Good Dog has garnered a reputation for facilitating a seamless and trustworthy experience in connecting potential puppy owners with vetted breeders. Customers appreciate the user-friendly app, responsive customer service, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing breeders adhere to strict ethical standards. However, some breeders express frustration over the platform’s stringent policies and lack of transparency regarding fees and breed restrictions, which they find arbitrary and unfair. Overall, while many users celebrate their positive experiences, concerns about fairness and communication highlight areas for potential improvement in the company's approach.

With all the scans out there with purchasing your next fur-baby and having a close friend get scammed I was nervous about the search and purchase. Too a chance with Good Dog but overall it was an excellent experience. They not only helped us find our next fur-baby but provided a securing environment for communication and payments to the breeder. I have enjoyed our experience with Good Dog.
I came across this app by chance, and it's definitely very good and trustworthy. The breeder is certified and the whole transaction was very clear for both her and me. We are so happy to have our new family member and to have met someone who truly loves dogs. Everything is highly recommended!
I have had the best experience using Good Dog to find my puppies. I love the app and the breeders are top quality!
We found our beloved shih tzu Archie through Good Dog six months ago. We were so happy with him and with the breeder. When we started looking for a sister for him a couple weeks ago, of course we wanted to use the same breeder on Good Dog. Last week we picked up adorable Betty, who is Archie's half sister. They get along so well and we couldn't be more pleased.
Using the app was a simple and uncluttered experience. Everything was secure and very easy to follow. We will continue to use it.
I had a great experience with the breeder I bought my pup from on Good Dog. I highly recommend this site.
Having purchased 2 pups in the last 2 months we were very pleased with both breeders, their response to questions asked were great, and both breeders were willing to meet us so that we didn't have to travel the entire distance to receive our pets
As a breeder, I found it interesting the extent the approval team went in asking questions in considering my application. If fact, many times I nearly gave up, as it was so deeply invasive and questioning to my program. But now I understand that this process is what shapes Good Dog as the top platform.
I found the platform very easy to use and made sales within 24 hours of posting. I am excited to associate with their program and plan on using Good Dog as a primary partner in my marketing strategy.
Easy payment and processes all the way through. Help with everything I needed to know.
When I found the husky that I thought would be the one for me. I messaged the breeder and she said it would be good for me to come take a look and see if she would be a good fit for my family. After a meeting Mika, I knew she was the one that I would want, and the breeder was pleased with us and we were able to take her home that Evening.
I purchased a puppy from James Gossard with Heavenly Poodles on 3. 30. 25. Both James and his partner Tracye were so helpful and communicative. They even drove from OH to IL to deliver our pup for a nominal cost. Our dog is perfect: gorgeous, calm, and affectionate. He's everything we could have hoped for.
They knowingly allow breeders to sell pups from dogs with failing health tests! Make sure you are checking the orthopedic for animals website for health tests on the parents of the pups before proceeding!
I originally met a Good Dog breeder by chance. She had a Cavalier King Charles pup, my daughter asked her to show me her pup. She told me about her story. We kept in touch as she was going to have a litter soon. Unfortunately she didn't have a girl pup for me. I looked for a girl with some other breeders. I found my Gracie with a different breeder. She was so helpful and easy to work with. I contacted the original breeder and explained I had found a pup elsewhere but also a Good Dog breeder. She was just happy I had found my girl. Such an amazing experience working with them both
From start to finish using Good Dog was a wonderful experience. I loved being able to filter to the exact dog I wanted... you could search by how far away the breeder was from you. I loved seeing the parents of the puppies and information on them. Communication with the breeder was impeccable! The whole process was smooth, easy & flawless!
We had such a fantastic experience with getting our little Abby! The communication was amazing. Any questions I asked were answered very quickly and with genuine love for their little pups. Pictures were sent as we waited for her arrival so that we can watch her grow. I was met a a their local airport to pick her up with no problems at all. I would recommend good dog and Dee Dee to anyone that is looking for a new fur baby.
Thank you for such a great experience!
I would like to highly recommend Wanda as a breeder. She delivered a precious well socialized and trained puppy. She answered all my questions and delivered pictures and videos whenever I asked. My yorkie used the pee pads immediately and knew her name when I got her. She is the perfect puppy. If you want to have a great experience and a beautiful puppy, you won't regret having Wanda as your breeder. My Zuri was a perfect addition to our family because of her wonderful beginning. Thanks again Wanda for our precious baby girl.
Rose was an absolute dream to work with. She let us come visit and play with the puppies for hours prior to picking one out. We decided to go back the next weekend and bring one home. She is extremely knowledgeable and had a great selection of puppies to choose from.
Answer: Completely legitimate company for dog breeders, groomers, trainers, and buyers.
Answer: I found Gooddog.com and found reputable dog breeders. Breeders who have been around for several years who provide references. I will be getting a puppy in a spring litter.
