As with humans, a mother’s milk is the perfect food for newborn puppies and kittens. Nursing is a natural and beautiful process and anyone who has ever seen a litter nursing contentedly will attest to this. Young puppies and kittens have very high nutritional requirements for their extremely fast growth rates and high energy levels. In fact, eating and sleeping are the two major activities of the first two weeks of life! Puppies and kittens generally double their birth weight by the 8th or 10th day of life.
The first meal a puppy or kitten will have after birth is of colostrum, the first type of milk produced by the mother. This is a very important substance for puppies and kittens as colostrum contains antibodies and nutrients essential for the newborn animal’s nutrition as well as to protect them from infection. It is crucial that each puppy or kitten receives his/her share of colostrum so keep an eye on the smaller, less pushy animals in the litter at this time to make sure they get a chance.
Colostrum is only available to the litter for 24 hours after birth. Thereafter mature milk is produced by the mother for her offspring. Mature milk contains none of the immune factors that colostrum does but is the perfect source of all-round nutrition for puppies and kittens.
The natural way
Because the entire litter’s energy requirements must be met by the mother, lactation is a very nutritionally demanding time for your female dog or cat. A complete and balanced diet is very important and she will need between one and a half to three times more food than usual - as well as plenty of fresh water - while nursing.
Peace and quiet and a relaxing, secure environment are important, especially in the first few weeks and while milk supply is being established. Frequent visitors and handling of the young can be very stressful for the nursing mother and this can interfere with milk production, so keep visitors to a minimum and do not allow puppies and kittens to be picked up by unfamiliar people, especially if this distresses the mother.
Lactoll is a 100% safe and natural combination of herbal ingredients for optimizing colostrum and milk production in nursing pets, as well as providing a natural tonic for the nursing female dog or cat.
"Within days of giving Sheila your PetAlive LacToll her milk production had increased vastly and the pups seemed so much less frustrated and hungry! They are now all healthy and growing well. I will be giving this to Sheila as soon as her next litter is born to avoid the initial problems we had this time. Many Thanks!" Jacqui
"We have been breeding Rottweilers for many years now and though we have quite a good deal of experience, we had never found a solution to the problem of bitches with insufficient milk - especially with large litters. Knowing the advantages of puppies nursing 100% rather than supplementing with commercial milk products I was keen to find a natural way to increase milk production. Friends suggested your website and we were excited to try LacToll with our latest litter. I must say that I think it worked incredibly - we haven’t had such a well-fed and thoroughly healthy litter in years! I will certainly be giving your other products a try in the future!" Laura J.
"“On August 16th my little 4 pound Maltese went into labor. After being in labor for 4 hours, she went to the vet for a cesarean. During the surgery the veterinarian noticed she had no milk at all in her mammary glands. He told me that I would most likely be bottle-feeding the puppies. The surgery went very well and 2 healthy puppies were born. At home I bottle fed the babies. At the same time I ordered LacToll from Native Remedies with one day shipping. WOW! I used it as directed for one day. On the following day she was full of milk. Without LacToll, I know I would still be bottle feeding the puppies. LacToll works!! The veterinarian has now recommended it to clients in the same situation. Thank you Native Remedies!! I will continue to use your products."Mary J.

LacToll contains the following 100% natural ingredients:
Milk Thistle
(Silybum marianus) is most widely known for its positive effects on liver functioning and lactation. Milk Thistle is excellent for promoting the production of milk in nursing mothers and, due to its liver tonic properties, has also been shown to reduce the amounts of synthetic substances from the environment, like pollution and pesticides, in mothers’ milk.
Goat’s Rue
(Galega officinalis) is excellent for stimulating production and flow of milk for healthy lactation. Galega is also useful in protecting against infection and will help to prevent mastitis.
Fennel
(Foeniculum officinale) can increase the natural production of milk and has long been used to stimulate healthy lactation in nursing women and also in pets. Fennel is also an excellent digestive tonic and blood cleanser.
Borage
(Borago officinalis) increases milk production. This herb also contains soothing, anti-inflammatory ingredients that help recovery from whelping or queening and act as a tonic remedy for digestive and bowel functioning.

Get optimum results with regular use
While conventional medicine works by often treating just the symptoms, natural medicine strives to create holistic balance in the body to support systemic health, relieve ailments, and help prevent future disease. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, the natural ingredients in our remedies support overall health and functioning (rather than just suppressing symptoms).
Pets respond to natural medicine in different ways, some of our satisfied customers have reported observing immediate results in their pets while many others have reported observing optimal benefits taking effect within 3-6 weeks. To ensure your pet receives optimum results it is important to administer natural remedies as directed and remain consistent. You may also find that giving your pet a smaller maintenance dose is beneficial for ongoing support, many customers report using a regular maintenance dose as part of a preventative program for the continued health and well-being of their beloved animals.
How long until I see results?
Like all good tonics, continued use of LacToll will result in gradual improvement over time. However, one can expect to see a start of positive results within the first week, with continual improvement over a 3 - 6 week period.
How long will a bottle last?
One 50 ml bottle of Lactoll will last for 15 - 60 days, depending on the size and needs of your pet.
Tips for pet owners
Whelping or queening is a very stressful time for your pet. By all means, keep a careful eye on proceedings but don’t interfere unless you feel that a puppy or kitten may be in distress.
Most cats and dogs are excellent mothers. Their natural maternal instinct is usually all that’s needed to produce a happy litter.
Remember that some mothers may be very protective of their offspring, don’t be surprised if the new mother gives a warning growl or two when you come to ogle the new members of the family.
Puppies or kittens that are continuously crying are either hungry or cold.
If the mother is unable to feed for whatever reason, you will need to hand-raise the kittens or puppies. Newborns need frequent feedings with an appropriate milk substitute (so be prepared for many sleepless nights!).
Enjoy having puppies and kittens in the house. They’ll be lots of hard work but this is a rewarding experience, especially for young children.
Make sure that the homes you find for your puppies and kittens are suitable. Remind new owners that puppies and kittens turn into dogs and cats and that it is their responsibility to provide for their new furry companions.
