Visit Stokeshire

At Stokeshire Designer Doodles, we eagerly anticipate your visit to meet your new beloved companion. However, please note that visitation options are selectively available. While we would love to accommodate all requests, considering our puppies' well-being and logistical constraints, we regret that it's not always feasible.

Visitation privileges are reserved primarily for our Pick of the Litter clients, especially those investing in an Emotional Support Animal (ESA), Therapy, or Service Animal. Additionally, clients have the opportunity to visit their puppy during their tenure at Doodle School.

Please remember that your puppy will be in its early weeks and may not have completed its vaccination schedule. To safeguard their health, we kindly request that you refrain from any contact with other dogs or puppies for at least 72 hours before your visit. This includes avoiding dog parks, pet stores, or shelters.

The threat of Parvo, a highly contagious and potentially fatal canine virus, is a significant concern. It can inadvertently transmit via clothing and shoes. Given the vulnerability of young puppies to diseases, stringent precautions are essential.

Upon arrival, visitors will be required to thoroughly wash their hands and sanitize them before interacting with our puppies. Furthermore, stepping onto a bleach mat to disinfect shoes is mandatory. While we joyfully welcome children, strict adult supervision is essential throughout their visit. Children are not permitted to open gates, carry, or handle puppies without adult guidance. Though accidents may occur, our utmost effort is dedicated to preventing any mishaps.

To arrange your visit, kindly schedule an appointment below and review the additional directives provided.

This policy aims to prioritize the well-being of our puppies and create a safe environment for both visitors and our beloved furry friends.

 

Congratulations on your upcoming adoption of a Stokeshire Designer Doodle puppy! We are thrilled to be a part of this exciting journey with you. As you prepare to bring your new furry friend home, we wanted to provide you with some information on what to expect when you pick up your puppy and drive with them in your car.

Puppy Pick-Up:

On the day of your scheduled puppy pick-up, we kindly ask that you arrive at the agreed upon location on time and also please text 715.570.5718 with an ETA with updates! The Stokes or one of our team will be eagerly waiting to introduce you to your new family member.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Bring necessary supplies: Remember to bring a secure carrier or crate for your puppy's safety during transportation. We provide a slip leash. 

2. Preparing your vehicle: Prior to picking up your puppy, ensure that your vehicle is clean and free of any hazards. Puppy-proof the car by removing loose items or anything that could potentially harm your new companion.

3. Comfort and safety: During the drive, it's important to create a safe and comfortable environment for your puppy. Place their carrier or crate securely in the backseat or cargo area, making sure it is well-ventilated and stable. Avoid letting them roam freely in the car, as this may cause distraction or accidents. You can have them rest at your feet with a pee pad. 

Driving with Your Puppy:

Here are some essential guidelines to ensure a smooth and stress-free ride for both you and your puppy:

1. Secure the carrier: Fasten the carrier with a seatbelt or use secure straps to prevent any movement during the journey. This will keep your puppy safe and minimize the risk of injury in case of sudden stops or turns.

2. Keep the temperature regulated: Maintain a comfortable temperature inside your vehicle by adjusting the air conditioning or heating system. Extreme temperatures can be harmful to your puppy's well-being.

3. Take breaks: If you have a long journey ahead, plan for regular breaks to allow your puppy to stretch their legs, relieve themselves, and have some water. This will help keep them comfortable and reduce anxiety. Avoid giving her a ton of water or food to avoid any accidents. 

4. Provide reassurance: Some puppies may feel anxious or overwhelmed during their car ride. Talk to your puppy in a calm and soothing voice, offering words of reassurance and comfort. 

5. Never leave your puppy unattended: It's crucial never to leave your puppy alone in the car, even for a short period. Cars can heat up quickly, posing a significant risk to their health and safety.

At Stokeshire Designer Doodles, we believe that a successful journey begins with careful planning and preparation. We hope that these guidelines will assist you in making your puppy's first car ride a pleasant experience.

Once again, congratulations on your new furry family member! We are confident that your Stokeshire Designer Doodle will bring you years of love and companionship. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Best regards,
