Puppy Guide

At Crockett Doodles, we believe there is no such thing as too chubby of a puppy! We feed our pups TLC three times a day. Most Doodles will always be sensible eaters, stopping when they’ve had the right amount. To read more about our favorite food, visit www.tlcpetfood.com/nutrition/crockettdoodles/.

We want you to enjoy the longest, healthiest life with your Doodle. So we recommend NuVet Plus wellness wafers. Protect your pet by boosting immunity, reducing cell damage and providing vital nutrients missing in most diets. Learn more here: www.nuvet.com/81259

Your 8-week-old puppy can “hold it” 4 hours during the day and about 6 at night. Pups and adult dogs love their “den” and like to keep it clean, so a crate is a helpful tool for potty training and for keeping your small pup safe. We recommend using a divider to adjust the crate size as your pup grows.

Take your pup out frequently during the day and reward with praise and a treat. Having all food and most water up by 6 p.m. will eliminate the need to go “out” during the night. Adjusting to a crate without siblings might take a couple of nights.  

Some pups are comforted by having a blanket draped over the crate.

We recommend a well-visit within a week of receiving your new puppy. Your vet will advise you when to begin Flea & Tick and Heartworm prevention and when to have follow-up vaccinations. We strongly encourage you to avoid dog parks, potty areas at rest stops, and other public areas until your puppy is fully vaccinated.

All our puppies come with a one-year 100% health guarantee. We extend this health guarantee to three years for families who feed their puppy TLC for the first three years of their pup’s life. To read our entire health guarantee, click here.
