At Harmony Pet Match, we have a strict process in place to ensure that the breeders listed on our website adhere to ethical breeding practices. Here’s how we ensure their commitment to responsible breeding:

1. Thorough Screening: Our team of dedicated staff conducts a comprehensive background check on each breeder prior to listing puppies on our website. This includes verifying their qualifications, licenses and registrations, as well as their reputation in the breeding community.
2. Site Visits: Where possible, we personally visit breeders’ facilities to assess living conditions, animal care and general breeding practices. This ensures that breeders meet our strict standards for ethical breeding.
3. Interviews with the breeders: We conduct in-depth interviews with the breeders to understand their breeding philosophy, practices and policies. This allows us to assess their commitment to the physical and emotional well-being of their dogs, as well as their dedication to raising healthy and well-socialized puppies.
4. Regulatory Compliance: We verify that breeders comply with relevant local and national regulations regarding breeding standards, health testing, vaccinations and proper documentation.
5. Customer Feedback: We encourage our customers to provide feedback on their experiences with the breeders they have worked with through our platform. This allows us to monitor and evaluate breeders’ ongoing compliance with ethical practices.

By implementing these measures, we strive to create a trusted marketplace where individuals can safely find puppies from breeders who prioritize the health, welfare and responsible breeding of their dogs.

At Harmony Pet Match, we have implemented measures to ensure ongoing monitoring and evaluation of breeders’ compliance with ethical practices. Here’s how we ensure ongoing oversight:

1. Customer Feedback: We actively encourage our customers to provide feedback on their experiences with the breeders they have connected with through our platform. This feedback helps us evaluate breeders’ ongoing performance and their commitment to ethical breeding.
2. Regular communication: We maintain open communication channels with both our customers and breeders. This keeps us informed of any concerns or issues and allows us to take appropriate action if necessary.
3. Follow-up inspections: We conduct regular follow-up inspections with breeders to ensure they continue to meet our standards for ethical breeding. This includes ensuring appropriate care and living conditions for their dogs, adhering to health testing protocols, and maintaining their commitment to responsible breeding practices.
4. Ongoing Education: We provide educational materials and information to both our customers and breeders to promote awareness of ethical breeding. This includes sharing guidelines, best practices and updates within the breeding community.

At Harmony Pet Match, we take immediate and decisive action when a breeder does not meet our standards for ethical breeding. Here are the measures we take in such cases:

1. Investigation and Review: When concerns or complaints regarding ethical breeding practices are raised against a breeder, we initiate a thorough investigation. This may include gathering evidence, conducting interviews and assessing supporting documentation.
2. Suspension of Listing: During the investigation period, we suspend the breeder’s listing on our website to prevent further interaction and possible harm to our customers and the affected puppies.
3. Communication and resolution: We maintain open and transparent communication with both the affected customer and the breeder in question. We address the issue, provide the breeder with an opportunity to comment, and work toward a solution that maintains our commitment to ethical practices and the welfare of the animals involved.
4. Termination of Partnership: If the investigation confirms significant violations of ethical breeding practices or the breeder’s unwillingness to correct the problems, we will terminate our partnership with them. This ensures that he can no longer list his puppies on our platform.
5. Referral to Authorities: In serious cases where legal violations or animal welfare concerns are identified, we may refer the breeder to the appropriate authorities or regulatory bodies for further investigation and action.

We take the well-being of our customers and the puppies we place with them very seriously. Our commitment to ethical breeding practices remains unwavering, and we are committed to ensuring a safe and trustworthy platform for individuals seeking puppies from reputable breeders.
