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:
- Classic Value 2828: 27" x 27" (while supplies last)
- Classic Value 3838: 36.5" x 36.5" (while supplies last)
- Classic Value 4848: 46" x 46" (while supplies last)
- 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
