Frequently Asked Questions

Does Esbilac contain colostrum?
No. Puppies should ideally receive colostrum from their mother for at least the first two days after birth.

Can Esbilac be fed after expiration?
No. Milk replacers are perishable and should never be fed beyond the expiration date.

Are nutrient amounts beyond the label available?
Only nutrients required by regulation appear on the label. Additional nutrient quantities are proprietary.

Can Esbilac be fed to kittens?
No. Puppy and kitten milk replacers are species-specific and not interchangeable.

Why are bottle nipples not pre-cut?
Holes are not pre-cut to allow caregivers to customize flow rate and prevent overfeeding or aspiration risk.
