Trust & Safety | PetSafe explained for buyers

PetSafe is designed to make paying a deposit for a pet safer and secure.

Instead of sending money directly to a trusted breeder, your deposit is held securely by Freeads Pets & best of all, it's FREE for our VIP members.


How it works:

  • Find your next forever pet by browsing our 1000's of gorgeous pet adverts.
  • Click the "send a deposit request" button on the advert.
  • We'll then ask the breeder if they will let you place a deposit on their pet.
  • Once the breeder accepts or rejects this, well notify you instantly.
  • If accepted, you can pay the deposit amount requested by the breeder.
  • Your deposit is held by Freeads until you have visited the pet.
  • Confirm a visit & release your PetSafe deposit, when you're ready to collect your pet.
  • The deposit is transferred to the breeder, at which point it is non refundable by Freeads.


Why use PetSafe:

  • You stay in control of your deposit.
  • All breeders must verify themselves before they can accept PetSafe payments.
  • You can cancel at any time prior to releasing your deposit.
  • Trusted by thousands of pet buyers & breeders across the UK.


Using PetSafe gives you confidence when reserving a pet and avoids the risks that come with direct payments.
