Hi Richard,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. While I'm glad you think it's a great service, I am sorry you are not happier.
The cost of placing an ad is clear before you pay for it, so there shouldn't be any surprises.
If you are not happy with the price, there are other websites for advertising your dogs for sale, we even list them here to help you https://help.dogs.ie/knowledge-base/selling-your-dog/#dogs-ie-alternatives
“Taught it very poor as I have one dog and she had 6 puppies and my add was stopped going up for over 2 week and had to bring out vet which 100 onto me and to feed puppies longer as people could have seen them and bought them”
Hi Gary
Thanks for your review and I'm sorry you are not happier with the experience.
The law you are referrring to (S.I. No. 681 of 2019 – ANIMAL HEALTH AND WELFARE (SALE OR SUPPLY OF PET ANIMALS) REGULATIONS 2019) stipulates if you sell or supply 6 or more dogs in a year you are legally required to register with the Department of Agriculture. This is something beyond our control.
If you have any feedback about this law you can contact petsalesregister@agriculture.gov.ie, or call the Department directly on 01 607 2862 (open 9am-4pm Monday to Friday).

“Dogs.ie completely has the monopoly on dog & puppy sales. €50 is far to expensive to charge people to advertise a pup(s) to then be restricted to only 2 or 3 add bump ups @ €12 per bump. This is a ridiculous charge to bump up the add nor should you be forced to then re-advertise for another €50 when you have used your 2 or 3 bumps & if you have failed to find the right home. At the end of the day, it’s not just about seeking enough money to justify the work you’ve put in but most importantly finding the right home!! At a cost of €62,€74 or €86 per add there absolutely should not be a 3-4 week time limit on your add. Sometimes pups sell quickly, sometimes extremely slowly and everything in between.
Overall I find dogs.ie very disappointing & not a positive experience. Donedeal was far superior and adds were €4 not €50.”
Hi Anon,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and I'm sorry you are not happier with things. There are other website sites to list your dogs for sale, searching for "dogs.ie alternatives" will show you at least 10 other websites.
Our prices are public and upfront, so there shouldn't be any surprises here. Plus this isn't your first ad with us. I can't speak to DoneDeal, but we pride ourselves in giving fast response times. Your last query was replied to in under 20 minutes, we couldn't give this level of customer service at €4 / ad price point I'm afraid.
Looking at your ad it's been viewed over 1,000 times. This is generally adequate for finding an interesting buyer. The price you had set was a little high for a cross breed, at €700, this is also probably a factor. We did just extent your ad for another week as it wasn't selling, hopefully this will be sufficient to find him a new home.
Thank you, Patricia, for the positive feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you found our service both clear and professional. Ensuring a smooth and transparent process for all parties involved is our top priority, and your acknowledgment of these efforts is appreciated. We look forward to continuing to provide high-quality service in the future. Go raibh maith agat!
Hi Paddy,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and I'm sorry you are not happier with the experience. Looking at your ad you only have 2 images of the dogs, can you add a few more? You can upload up to 10 images on an ad, and ads with more images do better, as it gives potential buyers a better idea about the dogs you have.

“I use this site to sell a puppy. Easy to manage, the support team responds to requests immediately and solves problems quickly.
We recommend this site.”
“a lot of time wasters making contact, plus plenty of people looking for young female dogs for breeding purposes. , i was patient and found the perfect family for the pup .”
Hi Glen
Thanks for your review and I’m sorry you are not happier. Sadly we don’t have any way to limit who contacts you.
If you explicitly don’t want your puppy to be bred from, we can add that to the description.
I see you have two messages for the ad two, they might be worth replying to, they might be better.
