Beaphar Lactol Milk Replacer Bottle & Teats for Kittens & Puppies

The Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set is a comprehensive kit that provides all the necessary tools for hand-rearing young animals. It comes in a convenient box and includes a feeding bottle, six teats, and a cleaning brush.

The feeding bottle is specifically designed for the needs of newborn and growing animals, such as kittens, puppies, guinea pigs, rabbits, hedgehogs, and more. It allows you to safely and easily provide them with the necessary nutrition during their early stages of life.

The set also includes six teats, ensuring that you have spares on hand in case they need to be replaced or if you are caring for multiple animals. The teats are designed to mimic the natural feeding experience, making it easier for the young animals to latch on and consume their food.

To maintain proper hygiene and cleanliness, the Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set also provides a cleaning brush. This brush enables you to thoroughly clean the feeding bottle and teats after each use, ensuring that they remain sanitary and safe for young animals.

With the Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set, you have all the essential tools in one convenient package to effectively hand-rear and nourish young animals. It provides a reliable solution for ensuring their proper growth and development.

Please follow the instructions provided with the set for proper usage and care. Additionally, it is always advisable to consult with a veterinarian for specific guidance on hand-rearing and feeding young animals.

Instructions

ALWAYS FULLY READ THE PRODUCT PACKAGING BEFORE USE.  

1. Ensure all equipment is clean and sterile before use, preferably by soaking it in a sterilising solution.
2. Mix the milk replacer as directed and allow to cool until lukewarm (38°C or blood temperature).
3. Puncture the top of the teat with a thick needle or cut a small piece off the top with scissors. Be careful: too large an opening in the teat can cause gagging.
4. Put a suitable amount of prepared milk replacer into the bottle and ensure it is re-secured properly. (If using Beaphar Lactol, refer to the feeding guidelines on the tub)
5. Gently insert the teat into the animal's mouth, release a few drops into the cheek, and allow it to swallow. DO NOT SQUEEZE HARD in case you force liquid into the lungs.
6. Do not allow young animals to chew on the teat. If an animal is chewing rather than sucking, it has finished feeding and the bottle should be withdrawn.
7. Clean the bottle and rubber teat thoroughly after each use. If a dishwashing liquid is used, rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Be prepared to repeat this every 2–3 hours until the animal is strong enough to feed from a bottle.
