Directions for Feeding: Esbilac 2nd Step has been formulated to meet the nutritional needs of young puppies progressing to solid foods, and is developed to follow Esbilac, Goat’s Milk Esbilac, or mother’s milk.

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.
