Whelping Boxes

To assemble, the lid is taken off the small and medium boxes, the walls are unfolded, stood in the box and lugs in the base are pushed through slots in the walls, the front 'flap' is folded down which forms the dam's entrance way. The corners of the waterproof sheet are then pinched together and folded towards each other on the outside of the formed tray. The tray is then slid down into the box which forms a waterproof base and also holds down the fixing lugs and the front flap. There are perforations below the front flap which can be torn down as the puppies get older so they can get out of the box. Pig rails for these boxes, if required and they rarely are for the small box and it depends on the breed of dog for the medium box come in sets of three and they are made of wooden doweling, 22 mm diameter. The doweling rails, slightly longer than the width of each side, are threaded through perforations in the walls. It's is better to slide from the inside out, pushing one side through a little more than required through one perforation, then sliding it back through the opposite perforation.

Another useful aid to whelping are our infra-red heat lamps which can be useful if puppies are in a cold location.

All boxes come with a 16 page booklet on whelping and kittening.

We have a lot of enquiries from the USA and whilst we do send units there, we would like a dedicated distributor. If you are interested e-mail us.
