In dogs, cats, hamsters and guinea pigs (the only mammals who have 
multiple babies in which I've witness births) the baby comes out in the 
sack with the placenta attached. They are born one at a time, and mom 
opens the sack if it has not burst, licks the baby, and then eats the 
placenta and membranes. If the amnion has ruptured, the mother licks the 
baby, and then pulls at the placenta that is usually still dragging behind.
