The Canine Labor Room and Whelping Box Designs

Choose an area away from the excitement of the rest of the household. Make the place comfortable and convenient for both you and your dam. Some of the best places are cozy den areas as many delivering canine mothers prefer a place to nest and get cozy. Choose a spare room or a closet within a spare room, a corner of the basement or a garage are also good choices for home deliveries. Just be sure the place you choose is easily cleaned, handy and warm. Below is an example of a whelping box design.

Toy dog breeders often use a crate for the whelping area. You can also use a child's swimming pool for easy clean up.

Set up the whelping box area at least two weeks in advance. Take time to introduce the expecting mom to the whelping box area. Encourage her to sleep in the area. Provide her with cozy blankets and newspapers and let her mess it up however she pleases. Some dams like to tear up papers and will start scratching several weeks before the delivery. Allow her to do this in her place. The box you choose for delivery should be big enough for mother to stretch out at her full length, and roomy enough to hold the litter size you are expecting. Below is a example of wood whelping box. Wood boxes can be built to your particular specifications.

Have all the equipment you will need for the delivery already laid out nearby. You will need to be present. Some things to have on hand might be latex gloves, alcohol for disinfecting, a thermometer, petroleum jelly, a watch or clock to record births and the labor time, heating lamps or pads. Dental floss is good to use for tying cords if mom does not do this herself. Allow nature to take place as much as feasible as it is always best and mom does know better than you at this time. A baby scale is good to have to record the weight of babies when they are born and in the future.

Have some messy foods available after the delivery to feed the mom. Life's Abundance canned foods are a good choice. Pork and Venison is one I would choose:
