Way too expensive

Was a lot of burrocracy setting up everything in the beginning, I understand that’s the department and kennel mainly at fault , but an ad at €50 is waaaayyy over priced, the kennel club aren’t fit for office from what I see, totally unhelpful and no shame in them

Hi Clinton, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. There are other websites you could advertise on that are either free or cheaper.

Looking at your account, we had to help you register with the Department of Agriculture, that's something out of our control, it's the law that you have to register. Generally we've answered your questions in under 5-20 minutes, which does have a cost involved.

We are glad you found good homes for your dogs.

I put my little dog up for sale on this site. I know you pay a small fee but my little pup got his forever home in only a few hours. A couple bought him and I am so happy he got a good home with people who will love him and care for him.

Puppy fraud unactionable apparently.

I reported two ads that featured the same puppy with the same distinct markings under two different breeds and because the seller is a ~licensed~ breeder, neither ad is currently suspended. If someone has credentials apparently they're untouchable despite direct proof. Gumtree seems tyrannical at times but at least they're not letting a buyer take home an entirely different kind of dog than what they signed up for. The ad would have been taken down in an instant there. I respected this site until I saw clear fraud, tried to report it, and was fobbed off several times. I suspect the email respondents aren't trained what to do if the accused has a breeding license. The microchip numbers were different also, so the pictured dog is not the same as at least one of the chip numbers, if they're even their pictures at all.

Hi Mandy, I believe that this report has been dealt with and the offending advert has been removed. Thank you for your report.

Very impressive site with excellent engagement

The best trustworthy site I have used they are very honesty and trustworthy. The checks that the conduct for buying and finding new homes makes you feel at ease as they have the dogs interest at the heart of their business. I have an issue with an Ad (my fault) and was resolved so quickly it was impressive.
I would highly recommend dog.ie as the only site to use for their professional approach and care for dogs.

Hi Alan, thanks for your review, I’m sorry you are not happier. Please email support@dogs.ie and we can get you sorted out straight away.

We had to lock the fields as some people were changing the breeds to sell multiple dogs.
