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.

NDF 2 Chicken
I have to say all the products are fantastic to feed my dogs. I love the fact that you can choose between so many varieties of flavors. My dogs don’t have a favorite! Thank you Volhard for producing a well balanced meal but mostly it’s not scary to feed raw, you’ve taken the hard out and made it simple!!!!

NDF 2 Chicken
The food is a good quality and my dog loves it. I tend to make enough patties for a few days and just pull them out when I need them. Yes! I would recommend this for any dog.

NDF2
This is my second German Shepherd. The first was constantly plagued with hot spots and I tried various diets to remedy the problem. Unfortunately, I never succeeded and when I adopted my current dog almost immediately the puppy developed hotspots. Fortunately, this happened while I was doing obedience training and the instructor suggested I try Volhard. That was about 7 years ago and she’s never had a problem since going on NDF2. Yes, it is expensive but, when I think back on how miserable my first Shep was I only wish I had heard of Volhard sooner.

NDF2
I've been feeding my very overweight Lab diet food from the vet for almost 3 years. She went from 119 to 106 the first year, then finally down to 99 the second year, and back up to 106. I finally said enough...! It wasn't working and we were both sick of it! I found Volhard through a friend, and it's taken my Lab about a month to get used to it. I also give her raw, grass fed beef from a rancher nearby. I have high hopes that she will begin to lose weight, but overall, I just feel so happy about finding HEALTHY food for her!!
