I use a heating pad specifically for dogs and it keeps a constant temperature around 100 degrees. I use bottomless whelping boxes that my husband build. I put down a pad, then the heating pad, and then another pad on top of that. I set the whelping box on top of that so the heating pad is just covering half of the whelping box. This way the mom can't mess up all the padding and the pups can crawl on off the heating pad as needed. I use sheets and bed pad for the bedding. |
