What is a whelping box? - Newport Harbor Animal Hospital
A whelping box is a comfortable area that the female should be introduced to before she delivers her puppies. It should be large and roomy, with enough space for the mother to stand up and turn around, and it should have a clean, dry area for the puppies.
