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.
If you’re looking for a place for your dog mom to raise her pups in comfort and safety, look no further than the EZS Sloped Bottom Whelping Bed. These whelping beds are equipped with all your pups need to stay healthy and happy as they grow up.
When puppies are born, they are delicate and susceptible to sickness. It’s important to keep them at a consistently warm temperature, especially in the first two weeks of their life. You should find a balance between too warm and too cold. You don’t want your pups to overheat, but you also don’t want them to get too cold. Finding this balance is greatly helped by a whelping bed.
Our whelping beds have a sloped bottom that helps the pups stay in the center. This part of the bed is where it is warmest and most protected. If the pups were pushed towards the edges, there would be a potential for suffocation or neglect.
Our whelping bed comes with safety rails to ensure your pups remain contained in the space while the mom gets an opportunity to get some space from them and relieve herself with some fresh air.
Our sloped bottom whelping beds are heated with either electricity or hot water. You get to choose which of these heating options fits your needs the best. Whichever one you choose, your pups are sure to be kept warm and comfortable no matter the weather outside.
