Great communication

Great communication. Good clear advertising with good guidelines. The association with the 5 free weeks pet insurance is a great help

Hello,

35% of breeders get a whatsapp video call from us
50% are completely rejected from their application
We manually check every single listing.

Can I ask if you can report this to us formally please?

I am afraid I can only see you have an incomplete account on our website. You started to register but never completed. This means on our website you would not have been able to contact any breeders.

Which makes me think perhaps this review relates to a different business?

Please email us info@puppies.co.uk with your full report and this will be dealt with swiftly and appropriately.

Great website

Was looking for a puppy and came across this website. Very easy to navigate and find local breeders with puppies available. Quick response to initial enquiry. Breeder very responsive, helpful and friendly. Within a few days we had our cockerpoo and brought Frankie home.

Simplicity itself

We were given the opportunity to bring our puppy home within a week of viewing the post. The process was so simple and we have our beautiful little boy living with us now in his forever home. Thank you.

Hi There,

That's right, if you'd like to take the optional boost package you can - but the boost doesn't start until the advert goes live.

We take up to 48h to do our checks and keep our site as safe as possible and only promoting responsible breeding.

As you say, we emailed you to ask for a photo of the mother and pups together.

If you were having issues uploading we would be more than happy to receive your image over email and upload it for you.

Can you please send it to us now so we can get you live ASAP? Your boost has not started yet as it is not live.

If you are not able to, we are more than happy to cancel the ad and refund the optional boost fee - just email us please.

Thank you
