The whelping dog exhibits obvious contraction of abdomen. Once the fetus is expelled, the dog by itself bites umbilical cord and opens up the amniotic sac. If not, break up the amniotic sac and clean the mouth of pup. Most of the times, once in 30 to 40 or 60 minutes, every puppy is delivered.

Dog-whelping box
Dog- whelping box should be free from any foreign bodies and with no pointed objects inside the box. If so, they will harm the straining females under whelping. Don’t spray any chemical inside the dog-whelping box because the newborn pups cannot open eyes immediately after birth and rely mainly on olfactory senses to approach nipples of bitch. The smell of chemical agent may interfere with the olfactory sense of the pups, which may discourage the puppies to approach the female in whelp for feeding.

Whelping pen, barrier, lighting facilities for causing thermal changes in the bedding of the whelping pen or space etc are the important accessories for the dog whelping supply. However, one has to go through Internet based information on these items for the female in whelp.

Whelping chart may be prepared depending on the date of breeding and it may help to remember the date of probable whelping in the female dog. The female in whelp is to be carefully dealt.
