Milk Replacer for Puppies: Puppy Milk for Growing Pups

When to Use Milk Replacer for Puppies

From birth, milk replacer is required when the mother is not producing enough milk, or the litter of puppies is too large for her to cope with. Puppy milk is also for use on orphaned puppies or the runt of a litter. It is best to be careful changing puppy milk brands, as this can cause digestive problems. If you are expecting a litter of puppies, it is wise to have some puppy milk replacer on hand. Puppies cannot digest lactose after they are weaned, which is why adult dogs often have an intolerance for milk. We have been selling our own brand for some years, and it is our best-selling puppy milk.

Puppy Colostrum: The First Boost of Nutrition

Puppy Colostrum should be given as soon as possible after birth if it is required for undernourished puppies and is the closest high nutritional equivalent to their mother's first milk.

Feeding Supplies for Puppies

A puppy feeding bottle should be used with puppy milk and colostrum.

Weaning Puppies and Transitioning to Puppy Food

Puppies are generally weaned at about 3 weeks of age until two months old. They should only be given small quantities of high-quality puppy food and any that is not eaten should be removed after about 5 to 10 minutes. Increase the amount of puppy food gradually and follow the instructions for portion control relevant to your puppy.
