Directions for Mixing Veta-Lac Canine:
Add three level measures of Veta-Lac Canine powder to 8
fluid ounces (1/2 pint or cup) of very warm water and shake or stir vigorously.
This mixture may be stored in a covered container under refrigeration for
several days. Emulsification of fats is improved by refrigeration and only brief
mixing is needed just before feeding. If a smaller amount of reconstituted
liquid is required, mix one measure of medium to firmly packed Veta-Lac Canine
powder with three measures of very warm water as described above. This product
is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.
Directions for mixing Veta-Lac Canine:
Your veterinarian should be consulted for advice about
the care and feeding of puppies. Feed young puppies whenever they are hungry but
avoid overfeeding. Feed from a dropper or small nipple bottle. Experience will
soon tell you how much and how often to feed. Veta-Lac Canine may be fed either
at body temperature or refrigerator temperature, but avoid sudden changes or
wide variations in temperature.
Strong newborn puppies should normally be fed six times
during each 24 hours (weak or very small animals should be fed every two hours)
for the first few days. The number of feedings may be reduced to four times
every 24 hours during the second week.
By the third or fourth week, feeding three times per day
is usually sufficient. Puppies should be eating from a bowl and a small amount
of dry meal can be added to the liquid to make a gruel-like mixture.
Gradually decrease the amount of liquid being fed and
increase the amount of regular ration. This change from all liquid feeding to
the regular ration should be made in not less than two to three weeks. For
best results, continue to feed small or supplemental amounts of reconstituted
liquid after weaning.
