Veterinarian Dr. Conny Kolo on puppy milk:
"Although births in dogs usually take place without much assistance, and the dogs can usually look after their newborn very well themselves, situations can still arise that require human intervention. If the mother dies, is weakened after a caesarean section or does not have enough milk for all the puppies, specially developed puppy milk can be a valuable supplement for the newborn puppies. High quality puppy milk is specially formulated to provide the nutrients necessary for growth and development, including proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Puppy milk is also easy to digest and can help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal problems, such as those that would occur when feeding cow's milk. However, it is important to ensure the correct amount and frequency of feeding and to always use fresh, hygienically prepared milk. A consultation with your vet can also help you to select the right product and feeding schedule to ensure that the puppies receive the best care."

Puppy milk: Thirst quencher for bottle-fed babies
Natural mother's milk is the best thing a puppy could wish for when starting a new life. Unfortunately, there is not always enough of it available, for example if the mother dog cannot provide any or enough milk. In this case, high-quality puppy milk can be used as a substitute or supplement. It is fed in a very similar way to human babies, using a teat bottle or feeder.

Should puppy milk be warmed up before feeding?
As a rule, puppy milk is mixed with warm water, then cooled slightly and fed at body temperature. What else you should know when feeding: Puppies should lie on their stomachs during feeding so that they do not choke. After feeding, it is a good idea to massage their tummies to stimulate digestion. This task is normally performed by the mother dog, who licks the puppies' tummies.
