Much more affordable and also very helpful.
Artilife Whelping Box for Dogs 63" Dia, Blue
Cheapest and will do in a pinch, also just as good if set up correctly. I'd suggest researching DIY WHELPING BOXES. I'll add pool noodles in this list as you'll need these for set up.

Needed for lining and safe proofing the pool as a whelping box.

I've personally used this kit and much more. This is a small, woman owned company and she is the absolute BEST and super knowledgeable. She also personally handles any inquiries.

I recommend this if you're new to breeding or inexperienced with canine pregnancies.

Prdigy 18 Pcs Puppy Collars x Small, Puppy Litter Collars, Newborn Puppy Collars Whelping Collars, Soft Nylon with Adjustable Quick Release Buckle Collars for Small Dog Puppies(S)
Always keep track of your litter by color collars. These I suggest for newborn up to a few weeks old or until they get dirty and worn then toss and change for the others on this list.

Always have this on hand BEFORE pups are born just INCASE mama doesn't take to nursing.
