Esbilac 2nd Step Puppy Weaning Food is a complete food for growing puppies.  Esbilac 2nd  Step Weaning Food may be mixed with water; however, for a more gradual  change from bitch’s milk to a solid diet it is recommended that it be mixed  with Esbilac. Esbilac 2nd Step Puppy Weaning Food should be fed until  puppies are 7 to 8 weeks old when they can be fed commercial puppy or dog food.  All changes should be made gradually over a one week period.

Mix Esbilac 2nd Step Puppy Weaning Food using one of the methods in the table below.

Mixing Directions 1

Esbilac 2nd Step Puppy Weaning Food      Esbilac Powder     Esbilac Liquid    Water2

5-1/2 tsp                                                    1 tsp                                             1/3 cup

5-1/2 tsp                                                                                                         1/3 cup

Amounts given are per pound of body weight per feeding.  Provide fresh, clean water at all times.

Determine the daily amount of Esbilac 2nd  Step powder to be fed to the puppy using the information  on the label. Reconstitute powder by using three parts (a part is any measuring  device used, a  teaspoon, tablespoon, or  cup) of water to one part powder for the first few days. This will make a thin  gruel. As puppies grow decrease the amount of water mixed with the powder until  weaning food is an oatmeal consistency. Remove the uneaten portion within two  hours.

Puppies that  are on their feet and able to lap out of a bowl are ready for introduction to  Esbilac 2nd Step Puppy Weaning Food. Weigh  the puppies at least once a week to monitor weight gain and adequacy of  feeding. More or less food may be needed by individual puppies to satisfy  their food  requirements for optimum performance. Consult your veterinarians for additional  advice.
