Product Details
Beaphar Lactol Milk Replacer for Kittens is a complete milk replacement feed for newborn and orphaned kittens. It contains superior amino acid content and is enriched with essential vitamins and minerals, providing a perfectly balanced complete feed. It also contains added taurine, and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), which has been shown to help cognitive development and visual acuity.
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.
It is suitable for all kittens, pregnant or lactating queens and is also suitable for convalescing and sick animals, containing the nutrients needed to thrive.
