Why Goat Milk Is An Amazing Milk Replacer for Puppies & Kittens

March 5, 2021 by Susan Bewley

Have you ever used a milk replacer for puppies and kittens? As someone who has rescued many animals throughout my life, nothing was more rewarding than helping nurse orphaned kittens and puppies. In almost all the situations, the most stressful part of dealing with newborns was finding a milk supply. Unless a rescue specialized in neonatal care, they likely don’t have an extensive supply of milk on hand. Since little newborns are supposed to have their mother’s milk, it is hard to balance their needs. One of the first mistakes many people make is giving kittens or puppies cows’ milk, which is very upsetting for their little tummies. Luckily, a near-perfect milk replacer exists for puppies and kittens alike – goat milk!

Goat Milk as a Milk Replacer

For years, goat milk has been referred to as the “universal mother’s milk” as its nutritional content and balance can suit a variety of animals.  While a mother’s milk is always the best option, we all know that sometimes it isn’t an option – sometimes a mother does not survive,  or is unable to produce enough milk. A milk replacer is necessary in times like this, and the next best thing to a mother’s milk is goat milk.

Part of what makes goat milk so amazing is that it is easy for most animals to digest because the milk’s fat and protein structure form smaller curds in the stomach than other milks. These proteins make it far easier for baby animals to digest and enable rapid energy absorption, crucial for baby animals. Cow’s milk, which contains Alpha S1 casein, has been shown in studies to cause tummy upset not just in kittens and puppies, but humans too.

In humans, this is lactose intolerance. On the other hand, Goat’s milk is high in Alpha S2 casein and has been shown to have hypoallergenic value, making it easier to digest, avoids loose stool (which can dehydrate infant animals), and has a creaminess that baby animals love.

It also helps that goat milk is naturally nutritionally superior as a milk replacer compared to cows’ milk, typically containing around 18% more calcium, 43% more potassium, 40% more magnesium, and 104% more vitamin A.

Why We Prefer Tailspring

When it comes to finding goat milk for nursing pets, the best option is Tailspring! Created by Meyenberg (America’s favorite goat milk brand), Tailspring is made using 100% human-grade ingredients and is the only brand with only a goat milk base. Their formulas are fortified with essential amino acids, fats, carbs, and vitamins to promote healthy development and overall health. It also has no preservatives, making it the cleanest milk replacer on the market!

To guarantee that both their puppy formula and kitten formula meet each species’ need, they also consulted with a neonatal pet nutritionist with over 30 years of experience. Creating these balanced formulas is extremely important since cats and dogs have different nutritional needs. Along with being approved by the American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) as human-grade, it is also manufactured, packed, and stored following human-grade regulations.  With both a powder and liquid form, caregivers have convenience and peace of mind that they are giving the best to help their kittens or puppies thrive!

Where to Purchase TailSpring Milk Replacer

Want to know what I love the most about Tailspring? They make purchasing milk replacer for kittens and puppies so easy, with a variety of options. I highly recommend their liquid milk replacer for those who are just getting started, which is available for kittens and puppies. For a large litter or shelter that may be dealing with many baby animals, you may want to consider going with a powdered formula for kittens and puppies (especially since they will later be adding a bulk bag too).

Now that I have Tailspring’s goat milk replacer in hand, I feel ready for spring and helping any little animal in need!
