Grober Pets - Puppy Gro Milk Replacer
Description
TL;DR: Grober Pets Puppy Gro Milk Replacer is a Canadian-made powdered formula for puppies aged 0–8 weeks who are orphaned, rejected, or need supplemental feeding. It mixes with warm water and is made for breeders, rescues, and new puppy caregivers who need a reliable alternative to canine milk.
When a puppy can't nurse from its mother, a purpose-built milk replacer is the safest way to support those critical first weeks. Grober Pets Puppy Gro is formulated for the nutritional needs of puppies during the 0–8 week window, before they transition to dog puppy food.

Who is it for?
This milk replacer is made for puppies who are orphaned, rejected by the dam, part of an oversized litter, or need supplemental feeding to thrive alongside nursing. It's a practical tool for breeders, foster families, and rescue organizations, as well as first-time caregivers raising a puppy from its earliest days.
Newborns are fragile at this dog puppy age, and steady nutrition matters long before those big dog puppy eyes are ready for solid food. If you're caring for multiple species, the Grober Pets - Kitten Gro Milk Replacer covers orphaned kittens, and the CartiKare - Dog & Cat Chews For Joints supports joint health as your dog grows. Multi-pet households welcoming a new puppy may also consider the Feliway - Classic Diffuser to help resident cats settle.
Feeding & use
Mix the powder with warm water according to the package instructions and feed at body temperature using a clean bottle or syringe sized to the puppy. Prepare fresh formula at each feeding and refrigerate any unused reconstituted milk as directed on the label.
Feeding frequency depends on age and weight — very young pups typically need small, frequent feedings around the clock, tapering as they grow. Consult your veterinarian for a schedule specific to your puppy, especially for newborns under two weeks of age.
How long should puppies stay on a milk replacer?
Puppy Gro is intended for puppies from birth through about 8 weeks of age, with gradual weaning onto dog puppy food usually starting around 3–4 weeks. Your veterinarian can confirm the right transition timing for your litter.
Available for same-day pickup at our North York, Toronto storefront, or ships Canada-wide.
