Frequently Asked Questions
When should my dog arrive at GrowlTopia? We recommend boarding the dam at least 5–7 days before her due date (Day 56 of gestation) to allow her to settle into the suite and feel safe in her environment.
What do I need to provide? We provide the whelping box, sterile bedding, and monitoring equipment. We only ask that you provide the dam’s preferred food and any specific supplements she is currently taking.
🌸 Post-Birth Recovery & Pampering
We believe a healthy litter starts with a happy, relaxed mother. Whelping is hard work, and the "Dam" is our top priority.
- Complimentary Post-Natal Massages: Every mom staying in our Whelping Suite receives two professional therapeutic massages following the birth.
- The "Swoon" Factor: We specialize in gentle touch techniques that help reduce swelling, promote milk flow, and lower cortisol levels. Our moms absolutely swoon over these sessions—it’s their favorite part of the recovery process!
- Stress-Free Nursing: By pampering the mother, we ensure she stays calm and patient with her new litter, leading to a much smoother transition into nursing.
Testimonials
Kajzarai was great she communicated the entire time of diesel's stay 5 stars
I’ve trusted her with multiple dogs for boarding, but when my dog Xayllyn was pregnant with 6 puppies, I was completely overwhelmed, constantly worrying about all the ways things could go wrong. I decided to book her dog doula services, and it was the best decision I could’ve made. She guided me through every step; preparing for the whelping, monitoring overnight, and providing postpartum support for both Xayllyn and her puppies. She was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive, checking in regularly and explaining what was normal and what to watch for. Her care gave me so much peace of mind, and I truly don’t know how I would’ve managed without her. She goes above and beyond. I never worry when my pets are in her care.
Kajzarai was absolutely brilliant! She sent pictures twice a day, followed all the instructions I left for her and stayed longer than she had to because our trip got delayed! She totally went above and beyond! Our dog absolutely loves her and we will definitely be booking her again in the near future! If you are looking for someone that will treat your fur babies as their own, she is the perfect fit for any pet related need you might have 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing a sitter! Thank you Kajzarai!
