Natural Diet Foundation 2 (NDF2) is hands down the best available dehydrated all-natural diet that allows dog owners to add their own protein (cooked or raw) making protein rotation easy and flexible. This diet (once protein is added) provides your dog with a fresh, healthy, and balanced meal every time they eat.
NDF2 supports the liver, kidney, heart, lungs, stomach, and digestive tract with the included freeze dried USDA inspected organ meat (liver), vegetables, purposefully chosen grains, various supportive herbs, and other functional foods. Raw feeding has never been simpler!
NDF2 was formulated for adult dogs of all breeds sizes and activity levels under the guidance of a Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist. This diet can be used to feed puppies including large breed puppies - please follow our puppy feeding guidelines.
This diet has the quality you can see and smell the moment you open the bag and serve this up. Watch your dog lick the bowl clean following this delicious meal! Made in the USA, our human-edible/food-grade, whole food ingredients are non-GMO and preservative-free. We utilize a single-step cold dehydration technique to ensure that top quality raw materials are only dehydrated once, preserving essential vitamins and minerals for optimal nutritional value.

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!

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 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.

Successful transition
For many years twice daily I provided freshly chopped broccoli and carrots and a protein for my lab, Charlie. We switched to Volhard dog food - it was easy, Charlie loves it, and had an excellent checkup. And no more chopping broccoli and carrots!

Moving on
After using Rescue for weeks, we moved on to NDF2 in treating chronic diarrhea for Trevi, an 11 month old Golden Retriever, who could not tolerate processed kibble. All seems to be going well. Resolving the situation with the help of Jennifer Carter's patience and guidance. Thank you for the products and professional assistance.

NDF2
After learning about NDF2 from our trainer, Jen Freilich, I was very excited to start our 3mo puppy on it! I followed the directions for switching her from the kibble to the NDF2 & had no tummy issues at all! She's now almost 7 months, thriving, & at last check 61 lbs!! So happy to help her live a long healthy life with proper nutrition!

10 Lb. Boxer Puppy
Update: My 5 month old boxer puppy loves her NDF so much! She devours her meals in seconds. Since my 1 year old Boxer has been eating the NDF, our puppy had no problems with the raw and NDF. Huge improvement to their system, coat is shiny, soft and both NEVER walk away from a feeding. Worth every penny Wendy! Thank you so much!

our pups love it
We were introduced to NDF2 by Ann Greene about 6 mos ago. Our 2yo Golden and 5yo Lhasapoo LOVE it. Breakfast and dinner time is so exciting. I have noticed a huge decrease with how much our little guy scratches, and he hasn't had any hot spots. The product is expensive combined with adding protein (raw hamburg) and we are spending at least 3x as much but we spend more on less. They're health is worth every penny.
