WOMBAROO DOG MILK 1KG

Wombaroo Dog Milk is powdered milk formula food for orphaned and early weaned puppies. This may also be used to supplement the nutrition of pregnant and lactating dogs. Wombaroo is high in fat content to mimic bitchs milk and contains minerals, fats and vitamins a puppy needs.

Whey proteins, caseins, whole milk solids, vegetable oils, omega-3 & 6 fatty acids (including EPA, DHA & Arachidonic Acid), taurine, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D3, E, K, nicotinamide, pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid, choline, inositol, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine, selenium.

To make 30mL of milk: mix 1 level scoop of powder (6.5g) with 25mL of pre-boiled warm water. To make one litre of milk: mix 215g of powder with 850mL of pre-boiled warm water. Add half the water to the powder first and mix to a paste. Then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Pre-boil the water to ensure it is sterilised. If the water is too hot it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold then it will be difficult to mix the powder. Wombaroo contains elevated fat levels, so the milk needs to be well mixed to prevent it from separating out. An electric whisk can be used for mixing larger quantities. Milk can be stored in the fridge for up to a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. It is useful to make milk up in larger volumes, and store it frozen in small portions (eg ice cube trays), so that the required daily feed volumes can be easily thawed out. Once thawed out, discard any unused milk, and wash feeding utensils thoroughly. FEEDING: Warm milk to about 35°C. Feed from a bottle with teat, a Wombaroo SD or Wombaroo LD teat is recommended for small and large breeds respectively. For some breeds a Wombaroo F teat may be used. In emergency cases tube feeding may be required, but this should be performed under veterinary guidance. Feed every 2 hours for the first 3 days, reducing this to every 4 hours by week one and every 6 hours by week two. Stimulate puppies to defecate and urinate after each feed. Encourage puppies to lap once their eyes are open and voluntary bowel motions begin. To avoid dehydration give puppies a drink of pre-boiled water between feeds, particularly in hot weather. Always offer puppies drinking water once their eyes are open and they become active. Consult your veterinarian or breeder for particular advice about caring for your breed of puppy. GROWTH: Different breeds of dogs have different growth rates. It is important to weigh puppies regularly to verify weight gains and determine if the correct volume of milk is being fed. Overfeeding milk can cause diarrhoea so feed the suggested volumes for the weight of the puppy, as listed on the pack. GROWTH: Different breeds of dogs have different growth rates.

WEANING: Puppies should begin to show interest in solid food at about four weeks of age. Start by offering a small portion of dried puppy food soaked in milk. Continue to increase the solids and reduce milk intake until they are fully weaned at about eight weeks.
