I think Hills Science Diet is the best for my puppy, small Bites Kibbles it's the best.
Yes, I'm one of those. I'd prefer to gently cook a great raw &complete meal product/diet. T
Viva did refund me for the contaminated food, but not for the entire purchase of the bad food, refund was only for the remaining uneaten food. Is this common practice in the raw pet food industry? Doesn’t make sense to but maybe it’s just me?
CanYou just rehydrate the kibble?
What do we use in place of chicken gizzards? My dog doesn’t tolerate chicken
I've had no problems with this food in my pets rotation. I feed a few different brands including diy. If you're that scared just lightly cook it. I do that to. Its the FDA I don't trust. They've been poisoning me for decades.
Consistancy to report this with Threat & ACTION required! Im truely convinced that we as humanity STILL have YET to EVOLVE we are behind by at least a hundred years if not more when it come to the way we treat and care for animals in many categories of life!
Who knew the Amish was terrible people it’s always people like that preaching god is the worst smh ! 🤦♀️
As someone who has been feeding Viva to my beloved dog and cat, I can say that my two have never been happier and healthier.
They cannot be trusted, no matter what they say or how “confident” they are in their methods. Being open about their issues doesn’t save pets
Just can't stand people who go raw for their pets but are afraid of some bacteria. The whole point of going raw in the first place is to give our pets the natural nutrients the protein provides. Companies that process their raw foods through HPP or radiation pretty much sterilized the meat from all forms of bacteria including the good ones! Viva Raw please don't go this route and stay as is. Thanks!
I have a lactating cat, would I just double her portion. Also do you have a recipe for kittens?
We like to use SmallBatch for kittens! It works for all stages of their life: drjudymorgan.com/products/smallbatch-freeze-dried-meal-bites-for-cats-10oz?_pos=3&_sid=c0caf1702&_ss=r
Don't stay behind trucks...
My pooch gets premium gourmet food lovingly made at home by Chef Mom. 😍
I have been feeding my two dogs VIVA raw for a number of months now. Given the recent pathogen recall, I decided to lightly cook the raw food in hopes of eliminating any potential problem. I checked their website and they state that their food can be lightly cooked for 3-5 minutes without a problem to the quality of the food. I feel a little safer now that I am doing this step in feeding the food to them. I started feeding VIVA because Dr. Judy Morgan is on their website endorsing it for healthy pets.
Thank you!!! Expose them all!!!❤
why are you now backing out hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. you cannot beat them. stop messing with something you you can not win
Someone should send this to the jokers at BK Pets on how to not make a rash impulse post. They've got a lot to learn as it is.
I was surprised and disappointed by their comments
I agree
I use Raw Wild and The Farmers Dog food… Any pros or cons on these products?
Would love to hear more from them I personally love their product.
I have been feeding Honest Kitchen Cat food. Second ingredient is dehydrated sweet potato, and dehydrated potatoes. Now I am questioning this diet, it doesn’t seem right I have a Mama cat who is have problems nursing her kittens.Do you have a cat food recipe for lactating cats, and also for kittens as they are weaned in a few weeks. Kittens are 1 week old. Only 2 kittens survived out of 5. Could it have been from the mama cats diet. It said for all stages of life. Crude Protein min 42 % crude fat 28% crude fiber 2.5%. How do I figure how much carbohydrate is in it?
Been using this food from their beginning. Love it and so do my healthy dogs.
Just FYI dogs are biologically considered what is called a facultative carnivore. There's obligate vs facultative.
While I can appreciate the transparency, I am still hesitant to purchase Viva Raw after following Hera_her_story. I wish Dr Judy would reach out to Hera's owner and share her side of the story too.
The university ( I think U.C Davis) that did a necropcy on the dog said that it had salmonella but that was not what killed it. Salmonella is something that does not harm a healthy animal.
@@amandajackson668 They tested positive for Salmonella and Listeria. I wonder why Viva Raw issued a letter of compensation offer if, like you said, Hera did not die from eating the recalled batch of Viva Raw. Based on the letter (posted on Hera_her_story on Instagram), the letter stated if Hera's owner were to accept the money, then she can no longer speak publicly about the brand and she has to delete all previous posts. From what I know, others have also spoken up about their dogs getting sick after consuming recalled products issued by the brand. Is 2 recalls within 6 months usual when it comes to commercial raw food? I am genuinely trying to learn.
