The Ultimate Whelping Log & Record Book
When labor begins, charting does also. Recording information on each puppy and tracking your Mom's progress is essential. The Ultimate Whelping Log & Record Book features prepared charts ready for you to fill in, making tracking vital information throughout the whelping process a cinch.
This 32-page log tracks the entire birthing process, starting five days before delivery as you monitor the mother's temperature. The delivery chart records essential details such as the time of delivery, sex, weight, and color/markings of the puppies. Additionally, it includes information often overlooked in other charts, such as the time between puppies, placenta passage, Apgar score, and whether successful nursing occurred within the first 12 hours. The log even has reminders for when to administer calcium during the delivery.
After delivery, pages of prepared weight charts with appropriate time increments for recording weights (e.g., every 6 hours, every 8 hours, twice daily, and so on) are ready for you to fill in. Important weight milestones are highlighted, making it easy to determine if the puppy is on track.
Extras in The Ultimate Whelping Log & Record Book include check-off charts for ENS and ESI, a chart to monitor Mom and give postpartum care, a record page for sound desensitization, a bottle-feeding record (if necessary), an expense log, and a litter record (which includes deposits received, etc.) along with a section for notes for future reference. The Ultimate Whelping Log has it all. We may be biased, but it's the best on the market!
While the Ultimate Whelping Log & Record Book can stand alone, it pairs best with The Ultimate Guide to Whelping Puppies, which provides in-depth information on several important topics. Don't be caught whelping without them!
