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.

Using the scoop provided, add Beaphar Lactol Milk Replacer to warm water (allow boiled water to cool) and stir until completely dissolved. Allow to cool until lukewarm (38°C or blood temperature).
The use of proper feeding equipment is highly recommended, such as the Beaphar Feeding Set or Beaphar Feeding Syringes. These should always be clean and sterile. Beaphar Lactol Milk Replacer can also be mixed with cold water for older dogs.
Prepared milk can be refrigerated for 24 hours but should be reheated to 38°C or blood temperature for young animals.
COMPLETE DIET: For unweaned puppies, it is important to weigh young puppies on a daily basis so that you can compare their daily growth increase with the growth tables from your breeder or vet.
Recommended dilution: Add 30g (7 level scoops) to 100ml warm water. 1 litre of prepared Beaphar Lactol Milk Replacer contains approximately 1250 kcal.
