Animals for sale and services in the United States

BlaBlaPrice does not have confirmed price figures for animals as a group in the United States, because the price depends on the species, age and purpose of each animal. The quickest way to get current offers is to describe the animal or service you need on BlaBlaPrice, and sellers in your area will reply with their own price and terms.

Prices are quoted per animal, and the offer depends on:

  • the species and subcategory, such as dogs, cats, poultry, horses or farm animals;
  • whether the animal is for a home, for breeding or for a farm;
  • its age, health and vaccination records;
  • whether food, a kennel or run, and transport are included.

Federal rules for animal care

The Animal Welfare Act is the main federal law on how animals are treated in the US. Its minimum standards cover housing, handling, transport and veterinary care for animals used in research, teaching, testing and exhibition, and they also apply to dealers. A seller, kennel or farm should be able to show how it meets these standards. Ask for the written care arrangements before you agree a deal.

Service animals

The Americans with Disabilities Act publishes guidance on the term "service animal" and on the service animal provisions in its regulations. If you need a service animal, check that the documents and training match that guidance rather than relying on a general pet certificate. Ask any seller how the animal was trained, not only what the label says.

Season and shelter

The climate in the US is northern hemisphere, with winter from December to February and summer from June to August. Animals kept outdoors, such as poultry, goats or horses, need shelter that works through the winter months, so ask the seller how the animal is housed from December to February. A November request gives you time to arrange shelter before the cold, and a summer request should include shade and water.

Delivery and units

Animals can be sold between New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Phoenix, so ask who arranges transport and whether it is included in the price. Give weights in pounds, pasture and run sizes in acres or square feet, and kennel size in feet and inches. Ask whether the seller's transport meets the Animal Welfare Act standards for animals in transit.

What to write in your request

Name the animal or subcategory you need, its age and purpose, the city where it will be kept, and any records you want to see. Add the food, housing or equipment you need, and your budget. Sellers will then reply with a specific offer.

Get offers through BlaBlaPrice: describe what you need in the chat, and the AI asks for missing details such as age, purpose, city and budget. It then looks through sellers' websites and listings in the US and shows the businesses and prices it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to contact. You can create a request, or browse farm animals or read how it works.
