We all know that newborn puppies cannot eat other foods due to underdeveloped bodies and need to be fed dairy products. Some pet owners think, since dogs are also just born, they might as well feed them baby formula, which is convenient and nutritious. Today, the editor will tell everyone that this behavior is not advisable. Let's take a look at the specific reasons below.

1. The difference between pet milk powder and baby formula is obvious: one is lactose-free formula goat milk powder, and the other contains lactose cow's milk powder. Pet milk powder has good nutritional value and meets the needs of puppies. It contains essential proteins, fats, amino acids, and various vitamins necessary for puppy growth, maintaining the body's acid-base balance. Feeding this type of pet milk powder not only does not cause diarrhea but is absorbed better (the smaller molecular particles of goat milk aid absorption).

2. Indeed, baby formula contains many nutrients; depending on the brand, the focus and content of nutrients vary and are rich. However, there is a problem: the nutrients contained are not entirely suitable for puppies. Additionally, the quantity of nutrients required by puppies differs from humans. Moreover, baby formula contains lactose, and puppies' stomachs are naturally unable to digest lactose. After feeding, not only will the nutrients not be absorbed, but the stomach may also suffer severe diarrhea. Weak puppies can even die from diarrhea.

Through this article, everyone should now understand why baby formula is not suitable for feeding puppies. Therefore, you should choose milk powder made for pets, which is best suited for puppies. The editor reminds: when first feeding puppy milk powder, do not prepare it too concentrated, as puppies' stomachs may not tolerate it immediately. It is recommended to follow the instructions and gradually let the puppy adapt. The water temperature for mixing should not be too low; 60~80℃ is best. Test the temperature on your wrist before feeding to avoid burns or injuries. Wishing all dog owners' puppies healthy growth.
