TGIF Foldable Whelping Box
Create a secure, organized space for your dog and her newborn puppies with the handcrafted TGIF Foldable Whelping Box. This reusable box is designed for small- to medium-size mother dogs and provides approximately 14.4 square feet of interior floor space.
What Is a Whelping Box?
A whelping box—also called a birthing box, nesting box, whelping den, or whelping pen—is an enclosed area prepared for a mother dog to give birth and care for her puppies during their first weeks.
The walls help keep puppies contained in one designated area, while the included pig rails create additional space around the inside perimeter. A whelping box does not replace supervision, temperature monitoring, appropriate bedding, or veterinary guidance, but it gives breeders and dog owners a more controlled space for monitoring the mother and her litter.
Regular Whelping Box Specifications
Exterior footprint: Approximately 48″ × 48″
Usable interior: Approximately 45.5″ × 45.5″
Interior floor area: Approximately 14.4 square feet
Standard wall height: Approximately 24″
Construction: Four removable wall panels
Material: Durable ¾″ plywood
Recommended dog size: Primarily small- to medium-size mother dogs
Pig rails: Included
Floor: Fitted plywood base included
Customization: Taller walls may be available upon request
Because every dog rests differently, measure your dog while she is lying fully stretched on her side and compare that measurement with the usable interior dimensions before ordering.
Collapsible, Flat-Panel Construction
“Foldable” describes the way this box collapses into separate flat pieces. The panels do not remain connected and fold on hinges. Instead, the interlocking panels come apart and can be stacked for storage after the puppies have outgrown the box.
This makes the TGIF Whelping Box especially useful for breeders and dog owners planning more than one litter. It can be cleaned, disassembled, stored, and reassembled when it is needed again. Always inspect the panels, grooves, hardware, floor, and rails before each use.
Included Pig Rails
Pig rails create a buffer around the inside walls, giving puppies additional space near the perimeter when the mother lies down or changes position. They can help reduce the risk of a puppy becoming trapped against a wall, but they do not eliminate risk or replace regular supervision.
Depending on your dog, preferences, and budget, the included rails may be made from:
PVC
Wood 2×3s
Wood 2×4s
Contact Inspired by Tyson before ordering if you need help selecting an appropriate rail style and clearance.
Included Floor and Optional Easy-Clean Surface
A fitted plywood base is included and covers the box’s interior floor space. Customers can place their preferred whelping pads or suitable bedding over this base.
An optional finished flooring layer can also be installed over the plywood to create a smoother surface for routine wiping and bedding changes. Ask about availability and pricing when ordering.
Remove used bedding as needed, clean the surfaces with a product suitable for the selected materials, and allow everything to dry completely before replacing the bedding. Follow your veterinarian’s recommendations for bedding, temperature, and newborn-puppy care.
Is This the Right Size?
This regular model is intended primarily for small- to medium-size mother dogs. If your dog needs considerably more room, see the TGIF Large Foldable Whelping Box.
