Common Questions

What families
ask first.

The questions we hear most in the first 48 hours. For anything else, ask the voice assistant in the corner. It answers instantly, any hour.

Health & Training
DHLPP at 6 and 12 weeks, given by Stokeshire. Dewormings at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks. The 16-week booster and rabies are done by your vet at the first wellness exam. Full records travel home with your puppy for your vet to review.
Crate acclimation is part of Doodle School. Puppies going home at 8 weeks have had litter socialization but not formal crate work, so set up a crate and start the first night, and have your trainer's first session already booked. Our Essentials Guide calculator tells you which crate size to buy.
Bladder control develops gradually. Formal potty training starts with consistent structure at home, or through Doodle School if enrolled. Our Potty Training Guide gives a day-by-day plan.
It begins at 8 weeks and runs 28 days. Your puppy goes home at about 12 weeks, trained and on a routine. We confirm the exact start date once enrollment is finalized at checkout.
Food & First Week
Diamond Naturals Puppy. It is what our program feeds and what we recommend your puppy stays on. Keeping the same food protects digestion during the transition home. For exact daily amounts by age and expected adult size, use the feeding calculator in our Puppy Essentials Guide. If your vet ever advises a dietary change, follow their transition guidance.
It depends on your puppy's expected adult size, which varies by litter and pairing. The interactive calculator in our Puppy Essentials Guide gives you the exact crate size and collar fit for your puppy so you buy once and buy right.
NuVet Plus is optional immune support during transition. Good puppy food is your foundation. Ask your vet at the first exam what fits your puppy's needs.
Ask the Stokeshire voice assistant in the corner first. It answers common questions instantly, in our own voice, any time of day. All families get 30-day post-placement support, and Doodle School families also get weekly trainer follow-up. For health concerns, call your vet first, then loop us in.

the way you did.

Sent by a family who came before them. When your puppy settles in and someone asks where you found them, we would be honored by the introduction. A referral from a Stokeshire family carries more weight with us than any advertisement ever could.
