Overview

This Wagora whelping box measures 48 by 48 by 18 inches and is built from plastic PVC designed to be both waterproof and rustproof, which suits the repeated cleaning that comes with whelping a litter of large breed puppies.

It closes with a combination of hook and loop fasteners and snaps, and assembly is required to put it together rather than a pop-up design. The square shape and 18 inch walls are sized specifically for large breed dogs.

At $79.99, it costs more than fabric whelping options but reflects its more durable PVC build. With 384 ratings averaging 4.5 stars and about 200 units bought in the past month, it is one of the stronger performers among dedicated whelping boxes here.
