Feeding Guidelines
Directions for Preparation and Use: Weigh the puppy. Feed at least 1/2 oz of JUST BORN® for every 2 ounces of body weight, daily. Puppies should be allowed to consume as much formula as they want. Shake well before using. To open, unfold the corner and cut along the dotted line. Pour liquid into an appropriate sized, clean Just Born® nursing bottle. Reclose carton and refrigerate. Heat liquid by placing nursing bottle in a pan of tepid water. Test temperature on your wrist. It should feel slightly warm.
Do not microwave.After feeding, hold the puppy's head on your shoulder and rub his back gently until he burps. Make water readily available after puppies are 2 weeks of age.
Your veterinarian should be consulted for advice about the care and feeding of puppies.

Orphaned Puppies:
If possible, puppies should nurse from their mother for the first 2 days of their lives to receive nutrient rich colostrum. Mother's colostrum provides temporary protection from numerous diseases and contains growth factors believed to stimulate protein synthesis, improve fat utilization, and promote cell growth. While mother's milk is always preferable, JUST BORN® contains nutrient rich colostrum milk powder harvested at USDA inspected facilities. It is extremely important to weigh puppies frequently (every day) to ensure they are receiving adequate amounts of supplement. If a puppy loses weight after 48 hours, consult your veterinarian. Feed weak or small puppies every 4 hours, feed at 8-hour intervals if strong and active. Puppies' needs will vary and the time and amount may have to be increased or decreased, depending on the breed, growth rate and activity of the puppy. Orphan puppies must be kept warm for proper digestion to occur. Also, use a warm, moist washcloth and gently wipe the puppy's bottom until it wets and has a bowel movement, several times daily, to imitate a mother's care. This is required for young puppy survival.
Weaning Puppies:
Healthy puppies may be weaned when they are about 25 days old or when they can lap formula from a bowl. At this age, blend a high quality dry puppy food with warm JUST BORN® Liquid Formula to make a paste. Feed the mixture 3-4 times a day for the first week. Each week, increase the amount of dry food in the mixture so that after 6-7 weeks the puppy is fully on dry food.
Pregnant and Lactating Dams:
Mix 1 tablespoon per 5 pounds of body weight into the pregnant dam's daily ration. Continue until the puppies are weaned.
Supplementation:
If a supplement is desired for a growing puppy, show dog, large litter, geriatric or convalescing dog, simply mix 1 tablespoon per 5 pounds of body weight into the dog's daily ration of food.
