Wombaroo Dog Milk Replacer is a milk substitute for puppies of any breed: orphaned litters, pups a bitch has rejected, and litters where the mother's milk is limited and needs topping up. The powder is formulated to match the composition of bitch's milk rather than being adapted from cow's milk, analysing at 34% protein, 37% fat and 23 MJ/kg — the elevated fat is what a growing puppy needs — and it is deliberately low in lactose and carbohydrate to aid digestion. One level 6.5g scoop makes 30 millilitres of milk, and 215g makes a litre. PeekAPaw stocks 215g, 1kg, 5kg and 20kg, which covers a breeder with one litter and a rescue or boarding operation rearing continuously. Weigh pups daily while they are on milk, and talk to your vet early if one is not gaining.

Making Up Milk
To make 30mL of milk: Mix 1 level scoop (6.5g) of powder with 25mL of warm water.
To make 1 litre of milk: Mix 215g of powder with 850mL of warm water.
Add about half the water to the powder first and mix to a paste. Then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Pre-boil the water to ensure it is sterilised. If the water is too hot it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold then it will be difficult to disperse the powder. An electric whisk can be used for mixing larger quantities. Milk can be stored in the fridge for up to a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. It is useful to make milk up in larger volumes and store it frozen in small portions (e.g. ice cube trays), so that the required daily feed volumes can be easily thawed out. Once thawed out, discard any unused milk, and wash feeding utensils thoroughly.
