Doggiema Puppy Feeder Puppy Milk Feeder Puppy Nursing Station Puppy feeders for Multiple Puppies Puppy Milk replacer Dongdong pet S Size Bowl (Toy/Small Puppy)

I did not have high hopes for this product at all. So many puppy feeders are just junk. They leak too much or not enough flow, they fall apart or don't work at all. Not this one! This one works great for my foster pups. They have no mama dog so this is what I got for them and they are doing great. Pros - easy to clean, good moderate flow - puppy controls flow, soft and realistic feeling, milk inside of it stays warm. Cons - the puppies get really excited and knock it off the stand sometimes and then the lid pops off and spills the milk. I really don't have any other cons at the moment. Some tips though - you can't just put it out and set the pups in front of it and walk away. You have to guide them and stay with them in case they pop off of it. In other words, it's still hands on. You have to "train" them on it. It helps to pull them back a little at first until milk flows, then you can let them do their thing. I put one puppy on at a time until they're latched. I just watch them and they will fall off on their own when they're full. I have five pups so whichever is full first, I put the last one on. If you try to do all at once, it will be chaos and just make a huge mess. Be patient and stick with it. My pups were using it successfully day one and they're just over a week old. I put the feeder on the stand so it's about 2 inches off the ground. This feeder has helped reduce frustration among the pups and went from individual feedings that took well over an hour and a half to everyone fed and cleaned up in less than 30-40 minutes and NO screaming pups while they are hungry and waiting for their turn. Again, raising bottle babies is not an easy task and even though this makes life easier, it's still hands on!!

Its made of silicone which makes it soft, but that also makes it impossible to drill a pathway through the 'nipples'. The holes are way too small to let any liquid through. They give you a small tool that you are supposed to use to expand the holes so liquid can flow. Its a thin file. Like a needle but instead of the sides being smooth, it is a fine grit diamond file.While testing it over and over I could barely suck any liquid through it. I mean just a few drops. If I cant do it a kitten certainly cant do it. I even tried a small thin drill which ended up catching the silicone and shredding a small hole through it. That one worked a little but then would just keep dripping.I just gave up after a week of trying. Momma kitty just kept eating pretty much all the time to produce enough milk, until we were able to wean them onto kitty food.I modify things to make them work the way I like all the time. I never got this one to work at all.Good luck to anyone that tries.

If you're reading this because you're not sure about buying this product, I seriously, SERIOUSLY encourage you to ignore the bad reviews and purchase it.I rescue orphaned puppies. I've tried a number of other bottles/feeders, and this (small size) is the BY FAR the best. Prevents aspiration pneumonia from inhaling milk — puppies control the rate of milk, and you never have to try to guess the right rate to depress a syringe. The soft silicone and shape allow puppies to latch on really well. If your pup is having trouble and keeps letting go, gently hold their head in place. Make sure their tongue is under the nipple, not above it.FLOW PROBLEMS: pull on the nipple and see if milk beads at the tip (it should bead but not pour out). Switch to a different nipple if one isn't working. Every time you clean it (boil in water or use a baby bottle sterilizer), press a thumb on the inside to squirt water through the nipple. If flow is still not improved after that, you can widen the nipple hole by poking a stick in it.Caution: I do not recommend feeding more than one puppy at once. You can't tell how much milk they each get. DO NOT fill the bowl up and let puppies drink as much as they want — they will drink way too much and hurt themselves.This product is literally a lifesaver and deserves 5/5 stars. (Note: I have only used the small size)

Puppies 4 never would use. Ideas great but waste of money. To be fair very well made just they didn’t take to it. 3 stars is for quality!
