What makes HonestDog different from other platforms
We show what's on file: who the breeders are, how they work and which health records they've uploaded. That way you can form your own picture.
Every breeder on HonestDog has their identity and documents checked before their profile goes live. Health records they upload are shown on the profile, so you can see exactly what has been tested.
Before a breeder profile goes live, we check identity, club membership or breeding permit, and photos of the breeding environment. HonestDog puts you in touch with the breeder and doesn't sell dogs itself — we can't guarantee any individual dog.
We've already checked the breeders' documents and gathered the details, so you can skip the endless research and focus on finding the right puppy for your family.
We connect dog lovers with responsible breeders and shelters to ensure every dog finds the perfect home.
Founded by dog enthusiasts, our platform focuses on ethical dog breeding and adoption.
We connect you with vetted breeders and shelters so you can find your new companion with confidence.
Only verified breeders and shelters — for a safe start.
Every animal's health and wellbeing is our top priority.
Guides, checklists, and breed profiles — so you can make a well-informed decision.
