• Breeding and progesterone record: dam, sire, breeding dates, natural or AI, test results as reported by your vet, expected whelping window
• Pre-whelping temperature log in °F and °C (2 pages)
• Whelping day timeline: every event with the time

Where the numbers come from

Gestation ranges and the pre-whelping temperature drop are taken from the Merck Veterinary Manual, "Whelping and Queening in Bitches and Queens" (reviewed June 2025), and cited inside the file. Dates are calculated for a non-leap year.
