Overview
Wagora's whelping box is a 48 by 48 by 18 inch PVC enclosure for large-breed dogs, built to be waterproof and rustproof for use indoors or outdoors, with hook-and-loop and snap closures and assembly required out of the box.
Despite the category label on this listing pointing to dog crates, the title, materials and dimensions describe a whelping pen for a nursing mother and her litter, not a travel or containment crate. PVC construction and a waterproof build suit the mess that comes with whelping better than fabric or wire options would.
- 48" x 48" x 18" footprint
- Waterproof, rustproof PVC panels
- Hook-and-loop and snap closures
- Assembly required
Who it's for
Breeders or owners preparing a large-breed dog for whelping who need a washable, waterproof pen rather than a standard wire or fabric crate.
Strengths and trade-offs

Performance notes
The PVC panels and hook-and-loop plus snap closures are built to hold up against the fluid and mess of whelping and be wiped down rather than laundered, and the box works indoors or moved outdoors depending on the weather.
