EZwhelp EZclassic 28"x28"x18" Small Padded Dog Whelping Box with Rails, Puppy Whelping Supplies, Gray Pad

The set up was fast and easy for one person to do- so is disassembly and clean up is as easy as taking the dirty section outside or place in bathtub and hose off! No need to take the whole thing apart (unless you want to!).Easy to disinfect since there are no hidden corners or crevices.Easy to store since it comes apart in small sections.Heavy duty / built to last BUT very light weight!Love the heavy duty pig rail and the fact that it is easily removable, easy to clean, easy to take apart to store.The added "fitted" protective sheet is awesome! I wasn't expecting that! And the padded liquid resistant whelping pad is awesome and easy to launder.I do have a couple of suggestions for the company though. Please consider the following:1- end caps top and bottom for the connectors rubberized or plastic as long as they are sturdy and easy to get on/off for people but not pets!2- accessories such as heat lamp poles that fit into the connectors; height extenders made of panels of welded wire that fit into the connectors for keeping momma and later- babies in the whelping box so that we don't have to monkey with pens surrounding the box.Over all- well worth the money!!!!

Easy to put together and great, sturdy design. Worked great for our needs and easy to clean.

I’m very happy with this purchase it is Well built! I love the rails! I love the way the pieces fit and come apart easily for cleanings. I also purchased the EZ Welp heating lamp and rod for the Classic Welping box. I was very impressed with the setup for the rod placement to make creating heat for the pups easy and safe. The Box looks classy as well! My Pup deserves the best for her newborn pups and this is a perfect pick if you feel the same :) Ive Also ordered the Camera with temperature sensors from the EZ Welp site.Everything I’ve ordered came in a fad manner as well packaged nicely! I’m definitely an EZ Welp Fan .. 5 Stars!

This was so easy to set up, clean, and store I would recommend for anyone who has pups on the way. This worked great for our Golden Retriever who had 12 pups.

Took lots of leaning over/resting weight on while assisting with puppy delivery without issue. Easy to assemble, ability to adjust/close entry is handy. Took the inner frame out during whelping, replaced after to allow pups to avoid being smushed by mom. 🤣 Wavy panels make it a bit more time consuming to clean, but smooth surface is easy to wipe off.

We've got a litter of second generation "Dane-Heavy Golden Danes," meaning that they're 1/4 Golden Retriever, 3/4 Great Dane, (Father is 50/50, mother 100% Dane). These pups are 35 to 40 pounds at 8-weeks of age, so a good Whelping Pen was a must!This is a fantastic product. It's easy to assemble in multiple configurations and we purchased the large size whelping pen - plus - the additional largest sized play area, (which has been a godsend, since we put a large-sized puppy "Loo" (dog litter box with the fake-grass astroturf-looking stuff), at that end to keep filth separate from food/sleep/play areas. It's worked fairly well.The edging rail system is cool and easy to assemble/disassemble, with the latter being the most important for us, as we didn't get much use out of it. I see what they were going for there - something to keep small pups out of the "wedge" where they can get smooshed by a nursing mother - but for our sized pups, this was convenient for about the first week after moving them from their "puppy pool" to this at 1-week.Once our pup's eyes opened and they became mobile, the safety rail became a booster to enable a crafty pair of them to jailbreak constantly!I LOVE and HIGHLY recommend this pen. If you've got small or medium breed pups - even large breed - this thing is going to be AWESOME for you!If you're rearing a litter, (especially a large litter - ours is 13 face-licking, gangly lunatics), of GIANT BREED dogs, just know that, by 5 or 6 weeks, the more athletic and crafty of your litter are going to find a way to escape over the wall! (We've got 2 of them that are like Michael Schofield on PRISON BREAK!) Be sure that the surrounding room is also Puppy-Proof, or you'll be chasing puppies everywhere.I do hope that the manufacturer will consider making a "Giant Breed" version in the future that will take wall height into consideration as well as length. I understand that using multiples of the same panel is price-effective, versus the cost of producing and warehousing much small numbers of different-sized panels, but even offering a panel-extension that fits into the pin holes in the tops of the upright panel junction mounts would be a good offering.Personally, I've purchased dowel rods and plastic screen from my hardware store and created a screened extension to deter the escape-artists from going over, but I don't think it'll hold up for long. Just hoping we're able to make it to 8-weeks and send most of these crazies to their forever-families!One thing to note, (and I should've taken a photo of this), the upright panel junction pieces are AWESOME! They have a hole in the center of them that goes to the floor. I went to my local Farm & Home Store, (Bomgaars), and purchased two, 4-foot metal rods, (in the welding section), and bent them each 90-degrees in a vice at about 16" from one end. I then bent a hook into the last 3 inches of the 16" bent rod and used that to secure metal-cone heat lamps to hang above the whelping pen. I then used automotive wire harness covers, (the long, black, ribbed plastic hose looking stuff with a slit down the side), to secure each lamp's electric cord to the rod, all the way to the pen's plastic upright and inserted the rod into the hole to the floor. (That was then all wrapped with electric tape to keep it secure).This gave me two heat lamps on poles that hung above the pen, which I could simply swivel out of the way when not in use, (to make easy access for changing out blankets or later gruel bowls, etc.). It worked GREAT!!!If you do this, just make doubly-sure that you secure the wiring like I did so that puppies cannot access it when they get bigger, (although in my case, we didn't need the heat lamps at the point that the pups were big enough to start chewing stuff).Final mention - If you get this, it's handy to splurge for the extra "Play Area!" Like I mentioned, we use that for a potty area. The ability to close off the pups in one area while cleaning the other has been AMAZING! Well worth the extra investment!

The whelping box itself is very nice, seems sturdy and easy to clean, and was simple to assemble.The problem is that it arrived very clearly used (it even still had an Amazon return authorization slip inside) with a sticker stating it should be reported if sold as new (which it was).There was visible, cosmetic damage to multiple pieces and it was missing the washable whelping pad as well.The seller offered a $56 partial refund, but if you are expecting it or require a new product, you might not get it. I'll still feel comfortable using this after some heavy disinfection, but others might not.

Quality whelping box. Head and shoulders above the rest if I am honest.
