What is a whelping box, and why is it important?
A whelping box provides a secure and clean space for a mother dog to give birth and care for her puppies. It helps contain the puppies safely and offers an easy-to-clean surface, ensuring a hygienic environment for the new family.
What features should I look for in a whelping box?
Key features include easy-to-clean surfaces, durable materials, safety rails to prevent the mother from accidentally harming the puppies, and temperature control mechanisms to maintain a warm environment.
How can I maintain the ideal temperature in the whelping area?
Utilizing products like the Accu Temp Whelping Nest, which can be heated with propane, electricity, or hot water, allows for precise temperature control. Pairing it with a digital temperature controller ensures the nest stays within the ideal range for puppy health.
How can I ensure the whelping area remains hygienic?
Regular cleaning of the whelping box and accessories is essential. Using easy-to-clean materials like stainless steel and removable carpets facilitates maintaining a sanitary environment for the mother and puppies.
