Coverage for Dogs.ie / Pups.ie / Stud.ie

Dogs.ie was built on three main pillars:
  • Trust,
  • Safety,
  • Transparency
our mission is to be the safest way to find dogs online.

We often get asked to comment on pieces in the news around pet care in Ireland, dog breeding statistics or animal health and welfare cases. While we try to answer all questions, it's not always possible to do deep data or legal analysis due to our limited team size. For all media requests please contact us on press@dogs.ie.
