How To Care For A Delivering Dog

When your dog is expecting puppies very soon, make sure you have the following: a whelping box, lots of warm blankets, towels, and a heating lamp. Make sure that your whelping box is in a warm, peaceful and quiet place. When your dog goes into labor, make sure that she is in the whelping box. When her first pup comes out, take the puppy, put it on the towel on your hands and rub the puppy until the puppy starts crying. Once the puppy cries, put the puppy right back with its mother. Once all the puppies are born, take out the dirty newspapers and put in the blankets. Make sure that the heating lamp is on and check on the dog from time to time.
