Puppy incubators
Puppy incubators, also known as IC (Infant Care) units, are a vital tool for helping weak or premature litters of puppies. These units provide a controlled environment for newborn puppies, ensuring they receive the warmth and care they need to thrive. Here are some of the key benefits of using a puppy incubator:
-
Temperature control: Puppies require a specific temperature range to survive and thrive, and an incubator allows for precise temperature control. This ensures that the puppies are kept at a safe and comfortable temperature, preventing hypothermia or overheating.
-
Humidity control: Puppies also require a specific level of humidity to survive, and an incubator allows for precise humidity control. This helps to prevent respiratory issues and other complications.
-
Oxygen supply: Incubators can be equipped with oxygen supply systems, which are essential for premature or weak puppies who may not be able to breathe on their own.
-
Monitoring: Incubators are equipped with monitoring systems that allow for constant monitoring of the puppies' vital signs, such as heart rate, temperature, and oxygen levels. This allows breeders to quickly identify any issues and take appropriate action.
-
Increased survival rate: Puppies that are born prematurely or weak have a much higher chance of survival when placed in an incubator. This allows breeders to save more puppies and increase the overall health of the litter.
-
Lower costs: Using an incubator can save money in the long run as it reduces the need for veterinary care and increases the overall survival rate of the puppies.
In addition to the above benefits, using a puppy incubator can also provide peace of mind for breeders and owners, knowing that they are doing everything possible to give the puppies the best start in life. It is a great tool to ensure the survival of weak litters and gives the puppies the best chance at a healthy life.

Oxygen machines
An oxygen machine, also known as an oxygen concentrator, is a vital piece of equipment for breeders, veterinarians, and pet owners who are caring for weak, poorly, newborn, and premature puppies. These machines are designed to deliver oxygen to the puppies in a concentrated form, which helps to ensure that they receive the necessary oxygen to survive and thrive.
There are several benefits of using an oxygen machine for weak, poorly, newborn, and premature puppies. These include:
-
Increased oxygen levels: Oxygen is essential for the survival and development of puppies. An oxygen machine ensures that the puppies receive the necessary oxygen levels to support their growth and development.
-
Improved breathing: Oxygen machines can help to improve the puppies' breathing, which can be especially beneficial for those that are struggling to breathe on their own.
-
Faster recovery: Puppies that receive oxygen through an oxygen machine tend to recover faster from illnesses and injuries.
-
Reduced stress: Oxygen machines can also help to reduce stress in puppies, which can help to improve their overall health and well-being.
-
Increased survival rate: Puppies that receive oxygen through an oxygen machine have a higher survival rate than those that do not.
It's important to note that the use of oxygen machine should be under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian and should not be used as a substitute for veterinary care. It's also worth noting that these machines can be costly, but the benefits they provide to the puppies, it's worth considering to invest.

Large whelping/ Incubator comb units
In addition to our standard incubator units, we also offer deluxe whelping incubators for hire. These units are specially designed for use during the whelping process and provide an optimal environment for both mother and puppies.
Our deluxe whelping incubators come equipped with heat mats, temperature controls, puppy protection rails, and of course, oxygen. This ensures that the puppies are kept warm and safe, while also providing the mother with a comfortable environment to give birth and care for her litter.
They even have a wifi camera system to allow you to monitor your litters from a smartphone or tablet.
One of the main benefits of using our deluxe whelping incubators is that the mother is able to be with her puppies throughout the whelping process. This allows for a more natural and stress-free experience for both the mother and the puppies.
The heat mats and temperature controls in the whelping incubators are particularly useful as they allow the puppies to stay warm, even if they are too weak to stay close to their mother. And the puppy protection rails prevent puppies from getting accidentally squashed.
Furthermore, the oxygen supply in the whelping incubators is very important for the puppies and the mother, as it helps to ensure that the puppies are getting the oxygen they need to survive and grow strong.
