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
We have a Lab and a Dachshund mix. Our dogs were never as excited for their meal time as they are with NDF2 and raw protein. The lab is 3 years old and healthy. After 6 months on NDF2 her coat is puppy shiny and she has a lean/strong physique. The Dachshund mix is a rescue. She is around 15 years old and the shape of a rugby ball. After 6 months on NDF2, she has lost 5 lbs and is very active! We will never feed our dogs any store bought dry food again!

Great product
Our Henry has been so ill since the beginning of March. We still do not really have the answers but we know that this food has made a huge difference. He absolutely loves it.

best product
This is the best balanced product for dogs that I have found anywhere. I have tried many different premium brands of dog food and none come close to the balanced nutrition and overall benefits of the volhard food.

So glad my trainer recommended this to me
I feed my dog raw and this product makes for her meals to be additionally healthy and packed full of nutrition. The ingredients are top of the line. My dog can be picky when it comes to non meat items but she loves this stuff.

So far so good!
I turned to Volhard NDF2 because of a very picky eater and some itchiness starting for the first time with our PWD. So far it is going excellent! I gave 4Stars because we haven't had her on it very long , only 1 month. But it is super easy and she licks the bowl clean! So far So GOOD!
