Just Born Milk Replacer for Puppies Powdered Formula Indications

JUST BORN^® Milk Replacer for Puppies Powdered Formula is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.

Directions For Use

Your veterinarian should be consulted for advice about the care and feeding of puppies.

Directions for Preparation and Use: Weigh the puppy. Prepare enough JUST BORN^®, with the enclosed measuring scoop, for use within a 24 hour period. Puppies should be fed at least 1/2 ounce of liquid JUST BORN^® for every 2 ounces of body weight, daily. Puppies should be allowed to consume as much formula as they want. The table at right gives minimum feeding amounts for a 24 hour period. For puppies 1-10 days old, mix 1 scoop powder into 2 scoops water. For puppies older than 10 days, mix 2 scoops powder into 3 scoops water. Use tap or bottled water. Stir until smooth. Pour liquid into an appropriate sized, clean Just Born^® nursing bottle. Heat liquid by placing bottle in a pan of tepid water. Test temperature on your wrist. It should feel slightly warm. Do not microwave. Store JUST BORN^® powder in the refrigerator. Refrigerate unused reconstituted liquid for up to 24 hours.

1. Measure water.

2. Mix in JUST BORN^®.

3. Stir until smooth.

4. Feed at temperature that feels slightly warm on your wrist.

5. Refrigerate unused portion.

After feeding, hold the puppy's head on your shoulder and rub his back gently until he burps. Make water available after puppies are 2 weeks old. Farnam puppy water bottles are recommended.

Orphaned Puppies: If possible, puppies should nurse from their mother for the first 2 days of their lives to receive nutrient rich colostrum. Mother's colostrum provides temporary protection from numerous diseases and contains growth factors believed to stimulate protein synthesis, improve fat utilization, and promote cell growth. While mother's milk is always preferable, JUST BORN^® contains nutrient rich colostrum milk powder harvested at USDA inspected facilities. It is extremely important to weigh puppies frequently (every day) to insure they are receiving adequate amounts of supplement. If a puppy loses weight after 48 hours, consult your veterinarian. Feed weak or small puppies every 4 hours, feed at 8 hour intervals if strong and active. Puppies' needs will vary and the time and amount may have to be increased or decreased, depending on the breed, growth rate and activity of the puppy. Orphan puppies must be kept warm for proper digestion to occur. Also, use a warm, moist washcloth and gently wipe the puppy's bottom until it wets and has a bowel movement, several times daily, to imitate a mother's care. This is required for young puppy survival.

Weaning Puppies: Healthy puppies may be weaned when they are about 25 days old or when they can lap formula from a bowl. At this age, blend a high quality dry puppy food with warm Just Born^® Liquid Formula to make a paste. Feed the mixture 3-4 times a day for the first week. Each week, increase the amount of dry food in the mixture so that after 6-7 weeks the puppy is fully on dry food.

Pregnant and Lactating Bitches: Mix 1 tablespoon of prepared JUST BORN^® Milk Replacer per 5 pounds of body weight into the pregnant bitch's daily ration. Continue until the pups are weaned.

Supplementation: If a supplement is desired for a growing puppy, show dog, large litter, geriatric or convalescing dog, simply mix 1 tablespoon of prepared JUST BORN^® Milk Replacer per 5 pounds of body weight into the dog's daily ration of food.

JUST BORN^® Milk Replacer is also available in a ready-to-use liquid.
