The long lockdowns and many working from home appear to be important reasons for many Dutch people to expand the family with a puppy. Startup and online platform Bazoeki, together with market leader in pet specialty stores Pets Place, will guide these new owners through the proliferation of marketplaces and shadowy providers. The aim of the cooperation is to make the puppy market more transparent and to combat illegal trade. Puppy against loneliness According to Bazoeki founders Suzanne van der Vliet and Joris Kuijper, two young entrepreneurs with a great love for dogs, so-called 'shoppers' are an increasing problem during corona. “We are concerned that some people think they have found an easy solution to boredom and loneliness with a puppy. The wish is often to have the animal at home today," says Kuijper. “Add to this that this rapidly increasing demand has made the puppy trade very lucrative,” adds Overgaauw. “Last year mongrel dogs were offered for just under 1000 euros. Moreover, foreign puppies are in many cases still too young and unvaccinated against rabies.” “We are convinced that this market must become transparent and safe. With the help of Pets Place, we expect to be able to make a real impact in the industry,” says Kuijper. Ard Malenstein, CEO of Pets Place, is also enthusiastic about the new partnership. “We know how much love and joy a pet can bring into someone's life, but a dog should never, ever be an impulse purchase. We therefore see the importance and necessity of a reliable match site such as Bazoeki. By joining forces, we want to clean up the market and put animal welfare first. It's time for a breath of fresh air," said Malenstein. We therefore see the importance and necessity of a reliable match site such as Bazoeki.

Baas zoekt dier When Kuijper and van der Vliet went looking for a loyal four-legged friend, they encountered a problem that many a future owner has to deal with. “You soon end up on online marketplaces where, in addition to refrigerators and sofas, litters of puppies are also offered for sale. And what about unclear advertising texts and breeders who sometimes offer more than twenty different dog breeds?” explains Kuijper. “We could no longer see the wood for the trees, so we decided to take the plunge.” After a year and a half of exploring and researching, the two started at the end of 2019 with Bazoeki, a corruption of 'Baas Zoekt Dier'. With its platform, Bazoeki wants to help both new owners and breeders to find the right match between puppy and owner. “We now work with more than two hundred Dutch dog breeders, each of whom meets our Bazoeki standard. This means that they not only meet the legal requirements, but also the additional health conditions that have been drawn up together with veterinarians such as Dr. Overgaauw," says Kuijper. “We also always visit the breeder ourselves as part of our screening process. Finally, we maintain good contact with both the breeder and owner to ensure that everyone is satisfied in the end: the breeder, the owner and most importantly, the puppy.” “We also always visit the breeder ourselves as part of our screening process.
