Some of your kind remarks!
As novice breeders we were very anxious as we awaited our first litter.
Marilyn's Whelping and More video was absolutely invaluable.
It gave us
both knowledge and confidence.
Thank you,
Dr. D R. Texas
We were well prepared, thanks to you, and everything
went according to your video.
It was reassuring to know what to expect and what we needed to do.
Great Website. I was able to view your video
and found it amazing. J.

First of all would like to order the new whelping supply kit.
Second I would like to tell you that I have been on alot of sites
looking for information and supplies for whelping etc.
And yours is in no doubt one of the best I have seen.
Not only do you
have great products to help even new beginners but you also "allow"
them to print if this is their choice.
I take my hat off to you and your site.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Marilyn,
Your advice was great, she is starting to eat and drink more.
I don't know what I would have done without your video - a real godsend-since I was alone when she whelped.
It really helped that I watched you about 20 times before we did it for real. Thanks again for all of your help,
we couldn't have done it without you.

Your whelping video has come in very handy that we bought last year.Tim and I whelped a litter of 11 lab puppies and followed your instructions as stated in the video.
All survived but 1 who was still born and could not be revived.
All in all everyone was happy and healthy.
We couldn't have done it with out your help!
Thank you. C.M.
I think your website is definitely the best site I have
ever been on in regards to dogs' breeding.
Thanks

Thanks Marilyn, your video arrived just 7 days from its shipping.
I love how you comforted that dog and cared for those pups, hopefully I can do half the job you did.
I wish you could be here to coach my husband and I with these pups. I'm a bit nervous.
Thanks to you and your husband for this most helpful video,
it has both taught me and made me so aware what a big responsiblity we have ahead of us.
Best Regards. S.D.
Dear Marilyn,
I wanted to email you to thank you once more for making your wonderful video. When my Standard Poodle Leah gave birth last
Sunday to 6 males and 1 female, she, being a first time mom, didn't have a clue what to do. Had I not made a study of your video, I
would not have had much more of a clue than she did! But, as a result of heeding your words, I was both prepared and able to break
the membrane, dry the puppy, clamp and cut the cord, suck out and clear out the mucus and start them breathing and then
sucking. I gave the mom both the beef broth you mentioned as well as the powder that you sent, which I mixed with water as you
described. The idea of the heating pad in the laundry basket was a fantastic help and I used it continually throughout the labor.
When she was having a hard time passing a breech pup, I assisted by pulling the pup as you described and although that pup
seemed listless at first, she came around very quickly.
I cannot thank you enough nor express more emphatically the importance of your video for anyone who is assisting a dog in
the labor process. I am now enjoying your website, petbitsforyou.com and finding it most informative. You're the best, Marilyn!
Bless you!
Yours Sincerely,
Sher
Marilyn,
Just wanted to email a short note to let you know I am the proud grandma of three beautiful yorkie puppies.
I had a chance to view the video two times. Your video was
a godsend.
Me and my daughter do not know what we would of done without it.
Molly delivered the first two breach at 10:00 PM and the next was at 10:05 which made things quite difficult coming together
so quickly.
Honestly the bitch did not seem to know what to even do she let us do everything without a moment of hesitation.
She did not even attempt to bite the cord , eat the placenta nothing so we would of been in the dark if we had just counted on
Mother Nature to take over.
The only part of the delivery we had a problem with was on the last puppy (male) which was
born about 45 minutes later we clamped the cord but it would not stop bleeding.
We called our Vet and they told us to tie it off
with thread after the third attempt it finally started to clot.
that gave us a scare.
We did do the swoosh to clear the mucus but really never heard anything come out?
We were not to sure if we did that part
correctly ?
But all in all everything went like clock work according to your video and we can not thank you enough.
It provided the
confidence and knowledge we needed.
You and your husband are truly a blessing to the novice breeder.
Sincerely, C.F.
Marilyn, I just wanted to take a few minutes and the time to send you a picture of my Little Tia-Nicole and her 4 precious pups, born May 2 &
3.
I could not have done it without your video and whelping kit.
Thank you so much and may God Bless you.
Sincerely,

