Baileys mum Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I was just wondering what everyone prefers to use? I had Biolac here last time, but we where lucky our bitch had lots of milk, & all pups put on good weight everyday so we never had to use it to supplement any of the pups...but we did use it when we initially started weaning the pups & the pups didn't seem too keen on it at all. So I was thinking of getting something different in for next time, so was just interested what everyone else uses. Thanks everyone Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileys mum Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Glad you asked this question as I am also curious...A friend of mine swears by Wombaroo Yep I was actually thinking of giving Wombaroo a go as I read that it is more closer to bitches milk.

Baileys mum Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 here is a link i found to another thread on the topic Linky Thanks for the link SparkyTansy such a diverse response though....looks like goats milk is very popular too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yes I am now considering goats milk for possible (but hopefully not) supplementation and also weaning... Can anyone tell me if the Long life Goats milk is ok to use or does it have to be fresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Wombaroo hands down. My last litter were failing badly, mum had toxic milk, and biolac was doing nothing - they gained no weight for 10 days. I swapped to Wombaroo and am now a convert! Its brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordogs Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I am very lucky I live in a rural area and can buy fresh for $2.50 a liter but before I found a source I was using the fresh one from supermarket and it was OK or you can buy goat milk powder from the health food store. If you can find a fresh producer it freezes very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eridor Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 after seeing what yarrowfell did with my litter on Wamberoo compared to the pup being supp fed with Biolac I am now a wamberoo convert as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andisa Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have posted this link to Leerburg milk formula and bottle feeding before and highly recommend this way of feeding the bitch and pups. I have used Wombaroo and a few other brands before - goats milk was far better but the best results I have had so far has been the Leerburg formula. Easily made, sometimes I used less yogurt than they do and still had great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommygirl Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Another Wombaroo fan here. Last litter Mum had trouble keeping up milk supply and we had to sup feed a bit, pups loved and it and all were nice big healthy, chunky pups. Really easy to mix up as you need.

Ozstar Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 1 can of evaporated milk to 1 can of cooled boiled water. This can last up to 5 days in the fridge. I have been using this for over 10 years and have always had fat healthy babies and is easy to make at 2am in the morning Leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxerheart Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Goats Milk, Preferably from a dairy, but you can get it in a long life container from Woolworths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldust Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Raised alot of litters on Wombaroo, love the stuff Ive tried Biolac, Divetelac and evaporated milk and the results were nowhere near as good as Wombaroo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilderblu Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Wombaroo fan here too. I've raised native animal orphans and supplemented pups on Divetalact and Wombaroo but Wombaroo gives much better weight gains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
