Key Features

Benefits
- Nutritionally Balanced for Puppies
Wombaroo is specifically formulated to provide the balance of nutrients required by growing puppies when maternal milk is unavailable or insufficient.
- Supports Healthy Growth
The elevated fat content provides the high energy levels required by rapidly growing puppies.
- Low Lactose Formula
The reduced lactose content helps make the milk easier for puppies to digest.
- Suitable from Birth to Weaning
Can be used as a complete milk replacer for orphaned puppies or as supplementary nutrition alongside maternal feeding.
Making Up the Milk
- To make 30mL: Mix 1 level scoop (6.5g) of powder with 25mL of warm, pre-boiled water.
- To make 1 litre: Mix 215g of powder with 850mL of warm, pre-boiled water.
Add approximately half the water to the powder and mix into a smooth paste. Add the remaining water and mix thoroughly.
Water should be warm rather than hot. Water that is too hot may cause the milk to curdle, while cold water can make the powder difficult to disperse. An electric whisk can be used when preparing larger quantities.
Feeding Guide
Warm prepared milk to approximately 35°C before feeding.
Feed approximately every 2 hours for the first 3 days, gradually reducing to every 4 hours by one week of age and every 6 hours by two weeks.
Very young puppies require stimulation to urinate and defecate after feeding. Once their eyes are open and voluntary bowel movements begin, puppies can gradually be encouraged to lap.
Regular weighing is important to monitor growth and determine appropriate daily feeding volumes. Overfeeding milk may cause diarrhoea, so recommended feeding volumes should be followed.
Additional Information
Prepared Wombaroo milk can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen for up to 2 weeks. Larger quantities can be divided into small portions before freezing, making individual feeds easier to thaw as required. Once thawed, discard unused milk rather than refreezing it. Wash and sterilise feeding equipment thoroughly between feeds.
Always ensure puppies are warm before feeding, as chilled neonates should not be fed until their body temperature has been safely restored. Monitor puppies closely for consistent weight gain, hydration and normal stools, and seek veterinary advice if a puppy is failing to gain weight, develops persistent diarrhoea or is weak or reluctant to feed.
