Why I Feed My Dogs Volhard Dog Nutrition
I looked around at a number of foods when I was finally really to make the leap into raw. It wasn’t an easy leap into raw feeding for all the typical reasons — fear and price to name a couple. I tried Volhard for a while. I tried some similar dehydrated mix products for a while.
I went back to Volhard, and I’ve been with them for years.
I was a customer, long before I was an affiliate, and I’m not going anywhere else. I keep evaluating different foods with clients as they consider their choices and I keep finding reasons to stay with Volhard.
Quality of Volhard Dog Nutrition
I don't know any company that does more quality assurance testing or the level of clinical testing on dogs for their entire life-span than Volhard.
VDN products use only human-grade ingredients produced by U.S. growers, in a human grade facility.
Each batch is tested three times during production for bacteria, molds, fungi, salmonella and E. Coli.
VDN products have been clinically tested (annual blood, thyroid, urine and fecal analyses) for over 30 years on Wendy Volhard's own dogs, and those of her students. We are not aware of any other dog food that undergoes such continuous and rigorous testing.

Effects Of Nutrition On Dog Behavior
I can't tell you how surprised I was to learn the direct correlation to behavior and nutrition when I began studying nutrition years ago. It just didn't seem possible. But it's amazing how true this is. With the right nutritional make-up for your individual dog, we can influence improvements with aggressive dogs, anxiety, or even dogs that just seem a little out of sync for their age, breed, or natural instincts.
Does Better Food Mean a Better Dog — Yes!
Volhard Dog Nutrition Is Convenient
Delivered right to your door. But it's also easy to prepare daily. It's a dehydrated mix of all the important whole food sources, and everything you need except Fresh Real Meat added daily.
Volhard Dog Nutrition Is More Affordable Than You Think
Rich with non-synthetic vitamins and minerals, digestive enzymes, pre and pro-biotics, Omega 3, Omega 6, Diatemaceous Earth, Apply Cider Vinegar. Anitoxidants, and so much more -- you don't need to add a bunch of other supplements for most dogs. As they age or if we find special circumstances we may need to customize a bit for the individual.
I also found that when feeding one of the competive products, Poppy lost quite a lot of weight. I had to feed her considerably more volume to make up the calorie deficit. So my “savings” on the product cost, wasn’t a savings at all.
With Volhard NDF2 I didn’t have to add supplements to my dog’s diets for the basic things like probiotics, digestive enzymes and the like. Even for my “seniors” at the time, NDF2 allowed them to thrive. They are even older now — somewhere around 16, and I do add in extra digestive enzymes and sometimes yogurt or Kefir, but they are still doing great! I love that evertyhing I need is built into the food — and things I didn’t know I needed!

Like most of us -- you will likely be able to eliminate your flea and tick topicals or orals. You may find you bathe your dog less often, visit the vet less often and you stop the random product purchases hoping you find one that works.
You will also find that you probably feed less food volume than you do today. Much of that depends on the metabolism of your dog, but it's not a direct comparison of feeding the same amount of RAW food as you do the amount of kibble. I feed quite a bit less food overall.
