Volhard Dog Nutrition Has 3 Recipes
I love the convenience and quality of the Volhard Diet. I know that my dogs are getting high end food, all the nutrition they need, benefits of a raw diet I don’t have to source the ingredients, calculate the percentages, or worry about the nutritional details. It’s all be done for me.
Volhard NDF2
NDF2 is a more convenient way to feed. It is a pre-mix of dehydrated ingredients to which you add fresh meat and water for nutritionally balanced meal. Preparation takes just a couple of minutes.
AM / PM
AM/PM is still quite easy to do, but does take little more shopping and weekly prep for your vegetable options. The benefit of this diet is multi-faceted:
You get to choose the vegetable options given you even more control your dog’s health needs. We we begin feeding according to 5 Element Theory (TCM) or have a need to customize dietary ingredients for health and behavior concerns this is a good way to go!
The distinction of AM / PM means what’s in the bowl at each meal is different. Veggies are given at one meal while animal-protein is given at the other. This helps our senior and un-well animals with digestive support and how, when, and how hard the body’s systems need to work to digest it’s food.
A little weekly prep of the veggies in advance and the feeding of AM/PM daily can be as quick and easy as NDF2.
Rescue Diet
This is the new anti-inflammatory, anti-allergen, gluten-free, grain-free food from Volhard. This diet has been amazing for dogs that made tremendous improvement in their chronic conditions, but still needed a little something different for optimal health. While most dogs do extremely well on NDF2 or AM/PM — Rescue has truly come to the rescue for many.
With recue you can expect to feed a little more food volume than with NDF2. Why? Because NDF2 includes healthy, nutrient-rich grains. Grains contain are higher in calories that vegetables, unless you feed more veggies. So to make sure nutrient and caloric needs are met — a bit more food is required.
