Whelping Box Size, by Breed

We suggest that you measure the rectangular space occupied by your bitch when she is lying down, fully stretched out. Then add a few inches to each side for comfort. Remember to add an additional 4 inches on each side if you will be using rails.

Then compare that area to the inside dimensions of our boxes:

  • EZclassic 28x28: 27.5" x 27.5"
  • EZclassic 38x38: 38" x 38"
  • EZclassic 48x48: 48.5" x 48.5"
  • Fab System 3x3: 36" x 36"
  • Fab System 4x4: 47" x 47"
  • Fab System 4x6: 47" x 71"
  • Fab System "Whopper" 7x6: 82" x 71"

Consider the following when selecting a size for your whelping box:

  • The weight of the bitch
  • The size of the bitch
  • Number of puppies in the litter
  • Temperament of the bitch
******Use the table below as a general guide. Table may not reflect what is best for your bitch.
