Best Dog Milk Replacers of 2025

"This is the best milk replacement I've tried. I always keep it on hand for expecting moms. When my dog's litters were too much for her, this product helped lighten her load. It works wonders for healthy puppies!"

"When I first got my little girl, she was tiny and needed this milk because she didn’t have her mother. It was very creamy and easy to use, and it didn’t cause any health issues. She loved it!"

"I used this supplement to help my six puppies with weaning. I blended puppy food and this supplement to create a mash, and they lapped it up immediately. They loved it!"

"I rescued three tiny puppies at four weeks old. They were eating puppy formula every two hours for the first week. I found that goat milk is healthy and easy to digest for all mammals. This product is ready to pour, so there was no mixing required. I did think it would be a bigger size based on the picture, but overall, it was great and the pups loved it."

"This product was perfect for supplementing puppies to ensure they were getting enough nutrition. I really appreciated how easy it was to use—just open the can, warm it up, and feed the babies. None of the puppies experienced diarrhea, which was a relief. I’ve tried both the powder and the canned version, and I can say the canned option is much more versatile."

"While I admit it was my mistake, I’ve been purchasing puppy milk online and didn't realize I was getting liquid instead of powdered. I was taken aback by the price—$13 for a tiny can is quite steep compared to a larger tub of powdered milk. Just a heads up for anyone else considering this."

"This puppy milk replacement has been a lifesaver for my litter of newborn puppies! After their mother stopped nursing, I needed a reliable substitute, and this product exceeded my expectations. The formula is easy to mix and has a pleasant smell, which the puppies accepted right away. I love that it closely mimics mother's milk, so I don’t worry about nutritional gaps. The puppies are thriving, gaining weight, and staying active. It’s filled with essential nutrients, and I appreciate the clear instructions for preparation. It’s also gentle on their tummies—no digestive issues, which I previously experienced with other brands. I highly recommend this product!"

"I ordered the formula for my new puppy, who I thought was 8 weeks but was actually 6 weeks. He still wanted to nurse, so I chose this based on its high ratings. My puppy loved it and had a full tummy. Later, when our senior dog was injured by a larger dog and lost her appetite, I remembered this formula could help. I started using a syringe to give her the formula, and she perked right up! Now she’s doing great and even stealing her new brother's leftovers. It’s easy to use, mixes well, and has no lumps."

"I bought this as a supplement for my 16-year-old dog, who struggles to maintain weight. She has always been lean and hard to keep weight on, but as she’s gotten older, it’s been even more challenging. I’ve tried various calorie supplements, but none worked well until I discovered that this puppy milk formula can be given to adult dogs too. It’s cost-effective and has made a noticeable difference in my senior dog’s health—she has a shinier coat, better body condition, and more energy. I’m so glad I found this product to help her enjoy her time with us."

"My 4-week-old puppy drinks it like there’s no tomorrow. I feed her room temperature from a bottle and warm the rest before feeding. We finish a can in 2 days max!"

"After my female dog was hit by a car, I had to bottle feed all 12 puppies. This product was a lifesaver, and they were all healthy at their check-up!"

"I switched from goat's milk to Esbilac because the quality was poor. My puppies didn’t love the taste but adjusted well. This product really saved my pups!"

"I use this for my American pitbull puppy. Her mother weaned her too early, so I turned to milk replacement powders. After trying several brands, I found this one to be the best. Now at 4 months old, she still enjoys it mixed with her kibble, and it helps her grow strong. The pleasant smell and easy mixing make it a daily treat she looks forward to!"

"This product has been fantastic for my older dog who got injured and lost interest in eating. I was able to syringe feed him this milk replacement, which kept him hydrated and nourished until I could figure out what was wrong. I highly recommend it!"

"I have 7 husky puppies that are 5 weeks old, and since their mom stopped feeding them, I’ve been using this milk replacement. They absolutely love it! I even started blending it with their puppy food, and they can't get enough!"

"This stuff really came through for us when we had an unexpected cria born to a disabled alpaca. Since the mother couldn't nurse, we've been bottle feeding, and this product is incredibly convenient—just add water! I love having it delivered right to my home."

"When my emotional support cat developed a cyst, she could only eat soft foods. I was at my wits' end because she’s quite a fussy eater. I bought this product at the pet store, and she adored it, gaining weight within a week. Now, my other pets enjoy it too, and I’m grateful for the quick online delivery. This powder even perks up my sick cat, Francine. If you have a picky eater or a sick pet, I highly recommend trying this!"

"As a dog breeder, I stumbled upon this product while searching for something else. I decided to test it against a pricier competitor’s product. To my surprise, none of my dogs preferred the expensive option! They all gravitated towards this Ultra 24. I even use it for nursing mothers and for transitioning puppies to solid food. The results have been exceptional, with no digestive issues, and at only 4¢ per ounce, it's a fantastic deal!"

"I found this product essential for quick delivery and puppy nourishment. My pups are thriving thanks to it!"

"I bought this as a precaution for my mama during birth. Luckily, we didn’t have issues, but I used it to mix with kibble while weaning, and it worked perfectly!"

"This brand is reliable. I wanted it on hand for my large litter. It was great to provide extra nourishment for pups who needed it. The pups loved it, even the big dogs wanted some!"

"I was worried about my pup's nutrition since he was weaned too early. Supplementing with this milk has been great! He gets excited when he sees me preparing it and is thriving. I highly recommend it for early weaned pups!"

"Initially, I was hesitant due to negative reviews about clumps and seals. However, I decided to try it for my two-week-old pit puppy. It mixed easily and she loves it! So far, this is the only milk I'll buy for her!"

"I was a bit concerned about the clumps, but I found that using warm water helped. After the mother couldn't nurse, we stepped in, and now all the pups are thriving and doing great!"

"My dog LOVES the goats milk! It has become a staple for his meal :)"

"I use this as a hydration option for my cat a few times a week with her dinner. She really can't get enough - I will definitely be ordering more when the time comes! This isn't JUST for dogs; buy it for your cats too! They will thank you!"

"First of all, I adore the packaging! It's a nice tin can. The pups devoured it with their meal - they can be picky eaters. They went on a longer walk and recovered quicker than usual. A quality product!"

"I recently used Breeder's Edge Foster Care Canine Milk Replacer for a litter of puppies and was thoroughly impressed. The powdered formula mixes easily, making feeding time a breeze, and the pups seem to love the taste. It's comforting to know it's formulated specifically for puppies, ensuring they get the nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy. For anyone raising young puppies, this 12oz package is a must-have, providing peace of mind that you're giving them a great start in life."

"My rescue has only been using Breeders Edge Foster Care because it's the best on the market. It's a quality product that’s affordable and safe. We switched from another kitten formula due to diarrhea and weight issues, but since introducing Breeders Edge, we’ve seen no more diarrhea and higher weights. As far as I'm concerned, that speaks for itself. We will never look back!"

"Such a fantastic product! All the cat rescues I know have switched to this from Pet Ag's KMR, and wow, what a difference! The babies are nice and fat, with no intestinal problems. Their coats are shiny, and they are growing like weeds! I would recommend this product 1000%!"
