Mixing Instructions: Carefully combine one part powdered Esbilac with two parts warm water (a part can be a teaspoon, tablespoon, or cup). Only prepare as much Esbilac as can be consumed within 24 hours. Avoid using a blender. Store any prepared Esbilac in the refrigerator. A 12 oz. can of powder yields about 60 oz. of liquid when mixed at a 1:2 ratio. A 28 oz. can produces roughly 140 oz. of liquid at the same mix ratio. A 5 lb. bag will generate around 400 oz. of liquid when mixed at 1:2.
Feeding Instructions: Whenever possible, all puppies should have access to their mother's milk for at least 2 days. Colostrum offers vital nutrition and temporary immunity against certain diseases. Warm the reconstituted Esbilac to room or body temperature before feeding. Puppies should receive 2 tablespoons (30mL) of liquid Esbilac for every 4 oz. (115g) of body weight each day. Divide the total daily amount into equal portions for each meal. Individual puppies may require adjustments to this amount based on their specific needs. Young or weaker puppies should be fed every 3 to 4 hours, while older puppies can be fed every 8 hours. Monitor puppies' weight daily to ensure proper feeding. For guidance, consult your veterinarian. The PetAg 2 oz. (60mL) or 4 oz. (120mL) Small Animal Nurser is suitable for feeding most puppies. Once puppies are ready to lap, begin offering reconstituted Esbilac in a saucer. During the sixth week, combine reconstituted Esbilac with Esbilac 2nd Step Puppy Weaning Food to facilitate a gradual transition to solid food. For Pregnant and Nursing Dogs: Provide 2 teaspoons (4g) of Esbilac powder for every 5 lbs. (2.2kg) of body weight daily. For Growing Puppies on Solid Food, Show Dogs, and/or Recovering Dogs: Offer 1 teaspoon (2g) of Esbilac powder per 5 lbs. (2.2kg) of body weight daily as a food topper.
Storage Guidelines: Keep unopened powder in a cool, dry location. Prepared Esbilac must be refrigerated and used within 24 hours. Opened powder can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 months, or frozen for up to 6 months to maintain its freshness.
For those seeking a food supplement for growing post-weaned puppies, show dogs, large litters, elderly, or recuperating dogs, Esbilac powder should be given at a rate of 1 teaspoon per 5 lbs. (2.2kg).
