Nursing and lactation in dogs and cats

As with humans, a mother’s milk is the perfect food for newborn puppies and kittens. Nursing is a natural and beautiful process and anyone who has ever seen a litter nursing contentedly will attest to this. Young puppies and kittens have very high nutritional requirements for their extremely fast growth rates and high energy levels. In fact, eating and sleeping are the two major activities of the first two weeks of life!  Puppies and kittens generally double their birth weight by the 8th or 10th day of life.

The first meal a puppy or kitten will have after birth is of colostrum, the first type of milk produced by the mother. This is a very important substance for puppies and kittens as colostrum contains antibodies and nutrients essential for the newborn animal’s nutrition as well as to protect them from infection. It is crucial that each puppy or kitten receives his/her share of colostrum so keep an eye on the smaller, less pushy animals in the litter at this time to make sure they get a chance.

Colostrum is only available to the litter for 24 hours after birth.  Thereafter mature milk is produced by the mother for her offspring. Mature milk contains none of the immune factors that colostrum does but is the perfect source of all-round nutrition for puppies and kittens.

The natural way

Because the entire litter’s energy requirements must be met by the mother, lactation is a very nutritionally demanding time for your female dog or cat. A complete and balanced diet is very important and she will need between one and a half to three times more food than usual - as well as plenty of fresh water - while nursing.

Peace and quiet and a relaxing, secure environment are important, especially in the first few weeks and while milk supply is being established. Frequent visitors and handling of the young can be very stressful for the nursing mother and this can interfere with milk production, so keep visitors to a minimum and do not allow puppies and kittens to be picked up by unfamiliar people, especially if this distresses the mother.

What is LacToll?

LacToll is a 100% safe and natural combination of herbal ingredients for the support of colostrum and milk production in nursing pets, as well as providing a natural tonic for the nursing female dog or cat.

How long until I see results?

Like all good tonics, continued use of LacToll will result in gradual improvement over time. However, one can expect to see a start of positive results within the first week, with continual improvement over a 3 - 6 week period.

Tips for pet owners

• Whelping or queening is a very stressful time for your pet.  By all means, keep a careful eye on proceedings but don’t interfere unless you feel that a puppy or kitten may be in distress.
• Most cats and dogs are excellent mothers.  Their natural maternal instinct is usually all that’s needed to produce a happy litter.
• Remember that some mothers may be very protective of their offspring, don’t be surprised if the new mother gives a warning growl or two when you come to ogle the new members of the family.
• Puppies or kittens that are continuously crying are either hungry or cold.
• If the mother is unable to feed for whatever reason, you will need to hand-raise the kittens or puppies. Newborns need frequent feedings with an appropriate milk substitute (so be prepared for many sleepless nights!).
• Enjoy having puppies and kittens in the house.  They’ll be lots of hard work but this is a rewarding experience, especially for young children.
• Make sure that the homes you find for your puppies and kittens are suitable.  Remind new owners that puppies and kittens turn into dogs and cats and that it is their responsibility to provide for their new furry companions.
