Product Details
Beaphar Lactol Milk Replacer for Puppies is a complete milk replacement feed for newborn and orphaned puppies. It contains superior amino acid content and is enriched with essential vitamins and minerals, providing a perfectly balanced complete feed. It also contains DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), which has been shown to help cognitive development and visual acuity.
Made from easily digested whey products it closely resembles natural mother'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 puppies and can also be used for weaning puppies, pregnant or lactating mothers and sick or convalescing animals.

Prepared milk can be refrigerated for 24 hours but should be reheated to 38°C or blood temperature for young animals.
