What is Animal Direct

Animal Direct rehome can be thought of as Amazon, but made specifically for pets. At it's core, the app allows you to browse through pets in a many categories ranging from the typical cats and dogs, to fish, birds, exotic pets and reptiles! You can browse by location, breed, age and more. Listings can be displayed in a list, on a map or gallery view.

Animal Direct has a search filters with pertinent characteristics for a narrower search

To get set up, one must create an account first. This can be done via social media or your own personal email. Once you agree to their terms, you are prompted to set up your profile. If you intend on selling a pet, a profile is necessary.

Getting Around

The interface is what you would expect in most marketplace apps. Tapping on the menu icon exposes a heap of choices. You can view your profile, post an ad, view your ads, view alerts and check your saved favorites. You can also view recently added pets, search for pets in your immediate vicinity, do a general search, view all pets and pet supplies. We didn't expect the last one which was a nice touch. Dog Breed Indentifier is also on the menu and is a bold feature. Simply upload a pic of any dog breed and it will let you know what you're looking at! This could be very useful if you go in person to assess a pet and want to verify that the owner is correct in their assertion of what breed they are selling. We downloaded some pictures of dogs online and put the identifier to the test. It was mostly accurate, so it does work!

The perfect fit

Browsing pets is seamless. When viewing listings, be from gallery mode or using the "search around me" function, listings appear with location information, the age of the pet, breed, pictures of the pet, price and a short description. You also can see information about the seller.
