Milk Replacement Recipes for Puppies


Milk replacement comes in handy when you have orphaned puppies or when the mother runs out of milk, which often happens to first time canine mothers.  Even thought canine milk replacer recommended by your veterinarian is nutritionally complete, this might not always be an option.


Recipe 1:

  • 4 ounces of goat's or cow's milk.
  • 4 ounces of water.
  • 2 - 4 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
  • 2 crushed tums or similar calcium carbonate tablets.
Thoroughly mix all ingredients in a blender and heat it to approximately 100°F.  Let it cool before feeding it to puppies.  Do a heat test on your wrist to ensure it's not too hot.  Refrigerate unused formula up to one week.


Recipe 2:

  • Beef Liver
  • 10 oz can condensed, undiluted goat's milk/cow's milk
  • 1/3 cup of water
  • 2 Egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon whole yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon of corn syrup
  • 1 dropper full of infant vitamins
Boil the liver in a cup of water.  Strain the boiled liquid from the liver and feed the liver to the mother.  Add the rest of the ingredients to the liver water and blend it until smooth.  You can freeze this formula in ice cube trays for up to six months or refrigerate for up to one week.


Recipe 3:

  • 12 oz of unsweetened, evaporated milk
  • 13 oz of boiling water
  • 1 jar beef baby food
  • 8 oz of unflavored yogurt
  • 2 cooked eggs
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.  Refrigerate and use within 3 days.


Recipe 4:

  • 10 oz of canned unsweetened evaporated milk (or whole goat's milk)
  • 3 oz sterilized water
  • 1 raw egg yolk
  • 1 cup plain whole yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of corn syrup
Place all the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.  Heat the mixture to 100°F and let it cool before feeding.  Mixture can be refrigerated for up to one week.
