“Good but very expensive. Compared with donedeal very expensive. Disappointed to see pups put up before 8 weeks old. Not fair on sellers that are genuine and abiding the law.”
Hi Brian,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We appreciate your feedback regarding pricing and the age of the pups. We strive to maintain high standards and ensure fairness for all sellers. Your input does help us enhance our service.
Note : we only publish ads from when a pup is 7 weeks old, or on the Friday before if this date is on the weekend. We had to add this measure as people were trying to sell very young pups. By law, a dog has to be 8 weeks old to be sold and taken away from its mother.
Best wishes,

“This is my third time using this site and I’m at a loss to try understand why some people think it’s a car auction site. I’ve been very reasonable with my price for the dog advertised and people still want a life for almost nothing. If I don’t get what I want for the dog I’ll refrain from using this app/site again. All animals are a life and people pay well for the use of this site so if the people logging in to look at an animal aren’t serious about the animals they are looking at, then why bother 🤷”
Hi Dermot,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I completely understand your frustration with the price expectations you're encountering. It's important that every animal is valued appropriately, and it can be disheartening when potential buyers don't recognise that.
If you haven’t already, consider updating the photos and descriptions in your ad to better highlight the dog's qualities. Sometimes a fresh perspective can attract more serious inquiries. I do know that it's harder to rehome older dogs, and prices tend to be lower, so that's something to also consider.
We appreciate your feedback and hope you reconsider using our platform in the future. We're here to support you, and we want to help connect you with the right buyer.
Warm regards,

“It is a great site to find new homes for our pups. Unfortunately it is very popular and your ad very quickly disappears down the line. I think that it is a lot to charge €12 for a bump.”
Hi David,
Thank you for your review. I understand your concern about traffic on our site. We continuously work to improve our visibility and attract more potential buyers for breeders like yourself.
Looking at your ad we feel you could benefit from having more than one image shared of the dog you are selling. Ads with 4 or more do best. Also a longer description could possibly help too.
Thanks for your input, and we hope to see more success for you soon!
Best wishes,

“What I liked most is that I didn’t have to provide my mobile details and deal with loads of calls. I just used the message function and I was able to respond when I got the chance to do so”
