“The price! is far to expensive for this service. Dd was much cheaper and better, more people was there, bigger interest. Dogs.ie is not that popular.
Also all mix dogs ( coocapoodle, multipo and any other 💩) should be categorised as mix breed not under one of the breed category.”
Hi Dominika
Thanks for your review, I’m sorry you are not happier. Finding a new home for older dogs, like your 4.5 year old Boston Terrier can be more difficult, but we do have a site adultdogs.ie to assist with this.
Price per ad is published before an ad is placed, so there shouldn’t be any surprises on costs. There are other websites you can try, we list more than 15 alternatives here https://help.dogs.ie/knowledge-base/selling-your-dog/#dogs-ie-alternatives
Mixed breed dogs like a “coocapoodle” or a Cockapoo are in their own categories. Mixed breeds can select two breeds to show people what their name traits are.
Hi Eamonn
Thanks for your review and I’m sorry you are not happier. Looking at your ad it’s been seen over 600 times and you’ve gotten a few messages and calls about the dogs. You could try expanding the description of the ad a bit or adding more photos.
You can bump the ad back to the top of the listings. It costs €12 and will bring your ad back to the top of the page and add 5 days to your advert.
That's fantastic Eleanor / Martin. Generally dogs don't sell quite that fast, but I'm happy that it all worked out for your littler and that they all found some great new homes in such a short period of time.
“its the only way to sell your dog and make sure they go to a good homes also i suggest videos so you could get a good view of a pup or Dog as you would see them moving about it would show how healty the are thank you Joe”
Thank you Joe for the suggestion and the pawsome review.
We do plan to have videos added to the website towards the end of the year. Currently you can embed a youtube link to be displayed, but you are right uploading a 30 second video would be more immersive and help show people a better view of the dogs in question.
“Need to be far more transparent with the bump ad fee. Dogs.ie make the seller conform to alot of requirements before publishing but the potential buyer (nuisance calls included)does not. If the buyer is interested they should have to register their phone no and email with dogs.ie before they can make contact”
Hi Adrian,
Thanks for review, and I'm sorry you were not happier.
You can set your ad to be contactable with 3 different options :
1) phone number public
2) phone number available for people logged in
3) no phone number, and they have to use the messaging system.
If you select 2 or 3 they do have to verify their phone number and have an account. More information can be seen here https://help.dogs.ie/knowledge-base/phone-number-in-ads/
Hi Alan, thanks for your review and I'm sorry you are not happier.
If you need changed to the ad, please email support@dogs.ie and we can update it for you.
We had to lock it as people were selling multiple different dog breeds in one ad, and the information was no longer accurate.
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).
