  • 1.  To Use a Miracle Nipple Knock-Off, Or To Play It Safe?

    Posted 04-12-2023 09:20 AM

    As I'm sure many of us are, I'm currently working on my program's budget for FY23/24 and I'm trying to keep costs as low as humanly possible. I found a Miracle Nipple knock-off brand through Amazon that is half the cost, but I'm nervous about possibly wasting my money/underbudgeting if they aren't as good/don't work as intended. Does anyone have any nuggets of knowledge/recommendations for specific brands OTHER than Miracle Nipples that are just as effective and long-lasting?  Specifically the "mini" size for kittens. The specific brand I found was "Puppy Know". Reviews feel good but there are only about 10 or so comments sharing experiences, so not a huge pool to get a great feel of the product.

    I have used both with the same level of success. I look for what will fit on the syringe or bottle I want to use.

    Here is the package I have of the off-brand ones we most recently purchased along with the common PetAg bottle I like to use after graduating from syringes (and the off brand nipples fit on top of that bottle).
