Beaphar Lactol (Milk Replacer) for Newborn & Weaning Puppies (200g)

Lactol Puppy Milk Replacer is formulated to mimic maternal milk as closely as possible, providing essential nutrients including dextrose for quick energy in newborn or orphaned puppies, and as a complementary feed for lactating bitches or sick/recovering dogs. Composition: Milk and milk derivatives, oils and fats, various sugars (Dextrose 3.0%), minerals, algae, and cereals, with added Vitamins A, B6, B12 and D. Indications: Feeding orphaned or newborn puppies when maternal milk is unavailable or insufficient (e.g., large litters); complementary feeding for puppies below 8 weeks alongside mother's milk; supportive feeding for lactating bitches, or sick/convalescent dogs. Dosage: Newborn puppies (250g body weight, days 2-14): 100ml/day across 6-8 feeds. As puppies grow, both volume and feed frequency are adjusted per the weight/age feeding table on the pack (up to 900ml/day for 5kg puppies at days 36-42). Weaned puppies over 8 weeks, or pregnant/lactating/sick adult dogs: approx. 11ml per kg body weight. Directions for use: Using the scoop provided, mix the powder into warm water (allow boiled water to cool first, approx. 42°C) and stir until fully dissolved; cool to lukewarm (38°C/blood temperature) before feeding using a proper feeding bottle or syringe. How does the medicine work? : The formula closely mimics canine maternal milk, with highly digestible proteins gentle on sensitive tummies and a quick-energy dextrose source, supporting healthy growth and immune function during the critical newborn period. Possible side effects: Prepared Lactol can be refrigerated for 24 hours but must be reheated to blood temperature before feeding. Always follow the age/weight feeding table precisely.
