Read all package instructions and warnings prior to use of any Esbilac product.

The Esbilac Emergency Feeding Kit contains Esbilac Powder. It is used as described in the directions for Esbilac Powder below. It is a ¾-oz packet that reconstitutes to 5 oz of liquid.

The following directions represent a standard usage. However, the nutritional and feeding needs of puppies and dogs vary by the individual. Consult your veterinarian for advice on appropriate feeding practices for your pet(s). Follow your veterinarian's recommendations for use of any Esbilac product.

Esbilac Powder and Liquid Directions:

  1. Gently stir or shake 1 part Esbilac Powder (if using) into 2 parts warm water. Mix until all powder is dissolved. Do not use a blender. Make only as much as your puppy can consume within 24 hours.
  2. Shake Esbilac Liquid well (if using) prior to opening the package.
  3. Warm product to room temperature by placing the filled nurser in a pan of tepid water. Test the temperature on your wrist before serving.
  4. Feed puppies at least 2 tbsp. (30 mL) per 4 oz. of body weight daily. Divide the day's total quantity evenly among all the day's feedings.
  5. When puppies are old enough to lap, transition from a nurser to a shallow bowl.
  6. For supplemental use of Esbilac Powder in pregnant or lactating bitches, add 2 tsp.  per every 5 lbs. of body weight to the day's rations. For other supplemental use, add 1 tsp. per every 5 lbs. of body weight to the day's rations.
  7. For supplemental use of Esbilac Liquid, add 2 tbsp. per every 5 lbs. of body weight to the day's rations.
  8. Refrigerate unused product.

Esbilac 2nd Step Directions:

  1. At 4 to 5 weeks of age, when puppies are on their feet and lapping from a bowl, begin feeding Esbilac 2nd Step. Serve in a shallow bowl; do not feed from a nurser.
  2. Mix product with Esbilac Liquid, reconstituted Esbilac Powder, or water. In the beginning, use more liquid to keep the results like a thin gruel. Begin at a ratio of 1 part Esbilac 2nd Step powder to 3 parts Esbilac liquid or water.
  3. Start by offering small amounts 3 times per day, and dispose of unconsumed product after 20 minutes.
  4. Gradually increase the ratio of Esbilac 2nd Step powder to liquid to add bulk to the meal according to the label's feeding guidelines. Results should eventually have an oatmeal-like consistency.
  5. Transition to solid foods by 7 to 8 weeks of age.
