It’d make my job easier! ### 3/5 — Still waiting *2026-06-04, version 3.9.2* Been waiting weeks and still pending. Ridiculous. It’s Harder then trying to get into a vip restaurant on a Friday night smh ### 3/5 — Ehhhh *2026-03-23, version 3.7.4* Started out great and got greedy with the fees and rules. Future breeders beware: the fees continue to increase. ### 5/5 — Connecting with Buyers *2026-01-27, version 3.6.3* So far I’ve had a great experience being able to connect with potential buyers. I love that Good Dog if fair with their fees which really helps find great homes for our puppies! ### 3/5 — Difficult to communicate *2026-01-13* Have tried 4 x to list litter before it was accepted. Also do not understand why my schnauzer site is not accepted. They said because I had toy and teacup sized dogs and they weren’t breed standard??!?!?! Look at your site! They are all over it. Toys, teacups, even Merle’s have been on there. I really feel discriminated against because you have not treated others the same. You are inconsistent in choosing who you “throw off”. I had never seven sold a schnauzer on my there!! I have have been told repeatedly that this would be looked at and I would get a response but no response and it’s been years!! **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Having a third party verify my breed and health testing goes a long way. ### 4/5 — Trustworthy *2025-12-11, version 3.6.2* I like using Good Dog, even though they have some fees because they screened me as a breeder and asked where I kept our Parent dogs which no other site did. ### 5/5 — Good Dog Is awesome *2025-11-06, version 3.5.8* Good Dog has helped us take our program to the next level! It has helped us to be able to spend more time with our puppies because they just bring great families to us!! Thank you Good Dog for doing an awesome job! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-02* Good dog has been very helpful in helping families match with our pups. The screening process I think is super helpful. Although the families are screened and go through the process, a lot of them never do respond back after you take the time to respond and answer their questions. That can be frustrating. Overall I think it’s a great place to find your new furry companion. ### 5/5 — Great Assest to our Breeding Program *2025-10-21* Good Dog is an absolute blessing to our breeding program and has helped us find the perfect homes for our pups! The platform makes it easy to connect with wonderful, qualified families who truly care about their future puppies. We love how organized, streamlined and supportive the platform is. Good Dog has truly simplified and made the process easier for both the breeder and the buyer. ### 5/5 — Love *2025-10-17, version 3.5.5* I love that I could have good conversation ### 5/5 — Easy interface, easy to use *2025-10-06, version 3.5.3* Good Dog has been easy to use, letting me list lots of information about my program and upcoming litters. I just got my first dog family from it, so it’s working out well! ### 4/5 — More scammers and nosey ppl than customers than I would like. *2025-10-03, version 3.5.3* Good dog is a great platform but have had expierence where ppl pretend to be buyers but only want to come visit puppies to be nosey. It’s hard to schedule showings for regular buyers that it makes breeders not want to open up their homes to anyone . ### 5/5 — Make a Good Cat! *2025-09-10, version 3.5.0* Hello Good Dog. I know you’re so into dogs but what if you made a Good Cat where cat breeders sell kittens! It’s such a good idea and I would be so happy if you made one! I have recommended Good Dog (your app) since July and I just love this app! It would mean EVERYTHING to me if you made one! ### 5/5 — Sold very few *2025-08-13, version 3.4.8* I have not had as many serious buyers as I would like however I am still learning more of what you offer. I do post my links. ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2025-07-29, version 3.4.7* Love how easy it is for me to jus upload and update any pic or video of the progress of our litter and we had so High interest and puppy customer! It’s great and I’m recommending it to friends and family as well! ### 5/5 — Safest Platform for Puppies *2025-07-18, version 3.4.5* I LOVE the safety and protection Good Dog provides to its buyers AND sellers💯 But most of all, I love the peace of mind I have knowing my payment is protected by Good Dog! Thank you Good Dog💜🐾💜 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Breeder *2025-10-02, version 3.5.3* Been waiting for about 5-6 months to get approved ### 1/5 — Absolutely Horrible *2025-09-01, version 3.4.8* Horrible customer service! Terrible communication. They try to claim they only want ethical breeders but really are only using breeders to lure people to their website/apps. Regardless of what the breeder contract says they also claim they can and will pull money out if your account if a buyer lodges a complaint against you. There are much better options out there. BEWARE OF THIS APP! ### 1/5 — Poor Customer Service, Backyard Breeders *2025-08-15* I got approved then within a week they did another “screening” and said my account didn’t meet their requirements even tho a week before it was approved. Keep in mind I hadn’t even talked to clients, or set up my profile completely yet. When I asked them specifically what “policy” I had broken they couldn’t provide that information. 