Prices are the total you pay — nothing added at checkout. Pro subscriptions open inside Whelpy shortly; until then everything in Lite is yours free.

Before you subscribe

The whole of the small print on Whelpy Pro, in plain English.

It renews on its own. £199.99 a year or £19.99 a month — the total you pay —until you cancel. We’ll email you before each renewal, and if the price ever changes you get 30 days’ notice first — never part-way through a period you’ve already paid for.

Cancel any time. A couple of clicks from inside Whelpy — no phone call, no email. You keep Pro to the end of the period you’ve paid for.

14 days to change your mind. If you’re a consumer — an individual, not buying for a business — you can cancel within 14 days of subscribing. Pro switches on the moment you pay, which is you asking us to start straight away, so we keep a proportionate amount for the time you had it and refund the rest. Haven’t used it at all? You get the full amount back. To use it, cancel from your billing settings inside Whelpy or email hello@whelpy.co.uk within the 14 days.

Nothing is held hostage. Cancel or lapse and your records stay readable and exportable — export is free on every plan, including free Lite.

The full detail is in the Terms.

Built around the real nights and the real paperwork

The 3am whelping record

Free

Phone in one hand, puppy in the other. Log contractions start, time of birth, placenta and birth weight per puppy as it happens — Whelpy times the gaps and it all lands, already formatted, in your whelping records. Before the night: her temperature chart, morning and evening, watching for the drop that says 12–24 hours.

A record book that answers the knock on the door

Whelpy Pro

Licensed in England? Schedule 6 says what you must keep: the breeding-dog register, whelping records, the puppy sales register, the healthcare log. Whelpy builds all of them automatically from what you already do day to day, and prints the lot as one record book with your licence number on the cover — regulation references included.

Accounts your accountant will actually thank you for

Whelpy Pro

Every deposit and sale flows into a tax-year ledger (6 April to 5 April). Mileage is tiered at HMRC’s 45p/25p rates automatically. Export a real Excel workbook, or CSVs precoded for Xero and QuickBooks. An audit trail logs every change, and you can lock a filed period.

Buyers who feel looked after

Free

Each buyer gets a private link: photos, weight charts, milestones, health record, go-home date — and the contract to sign online. Fewer “how is she doing?” messages; happier new owners.

What you can count on

Your records are always yours

Export to Excel, CSV and ZIP on every plan, including free. We never hold your data hostage.

UK through and through

Built around UK rules (Schedule 6, HMRC tax years); app hosted in the UK (London); UK GDPR. Privacy

Backed up nightly

Automatic nightly backups on top of point-in-time database recovery.

No card required

Start free; Whelpy Lite is free forever, not a trial.

Questions, answered

Are there any extra charges?
No. £19.99/month and £199.99/year are the total you pay — no set-up fee, no card surcharge, nothing added at checkout.
Does Pro renew automatically?
Yes — monthly or yearly, until you cancel. We email you before every renewal, and cancelling takes a couple of clicks from inside Whelpy: you keep Pro to the end of the period you’ve paid for. If we ever change the price you get at least 30 days’ notice, and the new price only applies from your next renewal.
What if I change my mind after subscribing?
If you’re a consumer — an individual, not buying for a business — you have 14 days from subscribing to cancel and get your money back. Because Pro switches on the moment you pay, we keep a proportionate amount for the time you had it and refund the rest; if you haven’t used it at all, you get the full amount back. It’s all in the Terms.
Is my data really mine?
Yes. On every plan — including free Lite— you can export your accounts as Excel, accountant CSVs (Xero, QuickBooks) and all your documents as a ZIP, whenever you like.
What happens if I stop paying for Pro?
Your records stay readable and exportable — nothing is deleted and export never locks. Only the Pro tools for adding new records pause until you resubscribe.
Do I need a breeding licence to use Whelpy?
No. Lite suits any breeder. Pro is built for licensed (or about-to-be-licensed) breeders in England who must keep Schedule 6 records — but anyone who wants proper accounts can use it.
Can I switch between monthly and yearly?
Yes — you manage your plan from inside Whelpy, and yearly works out about two months cheaper than paying monthly.
What do my puppy buyers see?
Only what you share: their own puppy’s photos, weights, milestones, health record, go-home date and contract, through a private invite link. Buyers never see your accounts or other buyers.
Can I subscribe to Pro today?
Pro subscriptions open inside Whelpy shortly. Start free on Whelpy Lite now — your records carry straight over when you upgrade, and nothing you enter is ever lost.

Start with your next litter.

Free forever on Whelpy Lite. No card. Set up in minutes.
