Want to look after your dog as she gives birth?

Any caring owner would. One way to ensure she’s as comfortable as possible during the birth and immediately afterwards, is by using quality Whelping Boxes bought through a specialist supplier. Picking the perfect box isn’t difficult because a large selection of fine Whelping Boxes are available. If you are new to Whelping Boxes follow a few simple steps and you’ll soon have the right box for your bitch.

To begin, carefully consider the size of the Whelping Boxes that you require. Make sure the box that you settle on is big enough for your breed of dog.  If in doubt, measure your dog and choose a box that provides her with plenty of room. Once you are happy with the size of your whelping box fill it with a range of whelping accessories.

The finest of fleece

Want to provide your dog with a warm and welcoming environment for her pups? Think about buying a fleece lining for the whelping box. Luxurious linings are popular accessories inside Whelping Boxes and they are extremely comfortable. Carefully position a fleece lining within the confines of Whelping Boxes and your dog will instantly feel right at home. Great quality bedding material made from fleece helps to absorb fluids. Fleece is fully washable; you even chuck it in your washing machine on the right cycle, after removing it from Whelping Boxes.

Place other types of bedding materials under the fleece lining and they’ll help to soak up the worst of fluids. Special types of absorbent bedding pads are available to buy, or you can use newspaper if you want to save money on bedding for Whelping Boxes.

Puppies need warmth

You’ll do mums and their pups a great deal of good if you place fleece linings in their Whelping Boxes. However, fleece on its own doesn’t always provide enough heat; pups can be in danger of the extremities of cold. A good way to keep puppies warm in Whelping Boxes is to add a heat pad to the box. Heat pads nestle nicely upon fleece bedding and they run on low wattage so are fairly inexpensive to operate.

Suppliers recommend that only half of Whelping boxes are covered by heat pads, but that should be more than enough to provide additional warmth to tiny little puppies.

Give pups a great start in life and let their mums give birth inside the finest quality Whelping Boxes.
