What to do when you’re getting your litter?

Is it your first time? If you are not yet familiar with this process, you will need some extra ideas to assist you. Here are a few things that you might find interesting.

Before Birth:

Prepare a box or anything soft that the little puppies can lie down on. Make sure it is a comfortable size for your dog and there is enough space for the puppies as well.

Place it in a nice and quiet room with a blanket or anything that can cover the top of the box. If you are using a mat, then I suggest you make a small tent. Dogs would like to feel safe and since you covered it all up, it would feel like she is in a den.
Put your female dog’s favorite types of food in a bowl near the box and let her explore to find a place to give birth.
