Beaphar Lactol Milk Replacer for Puppies

Beaphar Lactol Puppy Milk is a complete milk replacement feed for newborn and orphaned puppies, which has saved the lives of countless young animals for over 100 years. Beaphar Lactol has a superior amino acid content and is enriched with essential vitamins and minerals, providing a perfectly balanced complete feed. Made from easily digested whey products it closely resembles natural bitch's milk. Ultra-filtration concentrates the proteins, and a slow drying process during production preserves the protein molecules, making it more nutritionally valuable. Contains DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), which has been shown to help cognitive development and visual acuity. Beaphar Lactol Puppy Milk can also be used for weaning puppies, pregnant or lactating bitches and sick or convalescing animals.
