NutriVet Puppy Milk Replacer Powder 12oz

Nutri-Vet Milk Replacement powder contains essential amounts of protein, fat, and carbohydrates plus vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that newborn puppies need. It can also be used as a nutritional supplement for pregnant, nursing, convalescing or senior dogs.

If possible, puppies should nurse from their mother for the first two days of their lives to receive nutrient-rich colostrum. Mother’s colostrum helps strengthen the immune system and contains growth factors to stimulate protein synthesis, fat utilization, and cell growth.

Benefits:

• Whey protein concentrate is a source of essential amino acids that are the building blocks for healthy muscles, skin and other body tissue.
• Readily accepted by newborn puppies, and produces excellent growth rates and weight gain.
• Contains Opti-Gut™, our natural recipe, complete with probiotics to support a healthy gut, digestion, growth and development.
• Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.
