched and researched to try and find a different one to see if I could find a cheaper one that’s just as good and I haven’t been able to. They are the most economical with the highest quality, highly recommend!!!

    My con is cost, we feed our 4 Goldens with about all the ingredients she has disgust, primarily because we have gardens and grow our chemical free veggies. We also have access to excellent meat at reasonable prices. My point is ,we save hundreds of dollars by making our own. Difference is the work and time in preparation. Otherwise it would cost thousands to buy Viva. No doubt, they provide an excellent food source.

    We JUST ordered our very first meat package from Viva for our pup. We're doing the "Complete" version for her for right now, started with getting just 10lbs, 4lbs of beef, 4lbs of turkey and 2lbs of duck, we're gonna see how our pup likes it first before we make an official decision to continue buying from viva.....I've been struggling lately with getting a routine down with my pup, She's about 3 1/2 months old and has been on a raw diet since we got her at about 6wks old, first I mixed raw with kibble and eventually she went to straight raw, I also got the "Ground" version bc I haven't given her very much chunked meat yet....she still is at a place where she will refuse a meal when I give it to her sometimes, or in the morning she usually will not even want to eat a thing until after a couple hours goes by, and even then she will refuse her meal sometimes, I'm desperately trying to get her eating at LEAST 2-3 times a day since she's growing, so it's still a struggle sometimes....but I'm hoping she will come around and start eating normal soon, praying that with VIVA she will start to come around!!! Thank you so much for this video and opening me up to Viva Raw. And I watch mainly YOUR videos when I need information on Raw feeding my pets, I have 2 cats that I'm also JUST starting to raw feed using wet cat food, grinding up some meat and mixing it into their wet cat food, as of right now the cats won't touch raw meat unless it's mixed with the wet cat food, EXCEPT for small oily fish like sardines or even some salmon they will eat but anything else they won't yet! They will get there tho....Anyway, thanks for the info, can't wait to receive my meat package next week!!!!

    Thanks for all your videos!! I do have a question for you that I'm hoping you can help me with. I ordered viva for my dog and he just will not eat it!! I've tried doing the beef and the emu mixes and he has turned his nose up at both. I tried lightly cooking them next, and also tried mixing it with his favorite treats. The most he will do is taste it and spit it out. But he was eating raw meat from a different source with no issues. Do you think there is just something in their recipes he doesn't like? I'm so stuck. :(

    It's hard to get pre-made raw in other countries but also from what I have seen it's quite costly, you also have to work out shipping because these things need to be frozen and can't be left on the porch or under the sun for long periods of times. Even though some pre-made raw is good, also it makes it easier for pet owners, making it from scratch is less expensive and you always know whats in the food and you can costimize it to the needs of your pets.

      Veganism isn’t a great option for pets, especially cats (they’re obligate carnivores).
      A lot of nutrients are best derived from animal proteins, so while you could feed your dog a vegan diet, I doubt your dog will thrive on it.

      Personally, if I ever see any pet food company offer a vegan formula, it is a huge red flag for me and I stay far away. Dogs and cats are carnivores, they need meat. It’s just how they are biologically built. If you ever come across someone feeding their dog/cat vegan, nicely inform them that it’s not good for their pet’s health. Don’t judge them! That won’t make anyone listen. they are just misinformed, no need for judgement :)

      Right, the ingredients used are plant-based so a little questionable on bioavailability there, but the formulation was done by a few holistic vets and other nutritionists (not sure who besides Dr. Judy Morgan) so at this point it's really up to your discretion. My suggestion is to rotate between balanced pre-mades!
