Description
Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk is a complete milk replacement feed for newborn and orphaned kittens which has saved the lives of countless young animals.
Beaphar Lactol has a superior amino acid content and is enriched with essential vitamins and minerals, providing a perfectly balanced complete feed. Made from easily digested whey products it closely resembles natural queen's milk. Ultra-filtration concentrates the proteins, and a slow drying process during production preserves the protein molecules, making it more nutritionally valuable. Contains added taurine, and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), which has been shown to help cognitive development and visual acuity.
Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk can also be used for weaning kittens, pregnant or lactating queens and sick or convalescing animals.
