Blocket vs Skaffa Hund: Where Is It Best to Sell or Buy Your Dog?

Selling or buying a dog is an important process that requires care, knowledge, and planning.

Online platforms Skaffa Hund and Blocket have become common choices for dog owners and breeders when they want to sell their dogs, as well as for buyers. The growing popularity of dog ownership has highlighted how important it is to think things through in advance. Unfortunately, far too many dog owners have returned or sold their dogs after a short time when the pandemic or their life situation changed.

There are several factors to consider when selling or buying a dog in order to choose the best platform. This article explains the differences between using Skaffa Hund and Blocket.

About Skaffa Hund

Skaffa Hund is Sweden’s largest dedicated marketplace for dogs. It was created to make dog sales safer. Skaffa Hund’s goal is to match buyers and sellers in the best possible way. Its modern and secure platform drastically reduces the risk of fraud through several verification processes that both sellers and buyers must go through before they can buy or sell a dog.

About Blocket

Blocket started in 1996 as a local marketplace for miscellaneous items. Since then, it has grown into Sweden’s largest marketplace for buying and selling things. Ninety‑two percent of Sweden’s population is familiar with Blocket. On Blocket you can sell everything from cars to toys, and also pets.

Comparison

Visitors

Skaffa Hund offers a niche environment where your dog ad gets strong visibility among dog lovers who are actively looking to buy a dog.
Blocket is a popular platform for buying and selling a wide range of items. This means there is a risk your dog ad will get lost among all the other listings. For example, dog products and food may appear mixed in with the dog ads.

Customer service

Skaffa Hund provides dedicated customer service and support to help users with any questions or issues that may arise during the process of selling or buying a dog. This leads to a smoother and safer experience for everyone involved. Premium members can also get access to expert help.

Focus on dogs

On Skaffa Hund there are strict advertising guidelines to ensure that all listings are serious and accurate. The platform works to prevent the sale of dogs from unreliable sources and to curb illegal dog trading. This creates a safer environment for both sellers and buyers and ensures that the dogs’ wellbeing is always the top priority.
Blocket does not have the same level of focus.

A marketplace just for dogs

Skaffa Hund is aimed specifically at dog lovers and potential buyers who are interested in dogs. This means your ad reaches an audience that already has a genuine interest in dogs, increasing the chances of finding a suitable home for your dog. In addition, all buyers must verify their identity and answer a number of questions to help ensure the quality of future dog owners.
Blocket deals with a wide range of items and does not have similar focused safety processes.

Summary

The specialized service that Skaffa Hund offers—with many safety processes, increased visibility, extensive dog information and tools, and comprehensive support—makes it an attractive and secure choice for dog owners and breeders looking for a responsible platform to find new homes for their beloved dogs. While both Blocket and Skaffa Hund provide ways to sell a dog online, there are clear advantages to using Skaffa Hund, and these are increasingly being recognized.
