What's in Milk Replacer for Puppies?
Our catalog of canine puppy milk includes options from a range of brands for a variety of dogs and situations. In general, though, milk replacer is full of fats and proteins that provide the energy puppies need to grow — and chase you around the house! Milk replacers may also include vitamins, minerals and other additives designed to emulate the taste, feel and effects of natural mothers' milk.
How Should I Prepare Canine Puppy Milk?
That depends on the type of replacement you buy. Your milk replacement for dogs will either come in powdered or liquid form. They should also come with specific directions on the label. In many cases, though, liquid milk replacers come ready to eat — all you have to do is transfer it to a feeding container and serve it. Powdered milk replacers are more shelf-stable, but they will require some extra preparation before serving. Namely, you'll have to mix it with water before it's ready for consumption.
How Often Should I Feed My Dogs Milk Replacement?
Feeding schedules vary by both breed and age. Usually, suggestions are listed on the container, but you should always consult a veterinarian or animal professional before setting a schedule. The younger a dog is, the more often you will have to feed them. For example, puppies under three months will require regular, small servings about five times a day. As they age and are introduced to solid foods, you should be able to decrease the number of feedings by doing slightly larger, less frequent feedings.
However, canine milk replacer is not just for puppies. It can also be helpful for adult dogs under stress or recovering from illness or surgery. In these situations, follow your vet's precise directions to ensure your dog is getting enough nutrients for its age and weight class.
