What is Beaphar Lactol Infant Formula for Kittens used for?
For proper development, kittens need a healthy, balanced diet. To meet your kitten’s nutritional and energy needs, Beaphar has developed Lactol, a formula milk for unweaned kittens. The formula is rich in protein and contains other nutrients essential for the body.
The formula for this formula milk for unweaned kittens has been enhanced with DHA to closely mimic a mother cat’s natural milk. This milk contains all the nutrients essential for the growth of young animals. This kitten milk contains minerals, vitamins, and trace elements that support proper bodily function. Lactol also contains taurine, an amino acid known to improve heart function and promote visual acuity. The entire formula has been designed to support your cat’s vitality, from birth through adulthood, because proper nutrition in kittenhood ensures good health in adulthood.
This formula has been specially developed to replace a mother’s milk for newborn and orphaned kittens, from birth through weaning (0–2 months). Thanks to a composition rich in highly digestible proteins, high-quality fats, and essential fatty acids, it supports balanced growth and optimal development. Enriched with DHA ( , docosahexaenoic acid), this formula contributes to healthy brain and vision development while strengthening the nervous system. Its content of vitamins A, B6, B12, C, and D helps stimulate the immune system, promoting greater resistance to infections.
This milk is not only intended for orphaned kittens: it also provides valuable nutritional support for pregnant or nursing queens to meet their increased nutritional needs during the reproductive period. It can also be given to sick or convalescing adult cats when a gentle, easily digestible, and high-energy diet is needed for their recovery.
This milk substitute therefore providescomplete, balanced, and easily digestible nutrition, ensuring that young kittens and fragile animals get off to a strong start and grow up healthy.
We also offer Beaphar’s malt-based anti-hairball paste for cats at the best price in our online pharmacy.
How to Use This Formula Milk for Kittens Correctly?
Preparation instructions: Add the Lactol powder to warm (not boiling) water and stir until completely dissolved. Let it cool until the mixture is lukewarm (close to body temperature, about 38°C). Older animals sometimes prefer to drink Lactol cold.
The prepared milk can be stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours and must be warmed before use for young animals (to about 38°C, body temperature). Ensure the animal has access to fresh, drinkable water.
Amount to dilute: Add the contents of 7 measuring spoons (approximately 4.5 g per spoon) to 100 ml of warm water.
Recommended daily amount: The amount varies depending on the animal’s age, size, and breed. It is therefore recommended to feed Lactol on demand. Each kitten should be weighed regularly to ensure it is gaining weight and growing properly. One liter of prepared Lactol milk contains approximately 1,250 kcal.
