Do I Need to Put a Heating Pad in The Box for New Pups??

Since my mini Dach is so close to having her pups, I’ve already made her a safe and comfortable place for her to give birth. But, after I clean up the mess when the pups are born and replace the blankets, do I need to keep a heating pad in there with them so they won’t get cold or will they be okay without one? We keep our thermostat set on around 75 degrees in the summer so it’s not cold in here or hot to us humans, but would it be cold to newborn pups?

As long as mom stays with them, they won’t need a heating pad. It would actually surprise me if she *didn’t* want to stay with them constantly, but if she doesn’t, I would suggest a hot water bottle rather than a heating pad.

Another thing to remember… Make sure that the balnkets you use for the puppies are not too large or cumbersome. Tiny puppies have a terrible habit of getting tangled and lost underneath blankets, and I find myself digging them out every hour or so during the first few days. I try to stick with small sheets (like crib sheets) so that I know they can at least breathe easily through the material. Towels also work well.

And like others have said, the puppies might squeak and fuss a little, but it’s really not that bad if mom stays with them. (If someone *does* let out a yelp, it’s best to check on them in case mom accidentally sat on someone…) I spend the first few nights on the couch by the whelping bed until I know that everyone is doing well.

Again, best of luck to you, and I hope everything goes smoothly!
