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.
