DOG (PUPPY) MILK
REPLACER
Wombaroo
Dog Milk Replacer is a highly digestible, easily prepared milk substitute
formulated to closely resemble the nutrient composition of bitch milk. Use
Wombaroo for hand-rearing orphaned puppies or supplementing bitches with
large litters.
HAND-REARING: Success in
hand-rearing puppies greatly improves if they receive colostrum at birth.
Impact Colostrum Replacer is available for puppies that did
not get colostrum from the bitch. Keep puppies in a clean, draught-free
environment at about 30° C. Warm Wombaroo to about 35° C.
Feed from a bottle with teat every 2 hours for the first three days,
reducing this to every 4 hours by the end of the first week. Stimulate
puppies to defaecate and urinate after each feed. During the second week
reduce feeding to 6 hourly intervals. Encourage puppies to lap once they
arise are open and voluntary bowel motions begin. To avoid dehydration
during periods of hot weather give puppies a drink of pre-boiled water
between feeds. Always offer puppies drinking water once their eyes open
and they become mobile. Consult your veterinarian or breeder for
particular advice about caring for your breed of puppy.
GROWTH: Different breeds of
puppies have different growth rates. Carers should contact their
veterinarians or breeder for information about the growth rate of their
particular breed. It is important to weigh puppies regularly to verify
weight gains and determine the volume of milk to feed. Overfeeding milk
can cause diarrhoea so feed the suggested volumes in our tables.
WEANING: When puppies are about four weeks old
they should show interest in solid food. To entice them to eat solids
offer a small portion of puppy kibble soaked in Wombaroo. Once they start
to eat solid food continue to increase the solids and reduce the milk in
their diet until they are fully weaned at about 8 weeks.
Consult your veterinarian for more advice.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Wombaroo Dog
Milk Replacer is a powder and is available in a pack to make 1 litre.
It also comes in packs of 1kg, 5kg, 10kg and 20kg. If unopened the
powder remained stable for up to 18 months if stored below 30° C. and
protected from moisture.
To make one litre of milk add 215g of powder to 400ml
of warm pre-boiled water and mixed into a paste. Then make up to one litre
with warm pre-boiled water and mix thoroughly. Milk can be mixed using an
electric whisk. Prepared milk can be stored for 24 hours if refrigerated,
or up to two weeks if frozen. Milk that has been thawed should be well
mixed before use and not refrozen.
ECONOMY: Wombaroo not only provides the best
nutrition for your puppies it is also inexpensive to use. Based on
recommended retail price it would only cost less that $1 per day to rear
even the largest breed of puppy.
