1.
What is the Dura-Whelp Box made of?
Visual perception is a problem. This
is corrugated plastic, not coated
cardboard. That is why there is a 3 year guarantee
on the box excluding chewing.
You should not judge the box until it
is assembled. The walls look flimsy until
the puppy rails are in, they frame and
strengthen the walls.

9.
How is the Dura-Whelp put together?
Only a Philip's head screwdriver is
needed. Everything is held together with
industrial strength Velcro. The bottom is
1 piece that unfolds and has flaps around
the edge. The wall unit is 1 piece that
opens up and sits on top of the floor
piece. The flaps then come up and Velcro
to the sides. Then you insert the rails.
2 of the rails go directly through the
walls and the other 2 fit between them.
This is what frames and steadies the box.

Are there any electrical cords attached
to the Therma-Whelp Cradle?
No, the Therma-Whelp Cradle does not
generate heat. It collects heat from the

cord is needed.
