It is important that puppies receive colostrum within the first 12 hours of birth
Ideally the puppies should receive colostrum from a bitch, but if this is not possible Jumpstart™ Full Cream Colostrum should be fed.

Note:
- Puppies need to be fed by a bottle and teat until their eyes are open.
- Puppies can then lap milk.
- When lapping begins drinking water must be readily available to the puppies.
Important note:
- Puppies must be stimulated to defecate and urinate after each feed.
- Consult your veterinarian or breeder for particular advice about caring for your breed of puppy.
Feeding recommendations for adult dogs
- 100 grams of lamb milk replacer (LMR) mixed into dry feed is an excellent supplement to the daily requirement of working dogs and nursing bitches.
- Clean fresh water should be available at all times.
