Benefits of Colostrum
Colostrum is the first milk your dog received from his mother. It provides newborn puppies and kittens with substances called antibodies, which are needed for protection during the first few months of life. Colostrum is important to help maintain the health and normal functioning of the immune system, which is the body's natural defense against disease and infection.
