Directions for Mixing: Whisk or shake 1 part powdered Esbilac 2nd Step into 2 parts warm water (a part may be a teaspoon, tablespoon, or cup). Do not mix more Esbilac 2nd Step than can be consumed within 24 hours. Do not use a blender to mix.
Consult your veterinarian for additional advice. Not for human consumption.
Directions for Feeding: Esbilac 2nd Step has been formulated to meet the nutritional needs of young puppies progressing to solid foods and is developed to follow Esbilac, Goat's Milk Esbilac, or mother's milk. Puppies that are up on their feet and lapping from a bowl (4 to 5 weeks of age) may be introduced to Esbilac 2nd Step.
It is recommended that Esbilac 2nd Step be fed until puppies are ready to transition to solid food (7 to 8 weeks of age). To ensure a smooth transition, Esbilac 2nd Step may be mixed with kibble or canned food. Puppies should be fed four (4) times per day.
Weigh the puppies at least once a week to monitor weight gain and adequacy of feeding. Individual puppies may require more or less food to meet their nutritional needs for optimal growth. Fresh, clean water should always be available for drinking.
Storage: Powder should be kept covered and stored in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate reconstituted liquid for up to 24 hours. Avoid exposure to temperatures above 86° F.
