Frequently Asked Questions about Adult Animal Use of PetAg Milk Replacers

 
Are KMR and Esbilac a calcium supplement?

No, they are not. The formulas may be fed to lactating mothers as a dietary supplement for added energy, but it is not a calcium supplement. The calcium:phosphorus ratio of both milk replacers is approximately 1.3:1.0 which is the proper ratio for puppies and kittens as well as cats and dogs.

Is it okay to feed my adult pet KMR or Esbilac?

From the time after an animal is weaned and is no longer drinking milk its body starts to lessen the production of lactase. Lactase is the enzyme needed to break down lactose, the simple sugar found in all dairy products. Due to possible lactose intolerance Esbilac and KMR should be fed in small amounts as a treat, not a complete meal. Suggested amounts are listed on the labels.
