Unsubscribe option not working resulting in 6+ emails a day. Not recommended. ### 4/5 — Back arrow doesn’t work *2026-07-18, version 3.6.3* I have found that the back arrow doesn’t work. If you click on something, you get stuck there. Please fix! ### 4/5 — Good site. UI needs work *2026-07-17, version 3.6.3* Great site for finding puppies, UI is clunky. Breeder profiles are lacking in any helpful information. Breed search is very limited and breeder location search function doesn’t work well. Back button / arrow doesn’t really work at times. Breeders many breeders don’t seem to respond to inquiries. I have had to reach out to them via their own websites. It seems once puppies are born Good dog is a good resource. But used as a way to get info about breeders who might not be actively selling it is lacking. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2026-06-11, version 3.5.7* Finally no more google search! Just now found out about this site and saw they had an app! Give me all the Shih tzu’s!!!!!😍 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-05, version 3.5.7* I love this app it makes it really easy to find a puppy ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-06-02, version 3.5.5* Easy to use and it’s popular ### 2/5 — Extra Fees *2026-06-01, version 3.5.5* This app was great for helping locate breeders etc. But I did not find its value worth the fees. Also, don’t assume all the approved breeders are raising papered puppies. I didn’t catch that until it was too late. By using this app there was almost $300 in fees plus taxes. Breeder must take payment through good dog if that’s how you first contact them. So look them up on instagram or Facebook to save a good chunk of change. ### 2/5 — Outrageous fees *2026-05-30, version 3.5.5* I found an amazing dog on here. HOWEVER, the fees from the app alone were close to $500 extra dollars. And it charged my card automatically when filling out the form without me confirming anything. I would recommend getting your dog from elsewhere. ### 2/5 — Very frustrating experience with the reservation system. *2026-05-27, version 3.5.4* I selected a specific puppy, applied for that puppy, discussed that puppy with the breeder, and even received confirmation emails showing that puppy’s profile and information. During the process, the app suddenly switched the reservation to a completely different puppy without any clear warning or notification. I did not realize this had happened until after I had already gone through the deposit flow. I later found out the original puppy had apparently already been reserved earlier that morning, even though the platform still showed the puppy as available when I started the process. The breeder was polite and tried to help, so this does not seem intentional, but the platform experience itself was extremely confusing and emotionally frustrating. On top of that, the refund process may take several business days, leaving funds tied up after a failed reservation caused by what appears to be a serious synchronization or reservation-state issue. I really hope Good Dog improves the reliability and clarity of its reservation system. ### 5/5 — Very useful! *2026-05-20, version 3.5.4* I was looking for an australian shepherd, and good dog was the perfect app! Good Dog only has ethical breeders, and shows prices, profiles, and all the information needed! Thank you so much Good Dog, for helping me find my own little friend. ### 5/5 — Amazing Setup *2026-05-17, version 3.5.2* Everything about the way this app works is amazing! Thank you hopefully I come across the dog I need🙏🏻. Thank you ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sleazy sales *2026-08-31, version 3.7.0* Do NOT use this app. Charging over $200 as a service fee on your website was not clear from the start. Do not recommend, do not use ### 1/5 — DO NOT CHOOSE GOOD DOG *2026-08-28, version 3.7.0* Good Dog DOES NOT let buyers leave reviews of breeders, so there is no way to tell which breeders are trustworthy. I deeply regret trusting Good Dog to help us find a responsible breeder. Our experience left us seriously questioning what that screening really means. Our puppy was born April 1 but, according to the records we received, did not receive her first puppy vaccination until July 2, at approximately 13 weeks old. When we received her, she had three embedded ticks, fleas, and scabs around her ears and neck. We reported our concerns to Good Dog. We were told they would speak with the breeder and follow up with us. In our experience, we received no meaningful resolution or follow-through. What disturbed me even more was learning how Good Dog handles its “Verified Owner” feedback. Good Dog’s own breeder-facing information says breeders can easily remove Owner Stories they do not want displayed. In my opinion, consumers should know this before relying on the positive owner experiences displayed on breeder profiles. I also found Good Dog’s buyer protections extremely disappointing. I could find extensive policies concerning payments and financial transactions, but I could not find an equally clear and prominent policy explaining what Good Dog will do when a puppy arrives with significant health or care concerns or is materially inconsistent with what a buyer reasonably believed was being represented. My advice to prospective puppy buyers: DO NOT assume that a breeder appearing on Good Dog means you can skip your own independent research. Verify veterinary records, vaccination dates, health testing, and breeder practices yourself. I wish I had known all of this before trusting Good Dog with such an important decision. I would not use this service again. ### 1/5 — Need more info *2026-08-16, version 3.6.7* Before I place a non refundable deposit I’d like a bit more info about the dog ### 1/5 — Figure out your feedback loop pls *2026-07-30, version 3.6.4* We purchased a puppy through good dog from a questionable breeder. I tried to report the incident but no one from Good Dog followed up. I cannot tell if this is a one off miss or is a larger more significant pattern. We love our puppy — it was just extra expensive to get him treated for the parasite and kennel cough he came with. ### 1/5 — 1 star for promoting backyard breeders *2026-07-04, version 3.6.1* Be cautious when using this app they promote backyard bred mutts like doodles and doodles and oh did I mention doodles? And you can’t block them unless you apply, withdraw, then block. No way I’m gonna give my private information to people who are terrible horrible people in the first place. This app needs MAJOR improvements if they are gonna allow backyard breeders to stay and promote their terrible mongrels. ### 1/5 — Don’t make the mistake I did *2026-07-03, version 3.6.1* Do yourself a favor and do not use this app unless you don’t mind paying over twice what the dog cost. I honestly feel. Raped by this app in regard to cost. Every transaction you make with the breeder. For example, your deposit, then the actual price for the dog. And then any transportation costs, you have to pay a processing fee. Not once, but every time an invoice is generated. Not to mention you are charged two and from the location of what you’re having the dog shipped. In my case, by the time, everything was set and done. It cost me almost 2 times of what the price of the dog was. The app would not allow my breeder to make any changes to Invoices, for example, a changing logistics And also blocked my breeder from making any Suggestions which would save me money. Completely unacceptable business practices. In my opinion. ### 1/5 — Junk app *2026-06-20, version 3.5.9* Cant even refine search such as under 100 miles. ### 1/5 — Teacup yorkie *2026-05-16, version 3.5.2* Frustrated and angry unable to complete application No one to contact to answer important questions ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-05-14, version 3.5.2* When I first downloaded the app, worked wonderful! The last few weeks, you can’t scroll looking through dogs??? It will only let you go so far and it repeats?!? ### 1/5 — Fix your website and app *2026-05-10, version 3.5.1* Terrible UI, can’t even browse all breeds in your local area. To have to select a breed. Who thought that was smart? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-08-27, version 3.7.0* This is the best app for helping me find a dog! I love it. ### 5/5 — I wish Good Dog would give a discount on the prices *2026-08-07, version 3.6.6* Good Dog is pretty awesome. Only thing that sucks. Is that now if you want a dog it cost more than a car now.Lol but Good Dog’s pretty cool good app. Everything’s good on the app except the price prices. ### 5/5 — 3 years! *2026-08-05, version 3.6.6* Its been 3 years since Ive used this app, 3 years since Ive had my little best friend❤️ I recommend this to everyone looking for a puppy! ### 5/5 — Most positive experience *2026-07-24, version 3.6.3* I would like to thank the good dog app for helping me find my puppy.

This was a very positive and great experience. Thanks Good Dog. ### 5/5 — Excellent app for getting your pups. *2026-07-22, version 3.6.3* Wow! My experience so far with Good Dog has really been wonderful, connecting with passionate dog breeders and knowing more about their lifestyles raising puppies has really blown my mind away.