Hi Marilyn,
I received the video and kit shortly after you sent it! The video is quite Amazing. My husband and I watched it
together, and noticed our Pomeranian sitting on the other end of the sofa watching it with us..lol. ( she was
Very interested each time a puppy was born). We will view it again and again before "Victoria" has her first pups,
and the couple with the "Dad" also wants to watch it! So THANKS for putting so much time and effort into
helping people with their pets. This is just the beginning for us, so you'll probably receive an update at some
point. ( how did you create the practice pup? my husband wants us to practice)
I am also an RN ( 25 years), but never experienced anything like this!
THANKS again,
Jan Andrews ( Williamstown, NJ)
Your video made our first experience with whelping this litter very easy and we knew what to look out for in advance, (after watching the video 5 times ) along with printing some of the pages from the web site and having them posted in the
whelping room by the box I built like yours. It made things alot easier.
We had 5 yellow, 5 black and 2 chocolate labs , delivery started at 0400
est and finished at 1500 this afternoon. momma and pups are doing great, vet said good job, thanks so very much, highly recommended.

Marilyn, I must tell you I was much more than satisfied. Your products
arrived exactly when you said they were. They are great products, and the
film was terrific. Best one I've seen. Down to earth, easy to understand,
and homey - the best kind! You have been simply marvelous and it has been
because of you that our eight pups were born healthy and ready to set the
world on fire!Thank you very, very much. Have a blessed new year! Mac R.
I just loved your website. It is the best website to find any breeding/whelping material I have found.Grace
Hi Marilyn,
I just wanted to thank you for the whelping calendar and the wealth of information. What a wonderful site you have! I got you bookmarked for easy referance. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge!
Sincerely,Joyce
Hello. My name is Lucinda L. I ordered your video and a few other items and spoke with you on the phone
recently. I was so relieved after watching your video and want you to know how confident I feel now about helping our dog "Ginger" with her first litter. I know new breeders are not often encouraged to do so but where else does one (who adores a breed and wants to better it) start? I have been reading everything I get my hands for the past 2 years, both good and bad. I thought i was prepared but having no hands on experience, i found myself searching for something to help me gain any type of experience I could not gain in books. Your video gave me insight to exactly what would happen, a vision, not just words of what i can expect. I now have the confidence I need to deliver Gingers' pups. THANKYOU
THANKYOU
THANKYOU.
Although I have the therma-whelping system, I really love your setup for heat and light. IF ever you decide you would like to part with your "unit" (if ever) PLEASE CALL ME OR E-MAIL ME. i WILL BE BREEDING FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
Perhaps if you would be so kind as to tell me what you think of the heating system I have got,
would you please. I found it by going to whelping supplies and found therma whelping system.
Thanks so very very much. You were wonderful along with your husband and dog..
Lucinda Lehman.
Dear Marilyn.Thankyou very much for your speedy service, I was very impressed with your whelping dvd as i have never witnessed a whelping before.
J.S.
Thank you very much for your DVD and supplies. It was a life saver! I watched the DVD several times. Then when the welping actually began, I had it running in the next room so my two eldest children (19 & 20) could assist me. \Y.C.
Thank you Marilyn, RECEIVED video today. You mailed in on May 30th, and I received it one week later, on June 6th.
Wouldn't you know that the very first puppy would be breech, and a dry birth to boot!! I was sitting on the edge of my seat!!! Thank you so much for all the explanations, all sooo helpful! You, Comet and your husband have all done a wonderful service for breeders everywhere. God bless you, all best wishes, elle
Love your web site!!!
Its my Bible where my dogs are concerned as I am a novice to all this.
Thanks so much! S.L.
Hello Marilyn:
The tape arrived safely and it took a couple of days until we both had time to watch it. We are very satisfied and found it extremely enlightening and chocked full of information. Having seen the presentation we feel more confident in facing the task ahead of us with the aid of a seasoned breeder to walk us through our first venture.
Thank You,Janet
Dear Marilyn,
My husband and I watched your excellent whelping video last night, and I have to tell you how grateful I am for it's thoroughness!
I don't feel so worried about my girl's delivery now.
We had a pretty bad experience last July with our other girl, and I wasn't too sure I wanted to try puppies again, ever.
The mom-to-be actually watched the video, too!
When the puppies came and started squeaking, she perked up, ran over to the TV, stood on her hind legs, and tilted her head as she kept her eyes glued to the action!
She watched for a long time, as if she knew she'd better get familiar with the whole process!!!
I can't thank you enough for making this incredible video.
My husband wonders if you're available to come stay with us for a few days when our girl is due!!!
Thank you so much. Do you have anything else on whelping that may help? We're due August 27.

