Petnap

Having started in 1973 long before the internet was even thought about, we were the first company in the UK and beyond to offer whelping suppliers to the everyday customer. We have a total of 5 warehouses dotted around the UK (mostly in the south of England) with large stock reserves to meet our customer’s needs. Our company has become so thought after and popular that others home abroad have imitated many of our products, some even using the same name, be sure to know that there is only one real Petnap.

Petnap Whelping Box

A whelping box, also known as a birthing box, whelping pen and nesting box is used in order to protect the puppies after the whelping process is completed and during the early stages of life when they are most vulnerable. The whelping box keeps them safely contained away from the cold, most whelping boxes also contain rails or poles around the lower edges of which we get asked all the time what these are for and the short answer is they stop the mother crushing the puppies up against the sides of the box which could cause the puppies to become suffocated as well as being crushed.

At petnap we sell 2 types of nesting boxes, Disposable Cardboard and Reusable Plastic whelping boxes. Both of these boxes will cope with the duration of the whelping process normally around 6 to 8 weeks before they then move on to a more suitable environment like a play pen as they become ever more adventurous. We stock 5 sizes in both types giving you plenty of choice as also have heavy duty plastic versions in our large 2 sizes.
