Does the powder require refrigeration?
Yes, but not immediatley after opening. Esbilac powder can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 months after opening and then must be refrigerated. (Esbilac powder can be used up to 1 additional month after refrigeration.)
Can KMR be fed to a puppy or Esbilac to a kitten?
Each of our PetAg formulas are designed for species specific nutritional needs so they are not interchangeable.
Why are the fat and protein levels in Esbilac/KMR liquid different than in the powders?
The Guaranteed Analysis on liquid & powdered milk replacers reflects values for each specific product. Powdered replacer values are higher since they’re listed without added water. After adding 2 parts water, fat and protein will match the liquid.
The formula looks clumpy or smells like spoiled milk, is it safe for use?
No. Milk Replacers are perishable products that are high in fat and protein that have a live probiotic included as well. If a formula appears spoiled in any way, it should NEVER be fed to an animal.

PUPPY WEANING FOOD – Esbilac 2nd Step is formulated to follow Esbilac, Goat’s Milk Esbilac, or mother’s milk, and gently introduces nursing puppies to solid food. Best for puppies that are up on their feet and lapping from a bowl (4-5 weeks old).
BOOSTS BRAIN DEVELOPMENT – With vitamins, minerals, trace nutrients, and DHA, our formula meets the nutritional needs of young puppies and supports visual & cognitive development.
EASY TO DIGEST – Our powder is made with natural milk protein, so it’s highly digestible. Once mixed, it should be lapped from a bowl, not fed from a bottle. Use until ready to transition to solid food (7-8 weeks old).
EASY-TO-MIX FORMULA – Whisk or shake 1 part powdered Esbilac 2nd Step into 2 parts warm water. Do not mix more than can be consumed in 24 hours. Do not use a blender to mix.
ABOUT US – Pet-Ag offers solutions to enrich the lives of animals & their caregivers. From nutritional supplements to grooming products, all our products are science-backed, formulated with high-quality ingredients, and supported by quality control.
Customers say

However, some customers have reported that the food causes diarrhea and vomiting in their pets.

Make puppy transition a breeze
I breed German Shepherds. At 5-6 weeks I begin to supplement with softened kibble, maybe some hamburger, full fat yogurt and cottage cheese. I pour a few cups of Esbilac on top. The pups love it and they are healthy and satisfied. Its makes the transform nursing to food a breeze!

Lifesaver for weaning pups
Mom didn’t have milk and pups were bottle fed. As they got older they were getting more hungry and blowing through puppy formula. This made weaning a breeze and they loved it. Never seen them pass out so fast with big full bellies.

Good buy
Unbeknownst to me, my daughter RokC was only just under 6wks when we first got her and was still bottle feeding. Ordered the formula and received it the next day. She took it from a bottle the 1st could nights and by Sunday (about 4 days later) she was able to eat from a bowl. Has been the only thing she does eat/drink since we got her and she seems to love it. Doesn’t give her any digestion issues and she has slowly put on weight.

Mixes easy, pups gobble it up.
This product has been a perfect step 2 in weaning our pups from both mom and the bottle. We had an unusually large litter so mom couldn’t keep up. We had to bottle feed. This product has been perfect for weaning from liquid puppy replacer to a thicker, added nutrition product before moving on to dog food mush. It isn’t available at our pet store so it was great to find it here on Amazon for a reasonable price and fast delivery. It mixes well, no lumps to have to break up, has good instructions for measuring the mix, and the puppies love it.

puppies weaning milk.
This is really a good formula for puppies if you are to wean them off of their motherâs milk.
Great product, 5lb bag came ripped –
Great product, 5lb bag came ripped and missing most of the product
I was ordering the 14oz cans for a while and was really pleased with it. For those that donât know, this product is not meant to be served alone in a bottle! Itâs meant to be lapped out of a bowl preferably mixed into puppy mush. My dog stopped feeding her puppies due to injuries to her teats at about 3 1/2 weeks old so I made the very watery mush for the pups (8 of them) and they LOVED IT immediately. I was worried that they might not be interested in it at first but they lapped it up like it was candy! They have been growing great and their poop HAS indeed turned solid, unlike the few 1 star reviews on this product. Like I said before this formula is not meant to be given alone and is mostly used for puppy mush/ supplemental feeding with moms milk IN SMALL AMOUNTS. For bottle feeding, youâd need to use a different formula and to prevent diarrhea mix this with a fine powder of blended puppy kibble and some water. This product is labeled 2ND STEP after all! Anyways I finally decided to bite the bullet and pay the 90$ for the big bag, I do wish that this product was cheeper 🙁 but I bought the big bag because my puppies are 5 weeks old now and I do have 8 of them so I was running out of the 14oz cans faster than I could buy them. When the 5lb bag came I was sad to find the bag looked like it had been sliced open with a knife and over half the product was missing/ poured out. I tested the cut and tried to tear it a little bit more (after I took the picture) to see if the cut would look different when torn rather than what I suspected what a slice and you clearly tell the difference between the teared part and the sliced part. I think itâs possible that their assembly line might have a sharp screw or piece of metal that inflicted the damage, but either way I was refunded so Iâm quite happy with how things turned out! Hopefully the next bag will come intact!

Excellent puppy food
When we got our puppy he would not eat. He was 8 weeks old and I was told he was weaned. But maybe the change was too much for him..we tried every kind of food under the sun..the ONLY thing he would eat.thank goodness is this..He LOVES THIS, it has literally been a life saver. Additionally, he went from 2.2 lbs to 4.9 lbs in a month! He is a cairn apso mix..as close as we can figure.. he is bouncy and punky and naughty as puppies should be..I bought 3 cans and we are on our last can..he is eating other food now..mostly he eats what I feed my 2 other 75 lb adult dogs. He still refuses puppy food, the little squirter! So that, blue buffalo dry puppy food and adult dog canned food. But thank God for Es bil ac..we would have been in real trouble without a product like this! It is the best stuff..it’s easier to mix with a small wisk or a relish fork..

Transition
This is totally new for me,having a baby dog,it’s been Krazy but with this kind of help, the transition from milk to dog food ,is super easy.
Kristina I Desaulniers –
When my vet said my dog was going to give birth to 12 puppies and that I would have to help feed them I was freaking out. You don’t milk her?! They actually make powdered (or liquid) milk replacer for puppies. Thank God! Unfortunately she wasn’t the greatest mother and the girls didn’t survive the first night so I had to rescue the remaining female and bottle feed her. There are two different stages of this powder and they both saved her life. She’s in K9 training now!

I used this product during my last litter of puppies. It was absolutely fantastic for supplement, when mama dog was nearing the end of her nursing journey. It is very smooth mix as well, and the puppies absolutely loved it. It was also very good and effective to use in the puppy âmushâ stage. A+++
