Pet-Ag Esbilac Puppy Milk Replacer Powder - 5 lb - Powdered Puppy Formula with Prebiotics, Probiotics & Vitamins for Puppies Newborn to Six Weeks Old - Easy to Digest

Great for opossums

This is what my Veterinarian recommended and the puppies gobbled it down.

Served its purpose

When our Great Dane got sick after having puppies we had no choice but to bottle feed 8 puppies. This formula was very good and a much better value on Amazon than it was at local stores. With growing Great Dane puppies we went through a lot of this stuff. So thankful it was available and it did a great job.

This is a good product, it is the only replacer I use in the first few weeks. Much more affordable in the 5lb bag.

We had an orphaned litter of six puppies. Their mom died just two days after they were born. Luckily they got colostrum from her so we didn't have to worry about that. Some other breeders offered to take our pups and try and let them nurse on lactating girls they owned. We just didn't want to give them up. Losing their mom, who was only 4 years old, was a blow. The pups were all we had left of her, so we tube fed them, and when they got bigger, stronger and better at suckling, we bottle fed them. We've successfully weaned them off of the formula which seemed to give them everything they needed to flourish. They grew and matured at the same rate as pups from other litters we've had in the past. So, I would recommend this product without hesitation. It worked for us in the most dire of situations, and our puppies have matured beautifully.

I rescued 2 puppies that were 2 weeks old from a home that refused to provide medical care for a pup when he became very ill. He had gotten a severe bacteria infection on his neck that had become so enlarged he couldn't move his head, move or eat. After the owners released him and the runt to me and they were checked out from the vet, I started them on Esbilac. When I received them at 2 weeks they weighed in at 1.6 and 1.8 lbs. It's been about 9 days and they are now 2.6 and 3.1 lbs and thriving! Not to mention how well they love this formula. I couldn't be happier with the results that Esbilac is providing, it's very fulfilling to see a young pup go from suffering and near death to a happy, healthy puppy. Within the next week, I will be mixing the formula with soft puppy food to start the weaning process, but even my vet said Esbilac is one of the best puppy formula out there.

When our Great Dane momma refused to accept her puppies, the vet sold us a canister of this milk replacer. Then we got a couple of these bags and we have healthy 6-week babies right now. Pricey but effective.
