Petag Esbilac puppy milk powder

Esbilac is a complete milk replacer for puppies from birth until weaning. The formula was developed as a substitute for the mother's milk when the mother does not produce enough milk, has rejected her litter or when puppies need additional support during the first weeks of life.

The new European Esbilac has been developed using modern milk proteins, high-quality fat sources and a comprehensive blend of vitamins and minerals. It also contains prebiotics, probiotics and omega-3 fatty acids to support the development of young animals.

Suitable for

• Puppies without maternal milk or with an insufficient supply of maternal milk
• Supplementary feeding for large litters
• Puppies that need additional support during growth
• Convalescing dogs that need easily digestible nutrients

Also used in wildlife rehabilitation

Petag Esbilac is widely used by wildlife rehabilitation centres around the world to raise various young mammals, including squirrels and hedgehogs. Please bear in mind, however, that nutritional requirements differ considerably between species. Always use a feeding schedule developed specifically for the species concerned.
