Yes, but this is not ideal. The puppy's mother produces the best milk for the puppy, as it is nutritionally balanced and has the immune system support that the puppy will need. However, in a pinch you could supplement the mother's milk with human infant formula milk, although this should be a choice of last resort.

∙ 9y agoInfant formula is made with the specific nutritional needs of the human infant in mind. Those needs are VERY different from the needs of a puppy. You should not feed puppies infant formula, although it will not kill them, it is not the of the proper nutritional value for a puppy, and will likely lead to digestive problems. I say it will not kill a puppy, but also that depends on their age. It is actually very likely to kill a puppy under 3 weeks of age. After that it gets to be more a matter of lactose intolerance type symptoms. Mild stuff. But under three weeks is a definite no no. If you'd like to use a home made puppy formula I think it uses yogurt and karo syrup and goat's milk among some other ingredients.

Puppies can start eating moistened puppy food at about three weeks. If they don't eat enough of it, you can supplement with formula.

What is the nutritional value of infant formula?
Well, the nutritional values are on the labels of the infant formula can. I can tell you that when a mother can not or chooses not to breast feed, they need to give their baby something, and infant formula is made with baby's nutritional needs in mind. Check out the labels on the cans, or take a look at the Store Brand Formula website for a nutritional label comparison with store brand formulas, and their much more expensive name brand counterparts!
