About Beaphar:
For over 80 years Beaphar has provided pet owners with easy access to quality care products and medicines at affordable prices. Their products include flea and tick control, worming, calming and behavioural products as well as dental, joint care and more, because pets are family too.

About Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set:
The Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set contains everything you need to hand-rear young animals in one box.  The contents include a feeding bottle, six teats and a cleaning brush. This bottle has been specifically designed for feeding newborn and growing animals.

Features:

  • For use with any milk replacer: Beaphar Lactol Feeding Set is for use with Beaphar Lactol Kitten Milk or Puppy Milk, or Beaphar Small Animal Milk, but can be used with any animal milk replacer;
  • Everything you need in one box: Contains x1 bottle, x6 teats and x1 cleaning brush;
  • For hand-rearing: Helps support newborn, underweight and orphaned kittens, puppies and small animals;
  • Specially designed for young animals: The bottle has been designed for feeding newborn and growing animals (kittens, puppies, guinea pigs, rabbits, hedgehogs etc.);
  • Easy-to-use: Puncture the top of the teat with a large needle or cut a small piece off the top with scissor. If an animal is chewing, rather than sucking, it has finished feeding and the bottle should be withdrawn.

    • How to Use:
    1. Ensure all equipment is clean and sterile before use, preferably by soaking in a sterilising solution;
    2. Mix the milk replacer as directed and allow it to cool until lukewarm (38°C or blood temperature);
    3. Puncture the top of the teat with a thick needle or cut a small piece off the top with scissors. Be careful: too large an opening in the teat can cause gagging;
    4. Put a suitable amount of prepared milk replacer into the bottle and ensure it is re-secured properly. (If using Beaphar Lactol, refer to the feeding guidelines on the tub);
    5. Gently insert the teat into the animal's mouth, release a few drops into the cheek, and allow to swallow. DO NOT SQUEEZE HARD in case you force liquid into the lungs;
    6. Do not allow young animals to chew on the teat. If an animal is chewing rather than sucking, it has finished feeding and the bottle should be withdrawn;
    7. Clean the bottle and rubber teat thoroughly after each use. If dish-washing liquid is used, rinse thoroughly afterwards.

    Be prepared to repeat this every 2-3 hours until the animal is strong enough to feed from a bottle