🚩🚩 yet I see breeders with no health testing on either parents with no titles being allowed to post?! My dogs are titled, Embarked, and OFA’d. But yes let this app only support BACKYARD BREEDERS. Seems to me like this app only supports the greed of bybs. Poor app. 80% of the time on this app your buying from a backyard breeder. Save your money and do the research online for good breeders. One of the breeders they have approved on this app is a known animal abuser so glad you approve them but not a breed preservationist 🚩🚩 **Developer response:** We're concerned to hear about your experience, and we'd love more details so we can share more insights into our screening decisions. We take the enforcement of our standards very seriously, including any allegations related to animal welfare, and we'd like to look into this properly to ensure the safety of our community. Please reach out to help@gooddog.com, and our team will do what we can to make this right. ### 1/5 — sign in *2025-06-10, version 3.4.1* how am i supposed to use this if i can’t even make an account! ### 1/5 — Not viable *2025-04-09, version 3.3.6* Horrible customer service, no voice or protection for breeders. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2024-09-16, version 3.0.7* They have multiple scam breeders on GoodDog which I had to go through and report. Clearly they haven’t done the research needed before letting people list ### 1/5 — SCAM! Not recommended *2024-08-23, version 3.0.5* charging excessive fees to accommodate the puppies, they put filters that even if you send them veterinary references or the exams of your dogs, they delete your account, even if they have already accepted you. it's a waste of time! ### 1/5 — I dont like this page *2024-08-23, version 3.0.5* bad experience as a breeder. They have no respect or support for breeders. led send private documents and social media accounts. I was talking to a consultant named Syd, I called her and she never answered. They don't support the breeders, they just benefit from us. Bad experience ### 1/5 — account *2024-07-05, version 2.8.8* i can’t even sign up into it,i want to make an account but it keeps telling me to log in when i don’t have one!! ### 1/5 — SCAM! *2023-12-07* Worst application. They are scammers!, be careful when giving your personal information and cards. Its scam, if you are going to buy or upload your puppies on the page think’s wisely, they’ll keep them. Its not reliable! SCAMMERS PAGE **Developer response:** Hi Frederick - our screening team carefully assesses each program on our platform to make sure they meet our standards.

His name is ENC goldendoodles! He was wonderful and help us find the perfect match for us! I would 100% recommend this app! I also have multiple family members that I have used it to find their forever puppy as well! ### 5/5 — Good Dog is Fantastic!! *2026-05-23, version 3.8.8* We have used good dog as breeders for about a year now and have sold every puppy on here! They are legit and I love it! ### 5/5 — So helpful and efficient *2026-05-02* Good dog does an excellent job facilitating the whole process. Not only did it connect us with high quality families but also makes everything easier from communication to payment to contract signing. The fees are reasonable for what you get from it. ### 5/5 — Just Good Folks *2026-04-09, version 3.8.0* I have sold many of my puppies on Good Dog. All the people I have come across. Have just been good folks. They love the dogs unconditionally. I’m thankful for Good Dog. And it’s vetting process for both breeders and buyers alike. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-03-12, version 3.7.3* I love that both buyer and seller are protected, and the majority of people that are interested in purchasing a dog are serious and a great way to advertise as a breeder ### 5/5 — Long time breeder, but new to Good Dog- I love it ! *2026-03-03* I’ve bred standard poodles for over twenty years and Bernedoodles for over eight years and I’m a bit old school and using a resource like this was out of my comfort zone. However, a good friend and fellow breeder suggested I try it. Initially I was overwhelmed by the application process and felt like I was applying for a job. However, in retrospect I see the value of Good Dogs thoroughness! I have already had interested and qualified people reaching out to me. So, I can highly recommend this business. ### 5/5 — So far so good! *2026-02-20, version 3.6.8* It’s been two days and I have gotten several qualified applicants! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
