We use esbilac puppy milk replacer until about two weeks old . and as Elvis said , we soaked purina puppy chow in the milk replacer, and blended It In a blender.

Bottled fed from two days old, now their going on 7 weeks. I think their doing great.

right.That Esbilac is the best stuff I've ever used.And the pup's love it.They can't get enough.It's also good to give your female the first few weeks after givin' birth.It'll make her milk come in stronger and richer.