In March I ordered your DVD Whelping and More. I greatly appreciate you and your insight to create a DVD on whelping our wonderful pets. Early this moring, 12:05 am, our sweet little yorkie, Abbie, began giving birth to four beautiful puppies. This was a wonderful experience for me and after veiwing your DVD a number of times I had my notes as a guide to be sure I did the best I knew to do. Your video was my saving grace and guide. Thank you so very much! This positive experience was possible because of your information. It will be used in the future. May you be blessed! K.Mc.
I ordered your whelping and more dvd and watched it once already. It was wonderful. Full of extremely useful information. I can hardley wait for the sequel. I will watch it many more times as I am new to breeding.
Thank you so much.

Our beloved Shih Tzu had her puppy (just one!) yesterday and I want to let you know how much the DVD helped us. My husband and I are first time "whelper-helpers" so we were very nervous. Thanks to your excellent advice and instruction, all went well. None of us have slept much since the birth, however....puppies are quite squeaky!
Thank you.....J.R.
Hello Marilyn,
Wednesday I received the parcel, thank you.
My wife and I watched it a couple of times already.
Very very helpful, it prepared us for the things to come.
The only thing that I like to know is, shouldn't we try to
let our yorkie do it on her first, then if she has trouble we
would act.
Thank you, Marilyn for your advice.
Like you said, we didn't wait around for our Yorkie to do
the job, we helped all the way through and all 5 puppies are good
and healthy.
You know at first when the fourth one was born, she had
seemed to reject the puppies, so we decided to let her do her
own thing for a little while when the fifth one was coming out,
she licked it and licked it... we thought that would give her the
idea that these things coming out are hers. It helped, and now
she is doing really well.
We made sure that she drank a lot, water
and like you said "beef soup", it kept her temperature normal.
We referred to your CD many times and we feel it made the whole
experience very exiting and enjoyable.
Your whelping kit came
very handy and we are so glad that we got hold of you at the
right time.
Thank you so very much....
Jaycee
I have been watching your dvd and I am impressed with it.
Your knowledge and suggestions are very helpful.
I have only whelped a couple of litters, and I am pleased that I found your dvd.
I already had Hilary Harmer's book, as well as many others, but your visual explanations are
far easier to understand, than just diagrams and the written word.
You have done a positive service for both people and dogs!
Many thanks,
M.S
Just thought I would tell you how much good we have got out of your birthing video.
I watch it eveytime we are having a litter and it brings me up to speed on all aspects
of the birthing process. I have used it now for 5 litters and there is not a time I do not see something
I would have done out of sequence or forgot. It must have been a lot of work to do this
and I really appreciate your efforts.

Hi there, Julie here.
I am the proud mom of two puppies.
I received your whelping video just in time.
Thank Goodness-I watched it twice!
Also the whelping kit was EVERYTHING I needed.
Thank you so much for all the GREAT information.
Being a first timer I was very nervous about helping.
But when it came down to it I was right there ready!
Thanks to you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
They are 6 days old today. And mom and pups are doing great.-Julie L.
You sure can post my comments.
I am so thrilled with everything I've learned in such a
short period of time!
I have been spending MONTHS buying books, etc..
And to stumble over your web site was the best thing that ever happened to me.
And yes, I read http://www.petbitsforyou.com every day, and tomorrow I am going to attempt trimming their nails!
Thank you and God Bless. Julie L
