So we have been using Ebilac Puppy formula to feed our pups.  And the part that sucks is that almost all of it we get is bad.  We had to have cleaned out all the Harrisburg pet stores of the Esbilac – more than half of which were bad!!  So we ordered 2,  5lbs bags from our vet, and it comes directly from the manufacture… guess what… that was bad to!  That was the worst we have gotten.  I called Petag and left a message for them to call me back.  No response.  Not really a surprise.  What would have happened if we would have fed our pups this bad formula…  Would Petag cover the vet cost… probably not!  I don’t know what is going on with their puppy formula but everyone should really be careful when using the Esbilac, make sure it is good before you feed it to your pups. 

But… all is not lost.  I talked to our vet and he told me of the “Leerburg Puppy Formula”.  So we got the ingredients to make that (I will include the recipe after this Post).  Dave ran to Wal-mart at 10:00pm because we had no other option… None of the Esbilac we have is any good.  It is actually going to be cheaper to feed the Leerburg Formula, and Dave and I feel it is actually probably healthier for the pups because it is all fresh ingredients.  The Puppy’s really do seem to enjoy eating the new formula.  The pups are averaging 4 – 5oz of the new formula. 

When we get time we will be devoting a whole page on our website about bottle feeding Great Dane puppies.  It is so hard to find anything out there on the web about bottle feeding Great Dane pups so we want to share what we have experienced while bottle feeding. 

Please visit Leerburg’s website for the recipe of making the Puppy Formula.
