Can you recommend a good toy puppy formula and some suggestions for feeding puppies that need supplementation?
– I have used many formulas over the years and have decided that goat’s milk has the best result. If you have a supply of fresh, clean goat’s milk available, use that. Fresh goat’s milk can be frozen in ice cube trays and then transferred to freezer baggies so you can thaw small portions as needed. Do not use a microwave to thaw fresh milk. It will kill the beneficial enzymes. If you cannot obtain fresh milk, several goat’s milk based formulas are now commercially available. Most health food stores and some grocery stores also stock packaged goat’s milk. Julie Moreno suggested the following puppy formula: • 1 Can Condensed Milk • 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise (Best Foods brand only, not low fat) • 4 oz. Plain Yogurt (not low fat, Mountain High brand is good) • 4 egg yolks Blend well. (Remove white membranes from the yolks so they don’t clog your feeding tube.) Refrigerate (stays good 5 days in refrigerator). Warm to wrist temperature before feeding. For a 3-4 oz. pup, feed 1 cc every 2 hours
