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 Chicken 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
I switched my dog food after my older dog had severe health issues as he approached seven and eight. I’m not sure it was the food that we were giving him, but I’m not taking any chances, and your food was highly rated by others that I trust.

Great diet
We couldn’t get to the bottom of our foxhound’s allergies. Nothing was working. We were told he needed a change in diet so we tried NDF with raw beef. It works like a charm! He no longer licks constantly and his skin is no longer inflamed. We switched our other two dogs to this diet and they love it!

National Diet Foundation 2
Our Leonard could not tolerate any other dog food that we tried. He was getting so skinny. Once we switched over to Volhard he improved 110%!! He gained weight and both he and his sisters coats are so pretty and soft. We will never switch! Thank you Volhard!

Love Volhard
My 2 Labs have been doing fabulous on Volhard. They absolutely love it. We always get compliments on their appearance. Both were recently approved as emergency blood donors at the emergency clinic, they passed the physical & blood test with flying colors. I'm contributing a big part of that to their diet. Thanks Volhard!

I can not tell you how thankful I am for this food! Both my dogs are at the peak of health! Especially my 9 year old. You are crazy not to try! It’s really very easy to do. And Volhards staff is patient and doesn’t make you feel stupid for so many questions
