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.

Feeding NDF2 - 14 years and counting
We began feeding our dog NDF2 14 years ago when we got our first Lab, Jackson. We lost him recently but believe his long, healthy life was enhanced by his NDF diet. We continue to feed our 11 year old (and very spunky) Lab, Shannon, NDF2. It is a very good product and we recommend. It without reservation.

NDF2 Pork
We switched our puppy onto NDF2 Pork because of his food allergies. He loved it and our old dog kept giving us the saddest eyes when she got kibble. Now they both get NDF2 and they love it. We can tell they like their food more and their coats are more shiny and less shedding compared to kibble. Would never go back!

NDF2 chicken
I recently adopted Rooney a 1 1/2 yr German Shepherd mix. She was being fed Purina Dry kibble by the rescue and had been confiscated from horrible circumstances. She is crazy for the NDF with either beef or fish and licks her bowl clean . Her coat quality has improved and she is a sweet gentle happy girl. Thank you team Wendy!

My dog loves this food and is doing great on it. He seems to be trimming down a bit but has lots of energy.

Volhard dogfood
I put my puppy on Volhard dog food as soon as she came home with us. She loves her food. She is beautiful and healthy. Her vet says she is healthy too. I do not have to worry about her getting worms or finding all of the ingredients needed to protect her and nourish her, because it is all in the ingredients in this dog food. I love it.
