DESCRIPTION:
Canine Mammalac is a nutritionally complete milk replacer to be fed as a nutritional supplement when the supply of bitch's milk is inadequate or as the sole ration for orphan puppies. When indicated, Canine Mammalac may be used to fortify the ration of bitches to help meet the increased nutritional requirements in late gestation and early lactation.

FEEDING & MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
Orphan Puppies (1 to 3 weeks)
The chart below indicates levels to be fed where Canine Mammalac is the sole ration, as with orphan puppies.
Weight of Puppies Amount of Canine Mammalac / Day Water / Day
100 g (0.25 lbs) 4 g (0.67 tbsp.) 20 mL (0.7 oz)
250 g (0.5 lbs) 10 g (1.5 tbsp) 50 mL (2 oz)
500 g (1.1 lbs) 20 g (3 tbsp) 100 mL (3.5 oz)
750 g (1.7 lbs) 30 g (4 tbsp) 150 mL (5.5 oz)
1000 g (2.2 lbs) 40 g (6 tbsp) 200 mL (7 oz)
2000 g (4.4 lbs) 80 g (12 tbsp) 400 mL (14 oz)
3000 g (6.6 lbs) 120 g (18 tbsp) 600 mL (21 oz)
4000 g (8.8 lbs) 160 g (24 tbsp) 800 mL (28 oz)
Puppies (4 to 12 weeks):
Convert puppies from bottle to bowl feeding. Once puppy is eating well by lapping, begin mixing puppy food with Canine Mammalac to produce a gruel-like mix. Gradually increase the proportion of puppy food until the puppy is on solid food. Ensure a source of clean water is always available.
ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES:
Whenever possible puppies should receive colostrum (bitch's first milk) for the first 2 days, since this supplies antibodies essential to disease resistance in early life.
Canine Mammalac solution should be fed at body temperature.
For the first 4 days of feeding Canine Mammalac, the daily amount should be divided into 6 to 8 feedings. The number of feedings can then be gradually reduced to 4 per day (dividing the daily volumes into 4 equal parts).
Stool consistency provides a measure of the appropriate feeding level. If diarrhea develops, reduce concentration of the solution (i.e. maintain water level fed but reduce the level of Canine Mammalac powder by 10 - 20 % until stool consistency returns to normal). Should diarrhea persist contact your veterinarian.
Cleanliness of feeding equipment (nursing bottle/bowl) is extremely important. Always wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry well after each use.
Bitches: (last month of gestation)
For every 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight supplement the regular ration with 6 grams (1 level tablespoon) of Canine Mammalac.
Lactating Bitches:
For every 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight supplement the regular ration with 12 grams (2 level tablespoons) of Canine Mammalac. Ensure consumption is spread through the day by thorough mixing with the regular ration or by two multiple feedings.
STORAGE:
Moisture and high temperature will degrade Canine Mammalac.
Store, sealed in a cool dry place. May be stored indefinitely in the freezer.
