Highly recommend. Super customer service

Have found dogs.ie to be nothing but efficient and well run. I have only placed one ad but made a few errors when entering ad and have had to email a few times and each and every time they have been responded to within minutes. I could not recommend enough for not only being able to find new homes for our puppies but their efficiency and quality.

Hi Muireann,
Thanks for your review, and I'm sorry you are not satisfied with your ad. There are only two ways potential buyers can contact you, if you choose to put your phone number in the ad (which you have enabled) or via a message through the site. Looking at your account I don't see any recent messages.

Buyers can't email you directly as your email isn't available to potential customers. Please reach out to support@dogs.ie so we can investigate this further.

Great site can’t edit dog bio after posting

Great site locks you out of editing your dogs description after paying €50 for the 30 day ad

Hi, I’m sorry you are not happy with the service.

Did you manage to find a new home for Toby ? Your ad has been seen more than 550 times since it was published. If you can reach out to support@dogs.ie we can give you some more advice about selling your dog.

We have about 50 ads and over 140 Cockapoos for sale at the moment, so there are quite a few ads in this category.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Simply the best.

If I could give Dogs.ie more than 5 stars I would. Such a professional site with the most helpful staff, namely Sharon and Paul who are always there to help with any issue you may have. Thoroughly recommend this site to anyone.

Dogs.ie is a well ran and safe site for both buyers and sellers.
They have advice for buyers that is clear and easy to follow.
I would like if they added a "view counter" so a seller can see how many times their advert has been viewed. Also the description box should be left open if a seller wants to change the wording on their advert without having to email for permission.
Overall I do think the dogs.ie site is well ran and well policed by Paul and his very helpful staff.
The response from staff and Paul is fast and efficient.
I do think the cost of placing an advert is very expensive, so if the cost could be brought down or if more time was added to the advert I would be very happy.
Very pleased with dogs.ie.

5 star customer service!

5 star customer service. The site itself was great. When I encountered an issue (my fault) they noticed and offered a solution immediately. I can’t thank Paul enough for his quick response, sensible and no fuss approach. Best customer service I’ve had in a while!

Dog welfare

I found this site a bit more difficult than others . Having said that it's welfare for pets is excellent. Once puppies are microchipped I would advise to wait until chip numbers are on database as ur add will be rejected . I would highly recommend it for the serious buyer / seller. Dan

Thanks for the pawsitive review Dan.

We do have a more user-friendly website in the works that's about 2 months out, it will have a new image uploader for example that has more features. If you do have any ideas on how we can improve you can always let us know by emailing support@dogs.ie

It is almost perfect but I need to wait for 2 weeks for microchips to be activated before I legally post my dog ads.

Thanks for the review Dennis, sorry about the delay. This is actually a legal requirement, the microchip has to be implanted and registered in your name.

If the vet does them electronically it should be almost instant. If they are posting them in it can take a few days with An Post and then they have to be transcribed and manually entered into the database. This can take a bit of time.

Next time it might be best to see if you can find a vet that can register them online to speed this process up.
