    Bec Hurd

    Happy ‘pawrent’ of Archie the Cairn Terrier

    You don’t know what you don’t know. I’ve had dogs before but I learnt so much going through the program; from what gear I needed to how to deal with behaviour problems. They’re things I hadn’t even thought of or things I would’ve thought of too late unless someone told me about it.

    Alex & Lianna

    Happy ‘pawrent’ of Miniature Dachshund

    We wanted to find a breeder that was ethical, and did all the appropriate testing. We’re first time dog owners, so we really didn’t know anything about this process of owning a dog. The whole process was great and we can’t thank RightPaw enough.

    Kate Gyngell

    Happy ‘pawrent’ of Wellington the Golden Retriever

    RightPaw took all the stress and work away, and provided us with some incredibly helpful information on getting off to the proper start - with everything from crate and toilet training to what to look for in a puppy school.

    If you want to pay for your puppy on RightPaw, you can make this known to your breeder via a RightPaw message. Once your breeders send through a puppy offer on RightPaw, you will be able to pay via RightPaw.

    Yes, there is a $75 fee per puppy sale, which covers secure and traceable payments, and other benefits to ensure a safe and seamless experience. This fee also includes automatic enrolment in RightPaw Puppy Training & Perks, giving puppy buyers access to expert training videos, vet tips, and exclusive pet discounts to help set them up for success.

    We take the security of our customer's information very seriously. We chose to use the most stringent security payment merchant to protect your credit or debit card information. That's why RightPaw uses Stripe as the payment merchant. No credit card details or bank account numbers entered through Stripe are stored within our platform.

    You can pay securely online over Stripe with one of the following payment methods: bank transfer, PayTo®, debit card, credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

You can still choose to pay your breeder directly outside of our platform but please note that we can only investigate concerns that relate to activities which have taken place on the RightPaw platform. If payment took place outside of RightPaw, we are unfortunately limited in how much support we can offer.

    If you have paid via RightPaw and would like to cancel the Puppy Sale prior to the Puppy Home Date, we can support you in this conversation with the breeder, and help discuss agreed refundable amounts from your Puppy Offer.
