Hi Dominika,
Thank you for your feedback! We understand that pricing can be a concern and strive to offer competitive rates while ensuring quality and safety in our services.
We feel €50 is fair for an ad, and the price hasn’t increased in almost 5 years. The price is public before you buy an ad, so there should be no surprises.
Have a great day,
Team dogs.ie
Hi John, thanks for your review, and I'm sorry you are not happier. We see your ad has over 600 views in the 4 days since it was live. The price for the pups seems fair.
Perhaps some different photos or better photos could help? Email us at support@dogs.ie and we can try to give you some pointers.
Hi Patricia, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been better.
We see you’ve had two inquiries via the messaging system, so we are a bit confused.
Looking at your ad, the price is definitely on the higher end, this could be deterring people contacting you.
Feel free to reach out to us at support@dogs.ie to discuss further!
Hi Dylan,
Thanks for your review and I'm sorry you haven't managed to sell the dog yet. It is a little harder to sell dogs over 6 months. Can you add in a few more pictures of the dogs ? I know that helps. I've edited the ad a little for clarity. I see you did get message about the dog and some calls, did they result in anything ?
“I found it hard to get ad up initially. I was exhausted by the time I did. I've been trying to add more photos and microchip numbers but I can't get chips on. I find it very slow and frustrating.”
Hi Marie,
I'm sorry you are having difficulties with your ad.
If you email the photos to support@dogs.ie we can add the new images to your ad straight away.
Ads are locked once published, but again if you email support we can add them for you, we need the sex, microchip number and the colour of the dogs and we can update your ad.
“Bit expensive to advertise. I only had an advert up for a couple of hours and it was €50 still. I understand people selling but litters. Maybe a charge per puppy advertised ?
I am happy with the fast speed of sale though.”
Thank you for sharing your feedback Claire-Louise, regarding the cost of advertising on dogs.ie. We truly value your input, as it helps us improve the experience for all our users.
I understand your concerns about the expense, and I would like to point out that the advertising fee is made clear upfront before any listings are placed. We believe in transparency, which is why the cost is always highlighted during the listing process to ensure there are no surprises. The same price for a single puppy, adult dog or a whole litter is for simplicity, and we also found people were slow to put in the whole litter in an ad.
That being said, we appreciate that everyone has different needs and expectations when it comes to selling pets, and if our pricing didn't align with your expectations, we completely understand if you may have considered alternative platforms or selling your dogs directly.
If there's anything we can do to enhance your experience moving forward or if you have any further suggestions, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Thank you once again for using our service, and we are glad it all worked so fast for you and that you found a loving home for your dog.
“Dogs.ie more or less have a monopoly on advertisement for dogs in Ireland, this is a extremely expensive site when you are trying to sell dogs especially older dogs. One other thing i went with one of your template other advert I want to edit the add but it will not allow me how do I do this. Regards Michael”
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your feedback. I understand your concerns about the cost of advertising older dogs. We strive to provide a platform that helps sellers reach a wide audience. For example we also running sites like adultdogs.ie and Irish.dog to help bring attention to your older dogs.
I would also encourage you to add in more than 4 images of your dogs. You can have up to 10.
Although we acknowledge that our pricing may not suit everyone, we encourage you to explore different methods of selling if you find it too expensive. Your thoughts are valuable to us.
“A lot of interest at the weekend. I wanted to put up more pics but it seemed to be uploading too many pics from my pic gallery so I couldn't upload anymore. 3 pups sold out of 5”
Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear you sold a dog recently, and I hope the weekend brings you even more success! We're always here to support you in your selling journey, so if you have any suggestions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Best of luck!
Hi Shannon,
Thanks for your review, if you email us at support@dogs.ie we can help edit the ad for you. We had to lock it as people were selling multiple breeds of dogs from the same ad.
“Good customer service reply very fast.
Good website to get customers.
Only bad side only get 4 bumps per ad pitty it's not unlimited for slower sale times.”
Hi Anon,
I’m sorry you are not happier. The price is linked at the top of all pages.
Looking at your ad it may be the fact that your dogs are listed at over €1000 and pups at these price points tend to sell slower and take longer. Please reach out to us if you need another bump on your ad.
“I did not realise until I got to the payment section that I was paying €50 to advertise just for 30 days I feel this is very very excessive and quite overpriced”
Hi Michael,
thanks for your review. I'm sorry you were surprised about the pricing. It is linked on every page (mobile devices, on the top and bottom of the page, on desktops it's on the bottom). Generally dogs sell well before the 30 days if the price / description & images are well done.
