🐕‍🦺 What’s new?

The new Živalnik Pets Marketplace has been designed for everyone who loves animals – from pet owners and certified breeders to pet shops, shelters, clubs, and associations across the Adriatic region and Europe.

Our mission is clear: To become the #1 GOTO place for anyone looking for a pet or anything they need for them.

🧬 Supporting responsible and pedigree breeding

One of the most important updates of the new platform is its commitment to promoting responsible and pedigree breeding.

✅ Verified breeders, who breed according to official standards and regulations, can now publish pedigree animal listings for free.
💡 Meanwhile, unverified breeders or those without valid breeding permits will need to pay a small listing fee.

This change helps reduce unverified “backyard” ads, improve listing quality, and build user trust. Živalnik.si is becoming a place where responsible breeders take the spotlight, and pet lovers can find their new companions safely and transparently. 🐶🐱
