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.

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.

Our portable whelping box has a slanted floor that keeps the pups in the center of the box where it’s the warmest and safest. If the floor wouldn’t be slanted, the pups would tend to wander to the edges where it’s colder. The higher edges give mom a place to stay cooler and avoid the risk of overheating.
An Electric EZS Portable Whelping Box is equipped with a built-in electronic thermostat. This makes it easy to keep the pups warm and cozy without running the risk of suffocation from make-shift heating pads. Using a portable whelping box also helps avoid the risk of fire that comes with using an overhead heat lamp.
The body of these portable whelping boxes is made of stainless steel and is built with hand-tightening nuts. The washable mat on the floor is easily removable for easy cleaning. All you need to do to maintain your portable whelping box is to wipe down the stainless steel every day and power wash the entire box and mat between litters. This will keep bacteria and bad smells from building up and your pups healthy!
