Sell puppies with Pets4Homes

Pets4Homes is the largest, dedicated pet marketplace in the UK. This means we have the buyer volume of large, general marketplaces so you can get lots of traffic to your adverts, but with a focus on pet welfare and promoting responsible breeding that the general marketplaces don’t have.

We have a great reputation with 96% of buyers on Pets4Homes considering it to be a safe place to buy. We attract committed, sensible pet parents.

We charge a fee for advertising puppies on Pets4Homes to avoid unscrupulous sellers and finance our moderation efforts. This means that you will be seen next to other responsible breeders.

We also have a boost option designed for people that want to reduce the time to rehome their pets.

If you hold a valid Animals Activities Licence you can become a ‘licensed breeder’ on Pets4Homes which gives you a certified badge and gets you a spot in our Breeder Directory.

To submit your licence, go to your ‘My Account’ section, enter the required information, and upload a photo of your licence.

Please note, we reserve the right to share information with local councils to assist with any investigations they might have on a particular breeder.

After you have created an account and logged into it, you can create an advert from the homepage with the + button. Adverts on Pets4Homes are done on the per litter basis, rather than per single pet. Adverts last for 60 days although you can, and should, close them when you’ve rehomed your puppies.

Once you have submitted your advert it will go to our Trust and Safety team for moderation. If we are happy your advert complies with our safety requirements your advert will go live, otherwise you will be contacted by a member of our team. All things being well, this is a very quick process.

Full details on advert requirements can be seen here.

 Pets4Homes often gets confused with Pets at Home due to our similarity in names. Where Pets at Home sells many pets and pet supplies, they do not sell puppies. At Pets4Homes you can find reputable breeders who can provide you with your new family member!

When considering where to sell puppies, Pets4Homes emerges as the premier choice for those looking to reach a dedicated and responsible audience of potential pet owners in the UK. Animal welfare and safety is our number one priority, making Pets4Homes the ideal platform for sellers who prioritise the health and well-being of their puppies.

Yes, for the welfare of the puppies and to comply with UK law, all puppies sold must be microchipped by the time they are 8 weeks old. Vaccinations are also highly recommended before selling puppies to ensure they are protected against common canine diseases. These steps are crucial for the health and safety of the puppies and provide peace of mind for buyers, aligning with Pets4Homes’ commitment to promoting responsible pet ownership.

It is illegal to sell puppies before they are 8 weeks old in the UK. This law ensures that puppies have the necessary time to wean from their mother and begin socialisation, crucial for their development and well-being. Pets4Homes strongly enforces this rule, only allowing the listing of puppies that meet this age requirement to ensure they are ready for their new homes.

While it’s legally possible to sell unvaccinated puppies, it’s highly discouraged due to the risks unvaccinated puppies face from preventable diseases. Pets4Homes encourages all sellers to vaccinate their puppies before sale, aligning with best practices for animal welfare.

While pet shops are legally allowed to sell puppies if they meet certain welfare standards, many breeders prefer direct platforms like Pets4Homes that connect them with potential buyers. This direct approach allows breeders to ensure their puppies are going to suitable homes. Selling puppies on Facebook or other social media platforms may face restrictions and doesn’t offer the same level of assurance and audience dedicated to pet welfare found on Pets4Homes.

Pets4Homes provides a user-friendly platform for breeders and pet owners to list puppies safely for sale, reaching a wide audience specifically interested in pets.

In order to maintain a responsible breeding community and support our moderation efforts, we have decided to implement a fee for advertising puppies on Pets4Homes. This fee ensures that you will be listed alongside other reputable breeders, helping to deter unscrupulous sellers.

Pets4Homes is designed to maximise exposure for your puppies to find them loving homes efficiently and effectively.
