Some of you may have gotten this information as i did through an email. Black mountain heated whelping nests. They're not cheap. I think they're 350. 9186336393

Last I checked the Lovett's whelping nest were around 250 I think

I got it. For that price they better be good. Went back and looked they’re $344

I would have bought a Lovetts back in the spring. None of the suppliers i talked to could get one.

Got ya,been awhile since I last looked at em,I got a couple of the hard plastic heated mats made by farm innovators, inexpensive and work very well

The Black Mountain whelping nest has new features and better heating technology. There are no cold or hot spots on the nest now and the thermostat is all digital. Better sealed and should warranty issues arise, the parts to replace are much simpler.

The lovetts nest toward the end were shipping for $299 - so the Black Mountain Whelping Nest one isn't too much more with better heating and thermostat.

Lovetts has gone out of business. Black mountain seems to have a nice product. Talk to the folks at okie dog supply about them. If the nest saves one pup it has paid for itself.

I purchased a nice solid plastic heating pad with non-chewable cord from TSC. It heats up when pups/dogs put any pressure on it at all. Gets good and warm, but not hot. Paid about $39.00 for it.

Can you post the name or brand thanks

 

[WTV]

I’ll try to find it bear128 and post information.

This is the label on the bottom. It’s hard plastic and is approximately 18”x24”. Worked great for pups I had during cold weather. Like I said, I got it at TSC for about $39.00.

Thanks

Anytime!! Mine works great and is plenty warm in 29 degree nights. I put a folded towel or blanket on it.

 

[brewer69]

You think they would be safe to use as hound heaters in the boxes with a little hay over them for bedding? Maybe would create a fire hazard

 

[WTV]

Brewer69, it is hard plastic and gets warm only when pressure is applied. I personally do not see any way it could catch fire or get too hot short of a malfunction in the electrical. But mine looks very well made, and my pups did great on it.

Look at lion country hound supply the have a new type whelping nest I haven’t seen before.

 

[WTV]

The one at Lions Country Supply looks identical to the one I have from TSC, but is more expensive than what I paid at TSC. Even so, I highly recommend!! I wouldn’t count on the “lamb skin” cover that comes with the unit being much good and lasting with pups. JMO

There are two nests. You can see both at Okie Dog Supply. Black Mountain is for small to medium dogs and is one piece molded rubber. The other is made of a slicker plastic and is much larger for large to xl size dogs.
The Black Mountain Whelping nest is even heating across the nest and helps pups not slide around so they can nurse longer and it actually helps them grip so you see muscle development a little faster. It’s really pretty cool. The thermostat is digital and easy to use.
