Directions for Mixing: Gently stir or shake 1 part powdered Esbilac 2nd Step into 2 parts warm water (a part may be a teaspoon, tablespoon or a cup). Do not mix more Esbilac 2nd Step than can be consumed in 24 hours. Do not use a blender. Reconstituted Esbilac 2nd Step must be refrigerated.

Directions for Feeding: Esbilac® 2nd Step™ should be lapped from a bowl, not fed from a bottle. Esbilac 2nd Step has been formulated to meet the nutritional needs of young puppies being weaned from mother, or bottle fed puppies progressing to solid foods. Puppies that are up on their feet and lapping from a bowl (4 to 5 weeks of age) may be introduced to Esbilac 2nd Step. Begin by offering as a thin gruel. Determine the daily amount of Esbilac 2nd Step powder to be fed to the puppy using the Feeding Instructions on reverse side. Fresh, clean water should always be available for drinking. It is recommended that Esbilac 2nd Step be fed until puppies are ready to transition to solid food (7 to 8 weeks of age). Puppies should be fed 4 times per day. Weigh the puppies at least once a week to monitor weight gain and adequacy of feeding. More or less food may be needed by individual puppies to satisfy their food requirements for optimal growth. As puppies grow, decrease the amount of water mixed with the powder until weaning food is an oatmeal consistency. Consult your veterinarian for additional advice.
