Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk 250g

Beaphar Lactol has a superior amino acid content and is enriched with essential vitamins and minerals, providing a perfectly balanced complete feed. Made from easily digested whey products it closely resembles natural queen's milk. Ultra-filtration concentrates the proteins, and a slow drying process during production preserves the protein molecules, making it more nutritionally valuable. Contains added taurine, and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), which has been shown to help cognitive development and visual acuity. Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk can also be used for weaning kittens, pregnant or lactating queens and sick or convalescing animals.

Instructions:

Using the scoop provided, add Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk to warm water (allow boiled water to cool before use) and stir until completely dissolved.

These should always be clean and sterile. Beaphar Lactol can also be mixed with cold water for older cats. Prepared Beaphar Lactol Kitten can be refrigerated for 24 hours but should be reheated to 38°C or blood temperature before feeding to young animals.
