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.

NDF2
This is worth every penny! I have seen such a difference from feeding kibble and I will never ever feed anything but Volhard. This is a blessing of a company. They care about your dog like it is their dog. We lost our Cane Corso to heart failure and if I would have known about this company I could have saved him. Please know what you are giving your dog. When you feed Volhard you put what you want in your dog's meal. Thank you Volhard!

Natural diet foundation 2
My dog, Millie loves this food. She is more energetic and her coat is so soft and shiny since she has started eating it. I would highly recommend the Natural diet foundation 2. It is a dog food I can feel good about feeding my dog.

Best choice ever for picky eaters!
My dogs eventually snub all food after a few meals, even homemade food. This is the first dog food they don't snub, they have been eating for nearly a month and cannot wait to eat every meal. So glad to have found this! Bonus, it smells great sort of like surfing mix!

Made the switch!
We are a 501c3 nonprofit, breeding and training golden retriever service dogs. Health and temperament (and trainability) are key for us. Which is why we switched over to Volhard NDF2, and couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!
