Health & WellbeingMy dog is panting and she is pregnant. She is not going to her box. I don't want my dog to give puppy outside the box. I put newspaper inside but she is tearing it and throwing it away. When I remove all of them she sleeps inside it. But if I didn't
You can put four screws with eyeholes in the box . . . one in each corner. Then get some yards of felt and cut them the size of the box floor. Sew little elastic loops at each corner, and put your newspapers down in the box. Cover them with a piece of felt, which you secure to the screw in each corner by looping the elastic over the eyehole. I usually do this once the bitch is done nursing the puppies. If you want a fluffier base, buy some thick (fake) sheepskin and do the same as above with it. You won;t need newspapers underneath. Both the felt and the sheepskin are machine washable and drable, so you can change them every time they're soiled and put fresh ones down.
