Build a Bowl
Every dog is special. But it’s not just their personality. Every dog has unique nutrition needs based on their breed, size, shape, activity level and many other factors. The best way to help your dog be the best version of themselves is to build a healthy, balanced bowl that’s a combination of grains, vegetables, proteins, hydrators and supplements that are specific to your pet.
When you build a bowl here at Volhard, you will start with the choice of foundation mix. For better planning, it’s helpful to think about the dog you plan to feed and their issues first. This is where you can determine the "personality" of your bowl.
Build-a-Bowl is a fun way to find out what the nutritional value is in a bowl of Volhard! Then you will be asked to add a protein for a delectable super-powered meal for your dog!
Feeding Directions:
Prepare your dog’s bowl in three easy steps:
1. Mix NDF2 Beef with fresh protein (we suggest 80/20 ground beef raw or lightly cooked) and water as directed.
2. Let the base mix rehydrate (about 5 minutes).
3. Serve your dog a bowl with fresh and hydrating nutrition!
Daily Feeding Recommendations (Cups per Day):
Each dog is an individual with varying metabolisms and activity levels. The amounts suggested are only guidelines. Divide the following daily guidelines in half for feeding twice per day.
Puppy Feeding Guidelines
Daily Feeding Recommendations (Cups per Day):
Each dog is an individual with varying metabolisms and activity levels. The amounts suggested are only guidelines. Divide the following daily guidelines by four for feeding four times per day (recommended for puppies until teething is completed).
WEIGH YOUR PUPPY WEEKLY AND ADJUST THE FOOD ACCORDING TO THE NEW WEIGHT
NDF2 can be stored unopened in a cool dry place for up to 1 year. After opening,
NDF2 must be stored in the fridge or freezer and is good for 6 months after opening.
The Transition
Add a small amount of NDF2 and protein to the current diet you are feeding your dog now and mix with water. As the week progresses, gradually increase the amount of NDF2, protein, and water, at the same time decreasing the current diet by a corresponding amount, until you have phased out the current diet. (If you are feeding the same protein for six days, you may want to feed another protein - canned mackerel or cottage cheese - on the seventh day.) At the end of the transition period, weigh your dog. Weigh them again after four weeks. Increase or decrease the amount you feed accordingly.
Recommended Protein: 80/20 beef.

Natural Diet Foundation 2 Beef
I switched two dogs from Steves Raw patties to Volhard NDF2. I was hesitant at first, but both dogs LOVE the Volhard and it is much more economical. The feeding guide takes a minute to get used to, but the transition to Volhard is worth it; for my budget and my dogs!

Outstanding
So I originally ordered this food for my Pit Mix Who is having some kind of nasal allergies. While it didn’t fix that part, he is absolutely STUNNING with his shiny coat and excellent health. He prefers this with chicken but he will eat it mixed with beef. I am extremely impressed with how healthy he is and I am so Glad I found this brand.

NDF 2 Beef
I have a 7 yr old lab and have noticed a huge difference in his coat, activity, and general disability. Always a fantastic dog, just zero digestive issues with NDF 2. I hope he has many more years to come.
