HOW TO BUILD A WHELPING BOX TO SAVE YOUR PUPPIES


Here is a very basic Whelping Box that is easy to make and will save the lives of your new born puppies.

  • Step 1: Cut the 4X8 piece of ply wood in half.
  • Step 2: Cut the 8 foot 2X4 into 8 pieces. each piece should be 1 foot long
  • Step 3: screw each foot long piece into every corner from the bottom of the 4X4 piece of ply wood. Each corner should look like it has an "L" shape on the bottom of it when finshed.
  • Step 4: Cut the remaining piece of ply wood into the following dimentions. 6 inches X 4 feet.
  • Step 5: Screw the 6 inches X 4 feet pieces of ply wood onto the "L" shape support pieces on all four sides. You should now have what looks to be a sand box turned upside down.
  • Step 6: Add screws through out the whelping box in all areas that need secured.
  • Step 7: Cut a square in the center of the 4X4 piece of ply wood leaving a 6 inch ledge that goes around the entire box.
  • STEP 8 OPTIONAL: Lay news paper down on the floor and put the box over top of it.
You are now finished with your whelping box. When the mother lays in this box the puppies will not be able to get smashed in the corners or sides of the box. They will have a tunnel to crawl through when the mom is laying down. Many puppies are killed when put in normal boxes or swimming pools because they get trapped behind the mom in the corners and get crushed. With this box your pups will not be able to get smashed when they crawl behind her.
