Using a Play Pen for Momma Dog and Her Litter
Use play pens make a great place for your small pet to have their litter. My sister's chihuahua had puppies a few months ago and wanted her momma dog to have a safe place to have them and to keep the pups away from the daddy dog and cats in the house. She cut a small hole big enough for the cord to a heating pad to use for the puppies when "momma" needed a break. Also, another good idea is you can drape stuff on the sides for privacy so the momma dog doesn't get to nervous with the other pets looking in. Worked great!

My mother bred dogs all my life and when I was younger I used to breed them too. Both of us always used a playpen! They are a real life saver for doggy moms and their little families. One thing to specify tho, is that it has to be the kind with the netting, not the wooden slats. Before they came out with the netting ones, Mom used to attach sheer fabric all around the inside of the playpen.
