What should I put on the bottom?
One of the biggest risks with whelping is the mother lying on top of a puppy and killing it. This could happen either when the mother is lying on a pup against the side walls (hence the crush rail around the sides), or a puppy sneaking UNDER the bedding, so the mum accidentally lies on top and crushing it.
So we believe the safest way to lay the bottom is:
- Firstly lay something waterproof, like a piece of plastic sheet, tarp or vinyl flooring. If you are going to use the whelping box more than once, we recommend using vinyl flooring. They only cost around $20 a metre at Bunnings (the rolls are usually 2m wide). They sit smooth and flush on the floor, will not move or slide around, are very durable and very easy to clean. Cut the piece a bit larger than the box, have at least 10cm overhang on each side.
- Secondly, place your vet bedding on top of waterproof layer. The bedding should also be a couple centremetres bigger than the box (all our whelping box bedding are cut this way, so you won't have to order a size up), so the weight of the whelping box will hold down the sides of the bedding and all the edges are OUTSIDE of the whelping box. Puppies will not be able to sneak under the bed this way. If you are using an electric heat pad, it should be placed under the vet bedding so the puppies cannot chew on it. Finally the actual whelping box goes on top of everything.

Would recommend
By: Daven on 3 September 2024Googled whelping box and came across Vebo pet supplies. I generally read the reviews as that is always a good indication of products. All positive reviews! Was happy and ordered. Very quick, recieved text message updates and putting together the box was very easy for someone that can get frustrated easily. Would recommend Vebo based on my experience and satisfaction
Exactly what I wanted
By: Bree on 22 July 2024Great product. Came super fast. It was easy to put together and it’s super easy to clean. Absolutely love it!
10/10
By: Sheridan on 17 June 2024Best whelping box ever! Heavy enough to hold down the mat but still light enough for us to move around, choosing whether or not we have an entrance made of one, two or three pieces high has made it so handy to keep the puppies contained as they get bigger but still allow for mumma to jump in and out when she needs to. It’s super spacious and easy to clean! It was pricey but was delivered pretty quickly and it’s definitely reusable so I give it a solid 10/10
Perfect for big dogs and big litters!
By: Teeyana on 14 June 2024We just had our maiden doberman litter and wanted something we could use again in the future, but that was easy to clean and pack away when not in use. We ordered this and it arrived quickly. Lucky because we put it up and about 4 days later is when our litter was born! Our girl settled into the whelping box perfectly. She had 14 births but 11 live puppies and I love the inner pipe that stops her from squishing them because she is a big girl and this happened a few times. It was so easy to put together. It’s very light but well constructed — there’s been many times our girl was leaning more toward the side and pushed the box but it hasn’t ever fallen apart or made weaker when she does this. I’m very happy with the whelping box, and also the messages from ave I confirming it arrived on time. We also ordered the mat and the heat pad and they are so easy to use with the box. I’d highly recommend this whelping box if you are breeding or expecting your first litter.
