About this item

  • PUPPY WEANING FOOD - Esbilac 2nd Step is formulated to follow Esbilac, Goat’s Milk Esbilac, or mother’s milk, and gently introduces nursing puppies to solid food. Best for puppies that are up on their feet and lapping from a bowl (4-5 weeks old).
  • BOOSTS BRAIN DEVELOPMENT - With vitamins, minerals, trace nutrients, and DHA, our formula meets the nutritional needs of young puppies and supports visual & cognitive development.
  • EASY TO DIGEST - Our powder is made with natural milk protein, so it’s highly digestible. Once mixed, it should be lapped from a bowl, not fed from a bottle. Use until ready to transition to solid food (7-8 weeks old).
  • EASY-TO-MIX FORMULA - Whisk or shake 1 part powdered Esbilac 2nd Step into 2 parts warm water. Do not mix more than can be consumed in 24 hours. Do not use a blender to mix.
  • ABOUT US - Pet-Ag offers solutions to enrich the lives of animals & their caregivers. From nutritional supplements to grooming products, all our products are science-backed, formulated with high-quality ingredients, and supported by quality control.

Great product, 5lb bag came ripped and missing most of the product
I was ordering the 14oz cans for a while and was really pleased with it. For those that don’t know, this product is not meant to be served alone in a bottle! It’s meant to be lapped out of a bowl preferably mixed into puppy mush. My dog stopped feeding her puppies due to injuries to her teats at about 3 1/2 weeks old so I made the very watery mush for the pups (8 of them) and they LOVED IT immediately. I was worried that they might not be interested in it at first but they lapped it up like it was candy! They have been growing great and their poop HAS indeed turned solid, unlike the few 1 star reviews on this product. Like I said before this formula is not meant to be given alone and is mostly used for puppy mush/ supplemental feeding with moms milk IN SMALL AMOUNTS. For bottle feeding, you’d need to use a different formula and to prevent diarrhea mix this with a fine powder of blended puppy kibble and some water. This product is labeled 2ND STEP after all! Anyways I finally decided to bite the bullet and pay the 90$ for the big bag, I do wish that this product was cheeper :( but I bought the big bag because my puppies are 5 weeks old now and I do have 8 of them so I was running out of the 14oz cans faster than I could buy them. When the 5lb bag came I was sad to find the bag looked like it had been sliced open with a knife and over half the product was missing/ poured out. I tested the cut and tried to tear it a little bit more (after I took the picture) to see if the cut would look different when torn rather than what I suspected what a slice and you clearly tell the difference between the teared part and the sliced part. I think it’s possible that their assembly line might have a sharp screw or piece of metal that inflicted the damage, but either way I was refunded so I’m quite happy with how things turned out! Hopefully the next bag will come intact!

I used this product during my last litter of puppies. It was absolutely fantastic for supplement, when mama dog was nearing the end of her nursing journey. It is very smooth mix as well, and the puppies absolutely loved it. It was also very good and effective to use in the puppy “mush” stage. A+++