Looks like my reply has been removed, but here it is again and hopefully it won't be removed again. Yes, the batch tested positive for salmonella and listeria. I am curious as to why Viva Raw made the decision to offer Hera's owner a letter of compensation offer and stated if she were to take the money, then she can no longer make posts publicly about the company and she will have to remove all her previous posts about it. I know the owner didn't take the money because she wanted to spread awareness.
@@Jessmeee808 Her food did, not Vivas batch. Spread awareness of what? That food especially food can get contaminated during transport or during your handling of it. If they did offer her money it’s because she lost a pet and has vet bills the ND agreement part is to prevent harassment when she knew what she was getting herself into. You should always get your pet a thorough exam involving blood, urine and fecal testing before switching to raw especially when it’s a young animal.
@@amandajackson668 Was Hera unhealthy prior to eating Viva Raw? I wonder. Also, was it clear that the owner didn't handle the raw food correctly?
Thank you for the information. I have been feeding your food to my dog and cat for well over a year and am very happy with your products, as are my animals. 🙂
Love Viva! ❤️ They do much more than other companies and truly care for our pets. They helped me figure out what my cat was allergic to and refunded me for all the packs he couldn't eat. That's amazing of them, especially since they are a small company. Also I believe they did everything right during BOTH recalls. 👏🏽 I could go on about why I believe this, but I know everyone has their own opinions. I only ask people do research! Don't just trust what you read on social media. Read actual reports by the FDA and UC Davis. And the fact that Dr Judy still recommends them speaks volumes! Notice how she doesn't recommend We Fed Raw. 😉
Really appreciate the questions asked. Thinking of switching to raw/gently cooked & is very concerning the fact that doing so could harm my cats/dogs. Explanations cleared up a few questions. Because of horrific practices in traditional harvesting of rabbits for pet food, skinning them Alive, what is Viva's harvesting practice concerning rabbits, hopefully onky "meat" rabbits?
please email them directly with any product related questions
I think transparency is # 1 , and I feel like this company stands by there food even though some things are uncharted. Where as no pet owner trust the big pet food company's because they don't care about our pets . We need to show the FDA and bad pet food company's that aren't transparent that we will stand behind company's like viva that are very transparent. I think all pet food company's need to take a hard look at themselves and see it can be done if you put an effort rather that be raw or kibble . Thanks doctor judy and viva raw , I always learn so much
I'm so unbelievably grateful to you guys drawing awareness to this and many other topics. I know my Vet loves my dogs but she is so busy and brainwashed that I don't know how to have her listen to the things I learned without her interrupting it as an insult. I tried with the flea & tick
Thank you for making this video. I was surprised by the recall, and was questioning whether or not to purchase their dog foods. We lost our sweet Boxer girl a few months ago 😢, due to contaminated (poisoned?) dog food. It was a nightmare. We are now VERY cautious about everything we feed our other pets. We have NOT fed Viva yet, but they are on our list of "good" foods. We are in the process of learning to make our own whole/real food dog meals, but want pre-made backups in case of emergency/illness/travel/vacation.
Although I no longer feed Viva Raw since I am complete DIY RAW for the last ten months, I feed my German Shepherd Viva Raw Puppy for the first four months of her puppy hood and I know the following: it’s clearly human food grade ready to eat/feed and every time I opened a package, I was overwhelmed by the fresh smell, and delicious aroma and honestly knowing it was for my puppy, didn’t change how delicious, appetizing and tempting it was for me !!!! Its shipped frozen and it’s timed to arrive during the week, never being stuck sitting somewhere on non delivery or work days and they instruct you to determine a shaded place for it be left at your home and for you to note those delivery instructions on the package itself with shipper once you receive the tracking number for your shipment The shipment packaging is above and beyond, the box is 100% insulated and inside that is your frozen food. There are instructions for storage and thawing Mine took more than two days in the fridge to thaw for feeding and this was after the two days of transportation delivery to me. EVERY BIT OF WHAT I SHARED IS OUTSTANDING QUALITY IN THEIR PRODUCT, DELIVERY AND FEEDING TO YOUR DOG I used other similarly sourced products from other similar small national and local companies and many work many were similar but nothing but nothing not one ever beat it in the freshness of the food the quality of the delivery the quality of the customer service or anything else so whatever it is that they’re doing I know that they’re doing it right and you know I get it and I’m so sorry they’ve had this bump in the road, but I hope people don’t give up on them because they’re the best as far as I’m concerned I do DY DIY now because I have the time I’ve since I’m downsized and moved and being retired. I now have the time to do just that for my dog and I enjoy it, but there were such an important link for me getting her from puppyhood to adults and I’m very grateful for viva raw and I was just thrilled that you’re showcasing them
I have been purchasing pet food from this company for about a year and am completely happy. There was a recall on a particular lot of food a few months back but fortunately, none of my packages had this lot number but I was informed by email as soon as it was recalled and I'm sure they would have credited my account if I had received a tainted lot.
