The brand behind it.
Viva Raw
Frozen raw dog and cat food in 1 lb packages. Graded from the 3 recipes of theirs in this catalogue, not from an audit of the company.
All 3 panels we hold name each meat and organ with no catch-all; the brand states its meat comes from USDA-inspected farms audited for animal welfare, and prints a lot number on every package. The A grade takes nothing off this product's score.
