The Volhard Rescue diet is a dehydrated base mix which is hypo-allergenic, anti-inflammatory, grain-free and gluten-free. Like Volhard’s other diets, the pet parent adds the primary ingredient - protein(raw or cooked) which can be rotated or tailored to the dog's needs. The Rescue diet was formulated to help heal dogs suffering with food intolerances, GI issues, recovering from illness or injury or needing a food low on the glycemic index. The ingredients in this diet have been carefully selected to support a variety of health needs. When combined with the appropriate protein source, Rescue can be used as a temporary diet during recovery or as a long-term, balanced option for dogs that have difficulty tolerating grains.
Rescue is a dehydrated foundation base mix that supports the liver, kidney, heart, lungs, stomach, and digestive tract. The ingredients in the Rescue diet include; a freeze dried USDA inspected organ meat (liver), a rainbow of vegetables, various supportive herbs, and other functional foods. Raw feeding has never been simpler!
Rescue was formulated under the guidance of a Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist to outperform the nutritional levels for all breeds, sizes and activity levels for adult dogs. 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!

RESCUE can be stored unopened in a cool dry place for up to 1 year. After opening,
RESCUE must be stored in the fridge or freezer and is good for 6 months after opening.
The Transition
Add a small amount of RESCUE 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.

Rescue and treats
Rescue was a great alternative to making the diet from scratch. The dogs love it. Thank you Jennifer for the suggestion . The pork treats are great for training for dogs who do not “do” chicken.

Rescue
It is a terrific product where AM/PM and NDF2 didn’t work with my dogs. Zorro and Qaatja both love it and it makes my life simpler.

Rescue
This food has made a real difference for my dog with chronic pancreatitis. All her lab values dropped dramatically in one month. Her veterinarian remarked that she looked like a different dog.

Rescue
We started adding Rescue to our 2 Labs food about 3 months ago. Our 80 lb, 12.5 yr old Lab mix has cancer and was diagnosed 3 yr 8 mo ago. He has been on a Keto diet due to the cancer. He started chewing his paws a lot. I slowly started to add Rescue. Now he looks even better and no excessive chewing!

Chronic Diarrhea
My dog Trevi had chronic diarrhea. Was given several different kibbles by several Vets. Rescue from day one gave him digestive relief. Amazing! So was the support we received from Jennifer Carter who held our hand during the recovery process. Thank you!
