How to Get Started

Make your pet listing stand out amongst the rest using some simple but effective techniques:

Feature your listing, for one month it will appear highlighted in blue at the top of your category and also

in the rotating photo banner on both the homepage and category page giving your ad that extra exposure.

Before taking your photos ensure your pet/s look their best.

Brush or wipe their coat to make them look clean and eye-catching.

It’s important to get the right photo.

Ensure your pet is looking at the camera, place them on something appealing,

like fabric (pink for female, blue for male), a nice chair or even the green grass looks beautiful as a background.

Take a number of photos (front and side) and choose your best.

Try not to have your hands around the pet as potential buyers want to see the pet not your hands.

Please don't put your hands around their faces to hold the head in place,

this is not a good look and doesn't show off your pet.

We understand it is sometimes difficult to get photos of them and they just don't stay still.

Be patient, take photos when you have plenty of time and don't rush and get upset,

they are just doing what’s natural - investigating the world around them

Once you have taken your photos upload as many quality photos as you can on your listing,

the more the better and you can have up to 20.

If you have a litter you can label each photo,

letting potential buyers know who is who, female or male.

You can label each photo at time of placing them on your listing.

If you can take a video and upload, this will help people see them playing and show their personality.

Take the footage on grass or in a clean cleared area inside.

Provide weekly updates with a few photos as your pet/s grow and change.

It’s really easy, change the first photo to a new image

by clicking and dragging the photo you want in the position once uploaded
