I was unable to edit the advert which I thought was a bit amateur for an advert that cost €50.
I did receive interest and the experience was good but at the cost , the platform should be more usable.

Hi Noel
Thanks for your review. I’m sorry you are not happier. By default it's locked when the ad is published.

We had to lock the description / breed & microchip information on ads, as people were selling multiple dogs from the same ad.

If you reach out to support@dogs.ie we can help you update your ad.

Avoid this moneymaker website

Avoid this moneymaker website, they charged me 52 euro for the initial ad and promised me three ad “bumps”. It doesn’t mention that each bump costs me an additional 12 euro! Very poor value, I got one enquiry. The site is inundated with ads

Thanks for your 2nd review on this topic P. I don't know where you saw that you get three bumps for your ad for free, but if you let us know at support@dogs.ie we are happy to look into it. For the record ads cost €50.

As we mentioned in our response the last time, it is harder to sell older dogs. It may be the €500 donation price you are looking for your dog is hindering people contacting about your 3 year old dog. Older dogs are harder to re-home but we do have a dedicated website adultdogs.ie aimed at people looking for older dogs and to help your ad get more views.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for your review. Your ad has been seen over 900 times, so we are getting views on it, but it may be that the price is out of peoples reach a the moment. I would recommend you consider looking at that. The puppy pictures look great.

The worst and disgusting website do not trust this website

This website is extremely not trustworthy the guy who runs this is disgusting an unreliable I advertised 3 puppies put my advertisement up when I went to bump my ad he wouldn't let me try to tell me I had more than six puppies and he took down my ad as I've only had tree puppies and give him the proof at he told me to to register with the Department of Agriculture I got in contact with those and give them all my details and they reply to me that I had no business registering with them as I've only had one female with three puppies and they didn't see what the problem was I asked him for proof and he could not send it to me and when I sent him to proof of the department of Agriculture telling me I did not need to register with them because I have one female with three puppies he decided to block my emails he is very rude and not a very nice person this website deserves no advertisement for the disgusting behavior from he should not be responsible for ah website if he does not know how to run it

Dreadfully Disappointing

I was treated very poorly by a female seller from Cavan who is selling Goldendoodles. We arranged to see a specific dog and were promised the dog would be kept until our arrival the following day. We phoned to confirm our appointment before we set off on our 2.5 hour journey. When we arrived we were told the dog was no longer available and we were being pressured into taking another dog that we didn't want. When we asked about the initial dog we agreed on we were dismissed. When we asked to see the parents of these dogs we were told thats not possible. We were treated dreadfully by this seller. I reported the ad to Dogs.ie and they couldn't be more disinterested if they tried. I'm sure there are some very decent sellers on the site but our experience was awful. The facilitators of this site don't give a damn. Tick the box exercise. I would advise looking at other platforms if you're looking for a new dog

Hi Daniel, I'm sorry you are not happy with your recent experience.

We replied to your initial query within the hour and subsequent follow ups in 20 minutes on a Saturday. I don't know how this is "disinterest". We explained that the breeder may have had other interested people in the dog, we are not privy to that information, or up to date information at that, that would be a matter between you and the breeder. Our role is to connect you with breeders.

We wish you all the best in finding a puppy and we're sorry couldn't help in this instance.

Advertise for Sale.. dogs.

It was well layed out and detailed. BUT I spent Hours trying to figure out how to get my pup on the For Sale page. I found that very confusing. As a buyer or registered breeder seemed easier but to register a pup for sale as a private once of individual was mind boggling.

Hi Karla, Thanks for your review. I'm sorry you were not 100% happy with our service.
Did you manage to sell your dog ? I see the ad is closed after just a few days. If you are having any issues, please feel free to reach out to us at support@dogs.ie and we would be more than happy to take a look at things.

For simplicity and to encourage people to put in whole litters into the ad, we just have one price per ad. This is the same whether you are selling a littler or single dog. All prices are displayed upfront so there shouldn't be any surprises about the cost. In your case it was a single dog, so the effective price per dog sold is a bit higher, but we still hope that you got the experience you needed with rehoming your dog.

Best,
Paul
