Directions For Feeding

Esbilac^® 2nd Step™ should be lapped out of a bowl, not fed from a bottle. Esbilac 2nd Step has been formulated to meet the nutritional needs of young puppies being weaned from mother, or bottle fed puppies progressing to solid foods. For best results the product should be mixed with ready to feed liquid Esbilac or reconstituted powder Esbilac to give the consistency necessary to get good food consumption. If Esbilac is not available water may be used. Fresh, clean water should always be available for drinking. It is recommended that Esbilac 2nd Step be fed until puppies are seven or eight weeks old when they can be fed commercial puppy or dog food as desired. All changes in diet should be made gradually over a period of one week.

Mixing Directions

Puppies that are up on their feet and lapping from a bowl may be introduced to Esbilac 2nd Step. Begin by offering it as a thin gruel. Determine the amount of Esbilac 2nd Step powder to be fed to the puppy at each feeding using the Feeding Guideline below. Reconstitute powder by using three parts (a part is any measuring device, i.e. teaspoon, tablespoon or cup) liquid Esbilac or water to one part powder for the first few days. Offer only small amounts and remove the uneaten portion after no more than 20 minutes. Puppies should be fed three times per day. Weigh the puppies at least once a week to monitor weight gain and adequacy of feeding. As puppies grow, decrease the amount of water mixed with the powder until weaning food is an oatmeal consistency. Consult your veterinarian for additional advice.

More or less food may be needed by individual puppies to satisfy their food requirements for optimum performance.

Storage

Powder does not need to be refrigerated, but should be kept covered and stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to excessive temperatures.
