Which is best? The whelping book is in the dining room and will stay there.

Thanks

If you have either a large or hairy breed theen I recommend a pad or mat rather than the lamp. Its much easier for mum to escape the heat of a mat than a lamp when feeding/ sleeping with her puppies

Re: whelping kit.
also heat pads are in my opinion safer, theres been cases of bulbs shattering and the like. - although if really needed we would use lamps and have done with our last litter, who we lost 4 pups of due to FP.

Re: whelping kit.
Thanks for the advice, I think I am going to go with the heat pad from petnap.
Willow is a working cocker spaniel. So in no way large.

Devil-Dogz, I am sorry you lost 4 pups. as I said I will go with the heat pad and if needed then I can borrow a lamp.

Thanks again!
N xxxx
