“Best Website to Find Your Puppy!”

Brittany R.
9/4/24

Puppies.com was the main website I used to choose my puppy. It was easy to look at a variety of different breeds, get information on each breed, and find puppies available within a certain distance from my house. The website also gives you the ability to sort different criteria for the puppies you find, such as based on newest additions. In the end, I was able to decide on what breed of dog I wanted and find the puppy for me.

“Not worth all the cost - too many robo messages”

Jessica P.
4/23/24

Way too many clearly auto messages from fake profiles just to keep you spending money in hopes one of them responds back with a sale. While I was able to place some dogs - Facebook was more efficient and effective.

Maritza responded to my inquiry promptly about the little guy I was interested in - I made arrangements to go see Rambo and I fell in absolute love with him. He is perfect and beautiful. He was well cared for and healthy, He is so full of energy - it was a good experience and worth the drive to see him and adopt him.

Reason I chose this business:

The way the site is set up is easy to navigate to the type of breed and location you are interested in. The pictures were helpful.

I would definitely recommend this website, it's a very precise and clear website with both breeders and buyers alike. The staff team is very responsible with verifying both buyers and breeders I'm very satisfied with the credibility of the website overall

Reason I chose this business:

At first it was because I was looking for a website to list my puppies, afterwards I saw that there were many puppies listed and each person I contacted was legit.

Hadd been looking for months for the right dog. Then I found puppies.com. That's where I found my little Lily. Found on Sun. Picked up on Tues. Could not have been a better experience. Seller was easy to work with and there were no hidden problems. The puppy had been well cared for and in perfect health, you could tell the seller really cared for her dogs. I would not hesitate to buy from her again.

Reason I chose this business:

The selection was great. The site was easy to use. The reviews were positive.

Was easy to use, found my puppy. Can search by breed, distance, gender and age. Only suggestion I have is be able to search by size, I wasn't looking for a particular breed but a small 10-15 lb dog and had to look at all dogs or list a bunch of different breeds

A little trouble with verification of email address as the email wouldn't open and had to use my IPhone to verify my email address. Overall, I'm satisfied with the usage and search features in finding a new fur baby for our family.

Reason I chose this business:

Bieng able to use a search feature to find a puppy closer to my home.

The site sometimes loses its place after a refresh. And if this is wrong then the site is confusing to understand after a refresh. As well, the search parameters created by the user should retain all parameters automatically between visits. If the user wants to save a search fine and this should be added to other saved searches, in which case the last search should still be available in full upon the next visit by the user. Btw, the placements of the adverts should be moved. They are obnoxious, ether est up my time and I go out of my way to avoid reading them and instead, look diligently for the "skip" tag. Also the ages displayed by the pups: are they updated as time passes and the pups are still being offered?

Reason I chose this business:

I’ve used pet finder ( not limited to dogs and too many rescue dogs). Craig’s list ( backyard breeders and trailer trash) and local online ads ( too difficult to find with consistency. Puppies content is stable even is the site is poorly designed. There is not enough real estate for the information displayed.

A Breeder's Best Friend: Puppies.com Review

As a dedicated breeder of the adorable Bernedoodle, I've navigated my fair share of puppy websites, seeking the perfect platform to connect my cherished pups with loving homes. After countless trials and errors, I discovered puppies.com, and it has been a game-changer for my breeding business.

Why Puppies.com Stands Out:

Efficient Matchmaking: Unlike other sites, puppies.com has a knack for attracting serious buyers, which has significantly increased the visibility of my puppies.
User-Friendly Interface: The website's design is intuitive, making it easy for potential buyers to find what they're looking for and for me to showcase my puppies.
Effective Marketing Tools: With helpful features like engaging post templates and trending hashtags, puppies.com has empowered me to turn followers into buyers.
Supportive Community: The platform isn't just a marketplace; it's a community of dog lovers where I've received valuable advice on puppy health and care.

The Result: Thanks to puppies.com, I've seen a noticeable uptick in inquiries and sales. It's the only website that has consistently brought genuine buyers to my doorstep, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

Final Thoughts: For any breeder looking to expand their reach and find responsible, loving homes for their puppies, I wholeheartedly recommend puppies.com. It's more than a website; it's a partner in the noble endeavor of raising healthy, happy dogs.

Reason I chose this business:

The website’s seamless blend of functionality and community support makes it an indispensable part of my daily routine. It’s the bridge between my puppies and the loving arms awaiting them.

I was searching for a Shih-Tzu puppy, I looked at several places on the Internet and Facebook, I actually almost got scammed by attempting to reserve a puppy from a site online (good thing I checked over everything). I almost gave up, then I found Puppies.com. The site was wonderful, I was able to look at all the puppies available and where they were located. I messaged several people and I was able to pick up my puppy a few days later. I felt very secure with the Puppies.com site, as it verified my phone number and e-mail before letting me sign up. If you are looking for a puppy or even an older dog, I highly recommend Puppies.com.

Reason I chose this business:

The site felt very secure and I could look at the puppies and see where they were located.
I was able to message directly the owner of the puppies. Wonderful site!

Wonderful puppies & wonderful service from Jackie. Was amazed at what she sent home with the new puppy to make the change easier. Thank you so much.

Reason I chose this business:

A "at home" feel to the listing's rather than a total guess as to who is a scammer and who is for real? It helped so much to have a little history on the breeders.

To search for a particular breed, this site makes it so easy. I am extremely happy with how easy this all went, from searching, to buying a puppy. It took me nearly a year to find what I was looking for, but she was worth the time

Reason I chose this business:

I contacted different breeders, hard to get them to communicate with me. This site made that easy.

We raise miniature dachshunds and raise them like family. They are hands on with our children and other dachshunds. We love them and want them to get the best home ever.

Reason I chose this business:

That is where we got our male and our female from. We made life long friends from the experience.

Everything was pretty easy to find on the site.
I wish they had a little more options for the mileage filter (100 miles to 250 miles is a pretty big jump).
Otherwise I really liked everything.

There are several ways to search for a puppy. You are also able to save searches and receive notifications based on those searches. Having verified breeders makes the process safer as does being able to make contact with the breeder through the website.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose puppies.com because of reasons listed above and also because I could find a puppy in my price range.

Would use them again, have already told friends and family. Buying a dog online can be tricky with all the scams out there. We had issues with those a couple of years ago and it was not a good experience.

Reason I chose this business:

Found it on website listings when I googled Boxer Puppies for sale. It is a safe site to use.
