Whelping Kit 

Things you should have prepared include the following:

 

Phone number for you vet and on call vet in case it is out of hours.

It’s a good idea to a friend or other family member available to call on if required.

If you do need to make a dash for the vets make sure you have some around for child care.

Keep the car with plenty of fuel in the last thing you want to have to do is refuel on the way.

....That’s the emergency part out of the way although everyone hopes not to have to go down that

route.

  A  whelping box , also known as a birthing box,  whelping pen and nesting box is used in order to protect the puppies after the whelping process is completed and during the early stages of life when they are most vulnerable.

Petnap Whelping Boxes

A whelping box, also called a nesting box, is where new born  puppies  will spend the first 20 days of their life. Designing to protect puppies during birth (whelping), it keeps them safely contained, protects them from the cold, and ensures they aren't crushed by their mother. THE POINT OF A WHELPING BOX ? A whelping box or whelping  bed  is a secure zone for your dog to give birth. It is a safe and ideal place for your pregnant dog to give birth. From reusable plastic whelping boxes to cardboard options, there are lots to choose from.
