With a score of 10/10, Viva Pure is considered a low risk dog food. There are 5 recipes that average 83% protein and negligible carbohydrate as calculated on a dry matter basis. Viva dog foods are made in small batches in a facility that also produces human food.  

There are no points deducted for minimal processing, ingredient quality or safety. The foods have minimal carbohydrates as expected in a raw, prey model dog food. The recipes all have a lower percentage of fat than protein, which is also desirable. 

Viva Pure recipes are made up of 80% muscle, 10% secreting organs, and 10% bone with no added vegetables or supplements. This is a limited ingredient diet with single proteins of Chicken, Turkey, Beef and Duck. Single protein recipes can be fed to pets with allergies or sensitivities or used as a base. The foods all have a lower percentage of fat than protein, which is desirable in a raw dog food.

There are no added vitamins or minerals. This suggests higher quality ingredients because the nutrients come from whole foods.

The website offers a detailed nutritional breakdown analysis for each recipe which provides the omega-6:omega-3 ratio. This is good information to have since AAFCO allows a very inflammatory ratio of 30:1.
