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
Ellie (2 year old Terrier mix rescue - 35 lbs) really likes her new diet. We moved to NDF2 and protein after discovering that our premium dry kibble wasn't exactly what it seemed. She has been eating NDF2 for about 3 months. We just opened our 2nd 10# bag which was preceded by another 15#. She is still very enthused about her meals. Weight is steady, waste has noticeably diminished, her coat is beautiful, and shedding has become almost UN-noticeable. Our vet of over 20 years says she is in great condition. We are very happy with the product.

Natural Diet Foundation 2
My daughter recommended your product and it took 2 days to transition our senior SPoo and young adult Mini-doodle from a natural food diet to your product. Our dogs seem to have responded with more focus and better impulse control, but maybe it was my retirement, lol! I intend to continue feeding your NDF product, and in larger quantities, as I’ve just rescued another SPoo. Thank you for a great raw dog food option! Shawn Johnson

Mickey and Leiyah
My sister-in-law told me about this food after I asked what she was doing for her dogs so they both looked so healthy with shiny coats. I tried the food and within the week I noticed my older dog had more energy and his coat was noticeably healthier looking. He was disinterested in his old food and when I switched his diet he started to eat like a champ again! I like feeding them with real ingredients and meat. I'm a return customer!

Hi guys... I didn’t realize how the pups' coloring is so shiny and rich. Healthy looking raw fed pups right there!! Hunter is turning 4 and has been on NDF 2 for about a year now and I am happy to say he’s down to his target weight and has more energy to keep up with the pup lol Zena Rose just turned 10 months and has been on NDF2 since 9 weeks old she is now 77lbs, growing strong and healthy. We couldn’t be happier!! Thank you!

NDF2
I never write reviews but I would be remiss if I did not comment on the Volhard diet and NDF2. My German Shepherd, Kali, has been on this diet for 9 months. Our friends at K-9 basics, specifically Arnold, recommended this to us when she started her training there. Since she has been on this diet, her health has been great. She no longer suffers from ear infections, eye infections or diarrhea. She is happy and healthy and her coat is beautiful. Also, she loves the food and always finishes everything in her bowl. We are so pleased with this diet and how well she is doing. Thank you.

Quality Food
Amigo has been on NDF2 since birth, he’s now a strong and healthy 11 month young puppy. It feels good knowing he’s getting all the nutrients an active and growing pup needs. I have it shipped across the country because it’s that good.

20 lb NDF2
Our new puppy absolutely loves this food. Her coat is so soft and shiny and everyone comments on her. We were able to add the raw meat to this and she devours it. Thanks for the recommendation Ann! on Cape Cod! We started with the 10 lb bag to be sure we all liked it and now are on the bi-monthly automatic reorder. Easy to mix with food and healthy!
