Pets for Sale in Edinburgh

PetTrader lists pets for sale, adoption and rehoming across Edinburgh from local breeders, private sellers and rescue centres. Every advert shows the seller's area so you can arrange a viewing nearby, and every seller passes a photo-ID and live selfie check before advertising.

Prices follow the breed rather than the area — most UK puppies sell for £500–£3,000 depending on breed, health testing and pedigree, with popular breeds such as French Bulldogs and Cockapoos nearer the top. An advert priced well below the normal range for its breed is a common sign of a scam.

Create a free account, complete the ID check, add clear photos and honest details, then publish. Your first advert is free; after that it is a one-off fee per pet — £9.99 for a dog, £6.99 for a cat and £4.99 for smaller animals. Adverts run for 60 days. Breeders and businesses can list on a monthly or annual subscription instead.

Anyone breeding three or more litters a year, or selling pets commercially, needs a licence from their local council. Ask for the licence number and check it against the council register before you buy, and always see a puppy or kitten with its mother in the home where it was bred.

Yes. Rescues and charities in Edinburgh advertise pets for adoption on PetTrader, and private owners can list a pet for rehoming with or without a fee. Adoption listings are restricted to registered rescue and charity accounts so you know who you are dealing with.
