Pet-Ag Nursing Kit

Pet-Ag Nursing Kit

The Pet-Ag Nursing Kit is an essential feeding solution designed for both small and large baby animals, including puppies, kittens, wildlife, and exotic species. This versatile kit includes bottles, nipples, and a cleaning brush to ensure a safe and convenient feeding experience. Available in two sizes—2 oz. for smaller animals and 4 oz. for larger animals—the kit accommodates the specific needs of your pet, allowing them to feed at their own pace. Bottle feeding not only enables animals to refuse formula when they are full but also helps develop their facial muscles and stimulate the normal flow of saliva for better digestion and growth.

Benefits of the Pet-Ag Nursing Kit

• Size Variety: Includes a 2 oz. bottle for small animals and a 4 oz. bottle for larger animals, providing the right size for each pet's needs.
• Durable Bottles: Designed to withstand repeated use, with marked graduations to easily monitor food intake and prevent over or underfeeding.
• Variety of Nipples: Comes with elongated and balloon-style nipples, catering to animals with longer palates, wildlife, and exotic species. Made from durable, flexible, latex-free silicone for easy acceptance.
• Feeding Control: Bottle feeding allows animals to refuse the formula when full, ensuring they do not overeat.
• Facial Muscle Development: Promotes natural nursing action, aiding in the development of facial muscles and stimulating saliva flow for improved digestion.
• Cleaning Brush: Includes a brush sized specifically for the bottles, ensuring thorough and easy cleaning after every feeding session.

Instructions for Use

1. Preparing the Nipple:

   • Before use, make a hole in the nipple using one of the following methods:
     • Cross-Cut: Make a cross-cut at the tip of the nipple with a razor blade.
     • Small Snip: Using a strong needle or cuticle scissors, make a very small stitch or snip at the tip of the nipple, removing a tiny piece.
   • Check the flow with water; a steady drip or thin stream should occur when slight pressure is applied to the nipple.

2. Feeding:

   • Always monitor the animal during feeding to ensure they are nursing correctly and at a safe pace.
   • If one or more animals are ill, use a different bottle or feed the ill animal last to prevent contamination.

3. Cleaning After Feeding:

   • Wash the bottle, cap, and nipple with hot soapy water.
   • Rinse thoroughly after each feeding session to maintain hygiene and prevent residue build-up.

4. Consulting a Veterinarian:

   • If the animal is too small or weak to nurse on its own, consult your veterinarian for advice and assistance.

Care Instructions

• Wash all parts of the kit (bottle, nipple, and cap) with hot soapy water before the first use and after each feeding session.
• Use the included cleaning brush to reach all areas of the bottle for a thorough wash.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and ensure cleanliness.

Size Information

• 2 oz. Bottle: Ideal for small animals, such as newborn kittens, puppies, and wildlife species.
• 4 oz. Bottle: Suitable for larger animals that require a greater volume of milk replacer.

Additional Tips for Use

• Always check the flow of the nipple before each use to ensure it is not too fast or too slow, preventing choking or underfeeding.
• Keep multiple bottles on hand to use for different animals, especially if one is ill.
• Avoid overfeeding by monitoring the animal's intake; allow them to refuse formula when they are full.
