Getting started

Everything you need to go from sign-up to your first paid deposit in Whelpkeep — what the tool does, setting up your account, and a guided first litter.

These pages take you from zero to your first compliant litter and first deposit. Work through them in order if you're brand new.

Start here

  1. What Whelpkeep does (and who it's for) — a two-minute overview so you know what you're setting up.
  2. Set up your account — sign up, confirm your email, name your kennel and start your free trial.
  3. Your first litter in 10 minutes — the guided happy path: a dam, a litter, a pup, a buyer and a deposit.
  4. Key concepts & glossary — the words Whelpkeep uses, defined once.

When you're comfortable, the Guides cover individual tasks in more depth, and the Reference explains every field.
