| A little about Petnap
We have been making cat and dog heat pads in the UK since 1973. We manufacture heated pet beds, heat mats, heater pads, cat heat mats, dog heat mats and heated dog and cat beds. We sell a wide range of whelping boxes and whelping kits. The whelping box is made from double walled corrugated cardboard. This whelping box also comes with whelping puppy rails and fleece bedding (as an option). Having a disposable whelping box avoids the potential problems of cross contamination as the box can be disposed over after the whelping. We make sure the whole thing is disposable including the puppy rails which are 22mm wooden dowelling cut to size.
When deciding on which size whelping box to use the best method is to actually measure the bitch. Measure her from nose to base of tail, add four inches to accomodate for the puppy rails and then select a box that will allow her to lay flat. For example if she measures 29 inches from nose to base of tail then add four, which gives you 33 inches and select the next size of box up, which will be 36 inch square. This will then give her enough room to lay flat in the box.
Getting a scan is always a good idea before you buy a box. You may find that your bitch is due to have a very large litter, or it may even be a phantom pregnancy, either way it is best to know before you select your box.
The Petnap whelping kit is designed to provide a range of the essential items you will require for the coming whelping. Rather than shop around a variety of suppliers for each item we have brought them all together in one pack. Each kit includes essential items such as: forceps, special scissors, bulb aspiraitors, puppy formula, even scales and a torch. In fact approximately 40 different items brought together in one kit.
Adding a petnap heat pad to your whelping box is also an excellent option to consider when caring for the new born pups. A heat pad can provide valuable warmth for the newborn pups and give mum a well earned rest. If you decide against a heat pad please make sure the room is kept warm at all times and away from draughts. New board pups cannot control their own body temperature and so rely on the bitch for heat, when she is not there they are dependant on you providing that warmth for them.
We have been making the Petnap metal heat pads in the UK since 1973 and currently have two sizes available. In the Autumn of 2009 we are looking to introduce an even larger size due to popular demand. If your looking for whelping box, heat pads or simply want to ring up for some advise, then we would love to hear from you. Simply ring us on 01273 588511 or email us at petnapltd@yahoo.co.uk. We are a family run business, friendly and helpful. Just ask for Mike or Nicky

The best way to be sure of the right size is to measure the mum-to-be from nose to base of tail. Add 4 inches to this if you are going to use puppy rails, and then select a box that will allow her to lay flat along one side.
