MyDogBuddy Rebrands To DogBuddy.com A Domain They Bought For $350 On Godaddy

April 3, 2015 by Michael Berkens

Techcrunch covered,  merger of two pet sitting services in Europe.

“MyDogBuddy, has merged with its Spanish rival Bibulu, to become what it claims is the largest offering of its kind, citing a combined 10,000 local dog sitters registered with the platform.”

“The merger also sees a rebranding of the combined entity to the much simpler DogBuddy.com domain.”

DogBuddy.com was purchased at a Godaddy.com Auction back in April 2012 for a whopping $350

According to the story, the company raised a further €1.9 million ($2.1 Million Dollars) in funding from several private and institutional investors.

“DogBuddy enables dog owners in the U.K., Spain, Italy, France and Germany to easily “find a loving home away from home” for their dogs when they go away on weekends, longer holidays, business trips or have to work long hours. Services offered by dog sitters include walking, day sitting and full board.”

Again to the domain investors out there,  do not sell your brandable domains for $350 that is just silly.

There is no sense to register a domain name just to sell it off for pennies on the dollar.

    I don’t think this info is correct. The domain transferred from the original owner between 10-13-2014 and 12-15-2014. I don’t think the new owner paid $350 for the domain. The seller may have bought the domains back in 2011 for $350 but the new owners didn’t buy it for that.

    I am sure if the seller was emailed we could get the correct selling amount.
