Developed by the late Dr. Hargett, D.V.M., M.D., to help combat losses in pups during the first critical few days following whelping. Just place in food four to five days before bitch whelps and ten days thereafter. Contains five proven ingredients to aid the female in providing a clean, healthy quantity of milk. Sodium acetate and potassium citrate as buffering agents that neutralize acidity. Calcium gluconate for milk production. Lactose milk sugar for energy. And thiamine hydrochloride, a crystalline Vitamin B1 supplement which overcomes neuritis of pregnancy due to dietary deficiency. Milkade has been proven on females that had never raised a pup due to poisonous acidity or lack of milk and that other alkalis and mineral vitamin supplements did not correct. One 2 oz bottle of milkade mixed with a pint of water is sufficient for one litter of puppies.
