Petlac Milk Powder For Kittens, 10.5-Ounce

Petlac Milk Powder for Kittens is a milk substitute for kittens that are weaning or that don't have access to a gestating mother. It is a good food source for orphaned or rejected kittens up to six weeks old. It is recommended as a supplement for nursing or weaning kittens or for older cats requiring additional nutrition. It supplies the necessary vitamins and minerals to ensure proper development and growth. This powder comes in 10.5 oz . PetAg, Inc. provides pet owners and animal professionals with the most effective pet products, including milk replacers, nutritional and health supplements, and grooming supplies. Directions for Mixing: Mix one tablespoon powder with two tablespoons warm water to make approximately 2 1/3 tablespoons (7 teaspoons/35 ml) of liquid. This amount will feed a 4 oz (115 g) kitten for approximately 1 day. Directions for Feeding: If possible, all kittens should receive colostrum by nursing on their mother for the first several days. Weighing kittens at the beginning and every 3 days will help to determine the amount that should be fed. Bottle fed kittens should be fed 1 teaspoon (5 mL) per 4 ounces (115 g) of body weight every 3-4 hours. Feeding amounts and frequency vary according to individual needs. Smaller and weaker kittens may need increased feeding frequency. As kittens become older the frequency may be decreased and the amount per feeding increased. At 4 to 6 weeks you may begin offering reconstituted PetLac Kitten in a shallow bowl for the kittens to lap. Do not discontinue bottle feeding until the kittens are eating well on their own. Weaned kittens: Feed 1 teaspoon (2 g) of PetLac Kitten powder per 5 lbs. (2.2kg) of body weight. Pregnant and lactating females: Feed 2 teaspoons (4 g) of PetLac Kitten powder per 5 lbs. (2.2kg) of body weight daily mixed in regular food. Consult your veterinarian for additional advice.