I called the company because my two dogs were not eating their food as they had. They never told me about the recall. They advised me to cook the food. When I realized there was a recall I called them back and wanted to return the food. They credited me for the food. I am disappointed they weren’t transparent from the beginning
Viva took responsibility immediately upon getting the notice that there was a problem with a certain lot of food so I'm pretty sure your food was fine which is why they didn't mention that there was a problem with other lots.
Your packs weren't apart of the recall that's why they didn't mention it. They contacted everyone who had the affected lot number and were 100% transparent where it needed to be. Also they have a clean bowl policy! So that's why they refunded you when your pets wouldn't eat it. 😊
Pet food is disgusting. I make homemade dog food.
*witch hazel *tea tree *aloe
This is so mind-blowing 😭😭 i gave in to my vet telling me all times that my dog had to be on prescription diet and that's when it all began until she finally succumbed to her death due to renal failure
Do you have a video of the recipe you made for Mayra?

Food for dogs should only be gently cooked? Not cooked well done? Thank you!
Yes gently cooked! If you cook it well done, you lose most all of the nutrients your pet needs.
YAY!
Wow what a Kitchen fully loaded with whars needed for the perpreations lucky fur babies! 👏 ThumbsUp
Is Ollie a good choice?
Hi Dr. Judy, I don't know if you will see this, I searched out this video. I have been following you, making your recipes and buying some of your supplements. My 8 year old has had allergies and I got those somewhat managed through your food protocols, thank you so much! However, I just took her in for a check because she seemed to be peeing occasionally and it appeared that she was doing it in response to stress, only occasionally, and only if I put an ecollar on her or she has a conflict with the other dog. The vet confirmed it is probably submissive peeing, but then she x rayed tested the urine and the dog has struvite stones. She wants me to use Hills or Royal prescription diet, but I'm worried about going back to kibble and my Circe is also allergic to chicken. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I would try your courses, but I just spent lots on a vet and cannot afford it at this time. I'm surviving on SSDI in California soo...Thank you again Gretchen
I feed a raw diet, has not helped with my dogs allergies
Its found in almost all humans urine tests
I thought I was feeding my dog a highly rated raw dog food. But it was extremely high in fat. Answers pet food caused his pancreatitis, and after taking taking him to 3 different veterinarian's not one tested him for pancreatitis. He passed in 2020 from GVD, aka bloat. My heart bleeds to this day.
The fermentation also caused passing.
And its just safe to have this crap in our homes or our kids playing or eat it.🤢
Need to call osha to protect the workers from these conditions, then we can change a bit.🙏
My 12 years old husky is on Apoquil over 5 years, only in the winter months he gets a break from it. Thousands of dollar spend And it didn’t help him 100% . Lately I hear so many bad reviews about Apoquil that I got panicked so I stopped giving him the Apoquil, instead I give him turmeric and fish oil capsules every day. I also sprinkle some ground flax seeds in his food, with blueberries. I rotate the fresh cooked protein to beef pork turkey and salmon ( his favorite is chicken) and he gets 3 times a week sardines and twice a week a small amount of beef hearts and liver. I always gave probiotic with prebiotic no matter what. So far my dog is healthy thank goodness, but I truly worried 😢 I rub his skin with coconut oil and it helped him tremendously with the itching and I moved to a natural approach with quercetin , colostrum and blends of mushrooms. it seems to help him. So far so good.🙏 never Apoquil again.
Thank you for the education!
That reminds me of the multivitamins product prescribed by my vet when I switched to raw feeding my dogs. It was to ensure that the dogs would have all the necessary vitamins. It was caramel flavour!!! What the hell?!
