Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What makes PetLac™ Powder for Kittens different from other milk replacers?
Ans: PetLac™ Powder for Kittens meets most nutritional needs of newborn kittens up to six weeks. It is formulated to resemble mother’s milk. The primary difference is that it contains both plant and milk protein sources. If possible, kittens should nurse their mother for at least two days to receive colostrum.
Q2: Does this kitten milk replacement formula contain probiotics?
Ans: Yes, PetLac™ Powder for Kittens contains probiotics for added digestive support. It includes dried Lactobacillus casei, L. fermentum, L. acidophilus, L. plantarum, Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Pediococcus acidilactici fermentation products to help promote balanced digestion and nutrient absorption.
Q3: Are puppy and kitten formulas interchangeable with this product?
Ans: No, PetLac™ Powder for Kittens is not interchangeable with puppy formulas. Puppies and kittens have different nutritional needs. A kitten cannot thrive on puppy formula, and a puppy cannot thrive on kitten formula. Always use the correct species-specific formula.
Q4: How do I properly mix this newborn kitten milk replacer?
Ans: To prepare PetLac™ Powder for Kittens, mix 1 tablespoon powder with 2 tablespoons warm water. This makes approximately 2 1/3 tablespoons, or 7 teaspoons (35 ml), of liquid. This amount will feed a 4 ounce kitten for approximately one day.
Q5: Can this kitten nutrition formula be given to pregnant or lactating cats?
Ans: Yes, PetLac™ Powder for Kittens can be fed to pregnant or lactating females. Feed 2 teaspoons (4g) per 5 pounds (2.2kg) of body weight daily, mixed in regular food. Follow recommended feeding amounts and consult your veterinarian for additional advice.
Q6: Does this easy-to-digest kitten formula contain colostrum?
Ans: No, PetLac™ Powder for Kittens does not contain colostrum. If possible, kittens should nurse their mother for a minimum of two days. Colostrum is species specific, and benefits from cow-derived sources are difficult to distinguish for kittens.
Q7: How much should I feed my kitten using this milk replacement powder?
Ans: When feeding PetLac™ Powder for Kittens, provide 2 tablespoons of ready-to-feed liquid or reconstituted powder per 4 ounces of body weight over 24 hours. For example, an 8 ounce kitten needs 4 tablespoons of formula during a full day.

Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
