Why Are Whelping Boxes So Important?

Animal Transit |Boxes Ltd • 22 February 2022

Should your dog be having puppies and showing signs of going into labour, they will need to be provided with a safe space for the pregnancy to take place. So how do whelping boxes help? Whelping boxes can be considered a vital component of the breeding process, as it provides a safe space for your dog to deliver their puppies. At Animal Transit Boxes, we hold the strong view that for the first few weeks of their life there needs to be a safe space where puppies receive extra attention and care. We have a variety of different whelping boxes which can help your puppies transition into life at home.

 

Here are just three reasons for investing in a whelping box.


Safety First

Primarily, a puppy whelping box holds significant importance when it comes to the safety of your puppies. How they are designed means that the puppies are kept away from the cold and safely contained which prevents any risk of crushing or smouldering by the mother. Whelping boxes have high walls to ensure that the puppies are kept inside. At Animal Transit Boxes, we are able to offer an array of different whelping pens to suit the needs of your dog and puppies. For instance, our XXL collapsible dog whelping box is fitted with clear polycarbonate, meaning that you are able to have full visibility of your puppies during whelping.


Less Stressful For You and Your Dog

One of the many benefits of using a whelping box is that it makes giving birth and caring for your dog less stressful. By having a whelping box, this will ensure that your dog will have a safe and secure place to give birth.


Creates A Hygienic Environment

If you were to opt for a cardboard box instead of a whelping box, this means that over time the box would deteriorate. Using a whelping box however can help contain the mess of a pregnancy, making it easier for you to clean up after your dog and her puppies. Our whelping boxes contain polypropylene which has a nonporous surface, meaning that no moisture or germs will be absorbed. As a result, this means that the whelping box can be easily cleaned with disinfectant. What sets our whelping boxes apart from the rest is that we have a collapsible whelping box design, which allows you to clean the base tray and leave the whelping box in excellent condition.
