Raven will have her puppies<\/a> in less than one week and the question remains: What supplies do you need before your dog has a litter of puppies? Do you have a whelping checklist<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mother was a huge fan of checklists when we were kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a know-it-all youngster, I always thought I could keep everything well organized in my head, but now that I’m older, wiser, and…eh hmm…more forgetful…I find a ton of value in the “checklist”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we’re going to put together our whelping checklist so we can be sure we don’t forget any of the important supplies needed when whelping a litter of puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n

What Supplies Do You Need Before Your Dog Has A Litter Of Puppies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This time last year I was running around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to figure out what supplies I needed before Raven had her puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, this year I’m more like a bear covered with honey being chased by a swarm of bees. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Tip:<\/strong> This time last year we weren’t sure what we needed for whelping puppies. We researched the internet and found this deluxe pro whelping kit on Amazon<\/a> that worked out really well with Raven’s first litter of puppies. However, read on because you need more before whelping your first litter of pups.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to think I learned a thing or two since Raven’s first litter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t have a whelping checklist for litter number one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, I researched the internet, watched YouTube videos, chatted with breeders, and hoped I had all the information I’d need to help Raven deliver her first pups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucky for us everything went flawlessly! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time around I’m putting together a whelping checklist to make sure I don’t forget anything from last year’s successful whelping and include anything new I learned for this year’s litter of Golden puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
