Choosing the Right Tube Feeding Syringe Size for Puppies

For successful tube feeding, it’s ideal to have multiple ENFit® syringe sizes available. A puppy requires approximately 1 ml/cc of food per ounce (28.3g) of body weight per feed. For example, a 250g puppy will need about 8.8 ml (250g ÷ 28.3g) per feed. Start with a 10ml syringe for smaller puppies; a 20ml syringe is also recommended as they grow. Having various sizes on hand ensures you’re prepared for their changing needs.

For those new to tube feeding, remember these critical points:

• Never trim a feeding tube.
