- Whelping BoxesThe Whelping Box is available in 5 sizes, ranging from Toy to Giant. The material used is a uPVC which is strong, lightweight, water resistant, and has low thermal conductivity. This helps to make our boxes sturdy, hygienic and insulating. As the material is UV stabilised and impervious to water, the boxes can be stored outside, and hosed off or pressure washed. The boxes have a clever yet simple knock-together design, so they flat-pack for storage and transport, and take less than 5 minutes to put together. No tools are required for assembly (perhaps a little knock with a rubber mallet). The boxes include pig rails, 6 multi-use hooks and 4 corner shelves. A wall-to-wall shelf can also be provided, which helps create a “den feeling” and retain warmth. Each corner have keyholes at the bottom for feeding cables and wires in and out (heat pads, thermometer / thermostat probe, etc). The front panels have vertical holes for securing puppy pens (any type) down the track. The Whelping Box is perfect for breeders, vets, shelters and rescue groups alike. We can also custom make upon request. Please email enquiries to info@whelpingsupplies.com.au as shipping needs to be manually calculated for these…

- Tube FeedingTube feeding is sometimes a necessity for some puppies for any number of reasons. We carry a range of sizes of both feeding tubes and compatible syringes. Our feeding tubes and syringes are human hospital grade, with enteral fittings, so please note that they ARE NOT luer slip compatible. Enteral/tube feeding equipment is typically orange in colour (or sometimes purple) to indicate that it is for feeding, and the slightly different enteral fitting is to prevent misconnections in a hospital setting (IV lines, oxygen lines etc). Our feeding tubes are clear with markings every centimetre, and our compatible syringes have a silicone o-ring for superior smooth action and improved re-use. Never trim a feeding tube.

- Puppy PacksWhat do you include in your Puppy Packs? Breeders like to send the puppies they have spent time and effort nurturing into healthy vibrant puppies to their new homes with an arsenal of useful items to facilitate a continued positive upbringing and stellar future as canine citizens. Most Puppy Packs include written instructions as to how your puppies/breed are best settled in, raised, housed, trained, fed and groomed. Furthermore, they should have at least a few days of their regular food supplied, plus items such as puppy nail scissors, a silicone finger toothbrush to keep gums and teeth healthy (this is incredibly productive towards dogs being comfortable with their mouths handled and examined further down the track), and a clicker for basic behaviour, obedience and trick training. Tick removers are a “must” in most parts of Australia. Other useful items include the puppy’s next worming tablet, some puppy pads for lining bedding and cleaning up accidents, and a collar and lead that matches the colour of their baby collar (easily identified in pictures). Blankets that have a familiar scent of the dam and litter-mates are often provided by breeders, and we recommend that these are not properly washed (only spot…

- FoodMany bitches’ appetites plummet in late pregnancy and postpartum, and we really understand the stress and worry breeders are faced with. Common strategies include offering Wombaroo puppy milk, cheese, ice cream, cooked or raw mince, roasted chicken, cat food, etc. Whatever it takes, really! Our assortment of food is selected because of supreme palatability and nutritional density.

The TLC Advance ICU Humidicribs provide a consistently warm, clean, quiet, safe and reliable haven for baby and recovering animals.

FAQ
Please read our FAQ before sending us a message.
Can I speak with someone bout the products before purchasing them?
Of course! Please feel free to contact us for any information.
How do I change or cancel an order?
To change or cancel an order, you must contact our customer service team either by online chat, email at info@whelpingsupplies.com.au or by telephone on 0405 662 430 as soon as possible.
Please note that we try to ship orders on the same or next day and orders cannot be changed or cancelled once shipped, so please contact us as quickly as you can if you’ve made an order error.
Can I collect my order?
Yes, you are welcome to come by and pick up your order. Please contact us to make an appointment, so that we can have your order ready for you, and to make sure we are in the office at that time. We are located on the Gold Coast, QLD, Australia.
How long does it take to ship my order?
We pack and send as soon as we can, usually the same or next business day. If there is an expected delay of more than 3 business days for dispatching your order, we will let you know.
For less frequently ordered products we sometimes have to access the product from one of our suppliers, causing a slight delay and meaning goods will ship within seven business days. If for some reason the supplier is unable to supply the goods within this timeframe, we will either cancel and refund your order or contact you with an estimated ETA and ask if you wish to wait or cancel the order for a full refund.
A few items are made to order (i.e. Puppy Gyms, Whelping Boxes) and they naturally take a little longer to make.
How long will my order take to arrive?
We say to allow 10 business days for delivery within Australia. However most of our customers find that their order arrives quicker. Most orders arrive in 3 to 5 business days. Actual delivery time depends on a number of factors including whether you have opted for Express over Regular post, the amount of mail the post office has to process at the time, and whether or not you live in a metropolitan area. The business is located on the Gold Coast, and most orders are shipped from here.
If you live outside Australia you’ll generally receive your order within 7 to 10 business days, but some orders can take up to 28 business days.
What delivery company does Whelping Supplies use?
Whelping Supplies ships most goods using Australia Post trackable parcels, and Star Track for bulky items/orders. Goods are shipped as quickly as possible following the placement of an order, in almost all cases within three business days.
I don’t want the delivery company to leave my order if no one is home, what can I do?
In Australia, under Australia Post rules you are deemed to agree to “Safe Drop” unless you notify Australia Post that you don’t agree. You do this by creating a MyPost account and recording your instructions. You must use the same name, email address and phone number you use with us when placing the order, otherwise Australia Post won’t be able to link the two. Unfortunately you need to do this, we can’t do it for you. You can also use your My Post account to redirect the order to a different address in some circumstances. To set up a MyPost account or for more information visit https://auspost.com.au/delivery-options or call 13 76 78
If you’re not located in Australia, you should contact your local postal service to determine your options.
What about Customs and Duties?
It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of this website and the purchase of any products from us complies with the law where you are. We make no representation or warranty in this regard. All local taxes, customs duties and other government fees and charges imposed on any products you purchase or on your purchase are your responsibility.
If you’re not located in Australia, you should contact your local postal service to determine your options.
Why Have I Only Received Part of My Order?
In order to ensure we can give you the best possible prices, in some cases we will ship an order in two parcels, sometimes from different locations. Sometimes, to make parcels less bulky or protect fragile items, we place them within the packaging of another. So check inside boxes.
If you have any questions, contact un on email at info@whelpingsupplies.com.au or by telephone on 0415 146 651.
If you’re not located in Australia, you should contact your local postal service to determine your options.
Can I return bought items?
Yes, we offer a 7 day money-back guarantee, less shipping costs, provided the goods are returned in a saleable condition and are unused. The item needs to be in the original undamaged box/packaging, including all original packing and inclusions. We reserve the right to refuse the return of items that are returned incomplete or damaged in any way.

No responsibility will be taken for goods returned without a RA number. RA Numbers will only be issued where contact is made within 7 days of receipt of the item from Whelping Supplies.
