Please involve a vet, early

Hand-rearing is not only about the milk. Newborn puppies cannot regulate their own temperature, need feeding through the night at intervals set by their age, and can go downhill in a matter of hours — so the feed is one part of a job that also involves warmth, weighing daily, and knowing what a puppy in trouble looks like. Beaphar print mixing and feeding instructions on the tub and those are the ones to follow. If you have found yourself hand-rearing unexpectedly, ring a vet today rather than at the weekend.

Why we chose it

It is the one people reach for, and it has been made for over 100 years — which in something you might need at three in the morning counts for a great deal. If you breed, it is worth having in the cupboard before the night you need it.

— Matt, founder

Full description

Hand-rearing a puppy is one of the very few things sold in a pet shop where getting it wrong has consequences within hours rather than weeks. Lactol is the standard answer to it — Beaphar have been making it for over 100 years — and it is formulated to sit as close to a bitch's own milk as a powder reasonably can.

It is a complete milk replacement feed, meaning it can be the whole diet for a puppy with no other source. Beaphar build it on highly digestible proteins, with vitamins to support the immune system, minerals for bone and muscle development, docosahexaenoic acid for normal brain development and vision, and dextrose as a quick source of energy. The same tub doubles as a complementary feed for a lactating bitch, or for a dog who is ill or recovering and needs their calories to be easy to take.
