We all know how stressful a time whelping can be and here at Hyperdrug we have everything you need to make your dogs labour as easy and comfortable as possible. For more information on whelping and puppies please see our Puppy and Whelping FAQ.

Before your bitch is due to whelp it is vital to have the right supplies to hand. Dopram V is a highly effective medication, which will stimulate breathing in newly born puppies. Dopram V is not a supplement but a potent medicine used in premature baby units.

Puppy worming is also vital, we would always recommend using Panacur liquid wormer to ensure correct dosing. Panacur should be given to the bitch before whelping and this will ensure the puppies are born already wormed. For more information see our worming FAQ.

It is also worth having some Milk Replacer on hand in the event that the mother is unable to produce enough milk to satisfy the needs of the puppy. We stock a wide range of milk replacer from well known brands including; Welpi Milk Repalcer, available in two sizes Welpi 350g or Welpi 2kg. We also stock Esbilac Milk Replacer, as well as Royal Canin First Age Puppy Milk. There is also a range for kittens, KMR Milk replacer as well as Cimicat. We would also advise keeping some Puppy Colostrum in stock, as this first feed is vital to the healthy development of newborn puppies.

We also have all the first aid supplies you need including feeding bottles, heat lamps and umbilical clamps.
