Is an unknown puppy milk replacer safe for my puppies to drink?

Good question! No, this is not OK to give. This is more to be used as a supplement to older puppies/dogs that are already eating regular food. Newborn puppies need a milk replacer like Esbilac. I suggest you get this and use as directed. http://www.petwarehouse.ph/search?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=esbilac Hope this helps. Best wishes.

I would recommend feeding puppy milk replacement not just milk. If you gave milk then the puppies can get diarrhea which can dehydrate them. If you gave puppy milk replacer it is a good thing that will give them nutrients they need. Here is what the puppy milk replacer is: https://www.chewy.com/petag-esbilac-puppy-milk-replacer/dp/125376?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=f&utm_content=PetAg&utm_term=&gclid=CjwKCAiA9rjRBRAeEiwA2SV4ZcnM3fP1NbaWrHnyWWRfaQbPnposGDnZBVrep7_fYn9IU7mhZnkhnRoC3wcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Your veterinarian will be abel to age them and discuss with you appropriate timing to wean them depending on their age. Depending on the puppies age they also may need help going to the bathroom. While there is some information in the website below, your veterinarian can show you some good techniques to help them do this. Here is some information on how to care or orphaned puppies: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/feeding-orphaned-puppies Thank you for using PetCoach.

You can find a good product following this link: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/petag-esbilac-powder-puppy-milk-replacer-and-dog-food-supplement This is easily available in local pet stores and online.

Infamil is not made for puppies so that is likely why he won't drink it. You need a milk replacer made for puppies like Esbilac. Are you using a bottle? https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/petag-esbilac-powder-puppy-milk-replacer-and-dog-food-supplement My recommendation is to consult with a local veterinarian that can teach you how to raise an orphan puppy if you are unsure on how to do it. That is going to give Karter the best chance at survival. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

While there are some recipes available online they are not nutritionally balanced. Some people also will recommend using goats milk but it is also not ideal for a puppy's nutritional requirements and can cause either constipation or diarrhea. If you cannot find puppy milk replacer like Esbilac at a pet supply or feed store I'd recommend contacting a veterinarian near you. You can also order it online. Emergency veterinary clinics are often willing to sell milk replacer from their stock if you need it on an urgent basis.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Evaporated milk is very sugary and fatty, so this isn't the best food to feed a puppy. It could also cause digestive issues as most dogs don't tolerate lactose well. If Percy really loves it then giving a tiny tiny bit as a treat likely won't cause issues, however I would make sure you have his main diet as a high quality puppy food. Best of luck with Percy and enjoy your new little pup!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If they are 4 weeks old now you can mix the milk replacer with canned puppy food and put it on a plate (not a bowl) for all of them to eat. Hopefully she will be interested in this food and can get her nutrients that way. Good luck and kisses to the pups!
