Payment fees

All deposits and puppy payments between Good Breeders and Good Dog buyers must be completed securely on Good Dog in line with our On Platform Payment Policy.

For breeders:
It’s completely free to list a litter on Good Dog. Once we do the work of bringing you a buyer you decide to place a puppy with and a Good Dog buyer makes a successful deposit or final dog payment, we’ll deduct 6.5% from the total amount. When you list a litter, you’ll have full control over setting your listing price as well as your desired payout amount. You can always choose to adjust your desired payout to accommodate this deduction in a way that works best for you.

This deduction will not apply to payments categorized as “Other” payments, such as those for transportation, training, or other miscellaneous costs. Additionally, no deductions will be applied to payments from off-platform buyers or from buyers that you refer to Good Dog. When a buyer first visits Good Dog through your referral links (available in your dashboard), our system will automatically mark them as your referral, so we can ensure that any payments from these buyers will be deduction-free.

For buyers:
Buyers can pay with zero fees or choose to purchase extra Protection & Support which includes:

🐾 Free access ($235 value) to Good Dog's Puppy Training Program to help them during the critical first year with their new pup

🐾 Exclusive discounts on puppy essentials from Chewy, Rover, Barkbox, and more!
​​​
🐾 Support from our world-class team of veterinarians and behaviorists who are here for your buyers if they have questions as a new dog owner

🐾 Payment protection to provide your buyers with confidence and peace of mind in the placement process

If buyers choose to complete their payment with Protection & Support, the fee is listed completely separately from your prices, which are always in your control, and the benefits are clearly explained to buyers at the time of payment.
