Esbilac Puppy Milk Replacer Powder

Nutritionally Complete Formula for Orphaned & Rejected Pups

Esbilac Puppy Milk Replacer Powder is a complete nutritional supplement formulated to mimic the mother dog’s milk for puppies that are orphaned, rejected, or need supplemental feeding. Ideal for newborn to six-week-old puppies, this easy-to-digest milk substitute provides essential proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals to ensure optimal growth and development during critical early life stages.

Whether your puppy is recovering from illness, separated from the dam, or simply needs extra nutrition, Esbilac Powder supports healthy development of organs, immunity, bones, and brain—much like the nutrient profile of mother’s milk. It’s also suitable for growing small animals such as ferrets or wildlife requiring a puppy milk alternative.
