Description

Most dogs can whelp on their own, but sometimes, like humans, some dogs may have complications that can be dangerous to the mother or her puppies. Some dogs may try to eat the placenta as soon as it’s produced, making it difficult to count, unless you’re watching your dog constantly. Some dogs may give birth to one or two puppies quite quickly and then rest for a while before labour starts again. Her contractions should continue to get stronger until she begins to strain, ready to push out a puppy.

You might have a hard time finding some because a newborn puppy is often referred to as a whelp or whelping. Rub the puppy with a clean towel, or encourage mum to lick the puppy, to help them take their first breath. If your dog has been in labour for 24 hours and has more puppies to come, or is still having contractions, then you should contact your vet for advice. If you’re looking for a quick solution to taking care of your newborn puppies, then this whelping kit is the answer.Being prepared for every situation is the key to success when it comes to raising newborn puppies in a litter. Although serious whelping complications are rare, it doesn’t stop your first time from being stressful. A whelping box is a box that’s designed to keep puppies safe during birth and for several weeks afterwards as they grow and become more independent.

A microchip is a tiny computer chip that is inserted under the skin, usually between the shoulder blades. If the placenta isn’t passed straight away then it may break down and pass out when your dog goes to the toilet, around 24-48 hours later.

Contractions - Your dog will begin to have strong contractions and she will pant, sometimes quite heavily. How quickly this takes depends on the number of puppies she has and the strength of her contractions. If you do use a hot water bottle, make sure there is no way that the puppies can burn themselves on it and that it is wrapped in something to protect the puppies’ skin. In your whelping box, don’t use hay, wood shavings or straw, as these can damage the puppy’s skin and eyes. This method is especially useful if you are not able to keep track of which puppy belongs to which dam.
