Special offer on Beaphar Lactol products



For a limited time only Beaphar is providing retailers with the chance to order a Beaphar Lactol Mixed Box. The idea of the offer is to give pet owners choice and variety while the pet shop doesn't have to order excess stock.

Each Lactol Mixed Box includes:

  • 3 Kitty Milk
  • 6 Feeding Sets
  • 2 Feeding Syringes
  • 2 Spare Teats
  • 1 x 1kg Lactol
  • 1 x 1.5kg Lactol
  • 3 x 250g Lactol
  • 3 x 500g Lactol
  • 3 x Puppy Training Pads (x7)
  • 30 Consumer Leaflets: A guide to hand rearing

Beaphar marketing manager Amy Hepworth said: "Beaphar Lactol has been produced for over 100 years – it was originally known under the Sherley’s brand – and has saved the lives of countless young animals.

"Lactol stands out from the crowd for a number of reasons. It is made from whey powder, rather than skimmed milk powder, therefore containing less lactose, and less likely to cause diarrhoea.

"It undergoes an ultra filtration process, concentrating the proteins and further reducing the lactose levels. Produced using a slow drying process, fragile protein structures are preserved, allowing more protein to be utilised by growing animals.

"All of these factors, coupled with Lactol’s superior amino acid content, make it a cut above the rest. With added vitamins and minerals, Lactol provides a complete milk replacement feed. Beaphar Lactol is available in 250g, 500g, 1kg and 1.5kg pots.

"Kittens, however, have slightly different needs. Enter Beaphar Kitty Milk: the perfectly tailored replacement milk feed for kittens. Formulated in line with the most recent scientific advances in feline nutrition, this highly palatable feed provides kittens with all the necessary vitamins, minerals, proteins and oils that they need for the very best possible start in life.

"Kitty Milk contains a higher protein level, and much higher levels of vitamin A. It also contains higher levels of Vitamin C, which is an antioxidant, and makes cats and kittens less likely to suffer from cystitis and bladder stones. Choline is added, which is essential for growth and development at cellular level. Kitty Milk also contains Taurine, to help maintain a healthy heart and good vision."

A range of feeding accessories is also available, including feeding syringes, a feeding set (bottle, teats and cleaning brush), and replacement teats.
