We are using technology and community to change the narrative on puppy scams, responsible breeding, and public education.
We’re a secure online community that is built specifically for vetted ANKC breeders, and educated puppy searchers in Australia. We create time-saving tools that help you easily manage your puppy applications and enquiries, by helping you keep everything in one place.
Why we created PETspot
Our team had witnessed first-hand how disreputable sources continue to take advantage of unknowing prospective dog parents, and thrive through the lack of transparency and accountability online. With online puppy scams reaching all-time highs and the surge in irresponsible sources, it makes it difficult to know who to trust, and what to look out for. The source of your dog plays such an important role in its health and well-being, so it's important to get it right from the start. We created PETspot to change this.
How We're Driving Change
PETspot makes it easy to find, compare and connect with verified ANKC Breeders and Adoption Agencies. We provide puppy buyers with the information, tools, and support needed to feel confident on their journey.
By bringing together the power of technology with the best information and experts, we're on a tireless mission to give dogs better beginnings. Through transparency and accountability, Australians have the power to make a difference through our choices. Together, we can raise the standard to improve canine health and welfare.
Health & Behaviour Comes First
We've created Community Standards and a vet-approved Breeder Code of Ethics that places the health and well-being of dogs first. This works hand-in-hand with the stringent Codes of Practices responsible ANKC Breeders already comply with.
We screen every member of our community for responsible practices and are committed to offering a safer, simpler, and more supportive way for Australian families to connect with responsible ANKC breeders. A new system can provide the opportunity for all dogs to live a healthy, well-adjusted life.
Making Quality Accessible
Finding a companion from a responsible source can be time-consuming, confusing, and challenging. PETspot brings together ANKC breeders and reputable adoption groups into one community through their PETspot Profiles. On each profile, it's easy for puppy buyers to view exactly what has been independently verified, making it simple to recognize and connect with responsible sources.
How does PETspot benefit responsible breeding programs?
PETspot is a safer, simpler, more supportive platform for ANKC breeders. We strive to educate puppy buyers about the importance of responsible breeding practices and will continue to advocate and promote purebred dogs.
We have a range of features in the PETspot breeder dashboard that helps responsible breeders save time and energy when it comes to screening puppy seekers and suitable families for your puppies.
