    You can help your dog during whelping process. But you should not take risk if you are not professional breeder because pregnancy can be complicated and can have serious consequences. You should get help from your local vet.

    If you have planned to whelp your dog at home then get abdominal ultrasound after 50 days of gestation to know possible litter size. This will help you during delivery of puppies. You should build a whelping box well before start of labor. During the whelping process, you can help your dog in following ways.

       1. Cleaning of puppies with dry towel after delivery
       2. Cutting of amniotic sac if it is still present
       3. Cutting of umbilical cord


    But ideally, you should get help from your vet.
