Where to get a dog?

Registered Breeders

By buying a dog from a registered breeder you are ensured that the ongoing welfare and breeding standards set by the Irish Kennel Club are being met. A complete medical and family history of your new dog will be available to you, and you can be confident in the level of care and well being that has been afforded to your dog and its relatives.

Consider Adoption

Every pet deserves a loving home, and at Petmania we encourage you to consider adoption if you are thinking of getting a dog. Dog adoption matches families with dogs of all ages that are looking for a long term home. The Petmania Adoption Centre works with local agencies to re-home 100's of dogs throughout Ireland. For more information about adoption, visit our online Adoption Centre, or come along to our next in-store adoption day.
