Whelping Services
At Gold Coast Cavoodles, we proudly offer professional whelping services for Oodle breeders in our state-of-the-art, fully air-conditioned whelping room.
With over 8+ years of hands-on whelping experience, we have safely and successfully whelped our own Cavoodles ranging from singletons through to litters of 10 puppies, all delivered naturally. From toy to mini sizes, your female and her puppies are in highly experienced, capable, and caring hands.
We Do the Hard Work for You
Whelping is intense, emotional, and physically demanding. We take that pressure off you by providing around-the-clock care, ensuring both mum and puppies receive constant supervision, comfort, and expert handling.
Your female and her puppies will receive:
- Safe, calm, and loving care in a dedicated whelping environment
- Continuous monitoring before, during, and after labour
- A fully equipped whelping room designed for safe deliveries
- Daily puppy weight checks with records kept to track progress
- Close monitoring of temperature, feeding, and latching
24/7 Care During the Critical Period
We provide around-the-clock care from the time your female arrives, through labour, and during the crucial first days post-whelping.
The first few days are vital. We ensure:
- Every puppy is latching correctly
- Puppies are kept warm in heated whelping boxes
- Mum is receiving optimal nutrition to support milk production
- Any concerns are identified and addressed immediately
Arrival & Veterinary Requirements
Females must arrive 5 days prior to their expected due date (calculated at 63 days).
- An X-ray is required 5–7 days before the due date to confirm puppy count.
- Females must be up to date with vaccinations.
What to Bring
- Your dog’s regular food
- Goat’s milk (available from Woolworths)

All owners using our whelping service must have:
- An emergency veterinarian arranged prior to drop-off

In the event of an emergency:
