“We were so excited to finally get Bentley (Benson) home. He is so cute and has a huge attitude for such a small boy. I can see right now that training him will be a challenge that I hope I am up for. Thank you for sending us our baby boy!”

“Communication” — because it’s never just you and a breeder.

You, the breeder, and your named Pawrade advocate — in every conversation, on every channel. Guiding, educating, and keeping the record. You are protected.

Puppy first, before the review

A strict health protocol is why “arrived healthy” shows up so often.

Pawrade pioneered proactive health care for newborn puppies — analysis, prevention and intervention before a puppy ever travels. No puppy leaves for a Pawrade family until a licensed veterinarian has examined it, and if anything needs attention, the trip waits. The puppy’s health comes before anyone’s calendar.

Puppy first, every step of the way. ♡
Our Puppy First Approach →
Screened breeders only

Vetted and signed to the No Puppy Mill Pledge before a single puppy is listed.

Licensed-vet exam, 3–5 days before travel

A full physical of the actual puppy — not the parents’ paperwork.

Fecal test, vaccines, deworming

Recorded on the Veterinary Health Report and reviewed by our Health First team.

A finding pauses the trip

A positive fecal or a cough moves the date until the breeder’s vet resolves it. The sale stands; the puppy decides when.

Findings shared with you

Communicated before travel and uploaded to your PetPay account; a hard copy travels with the puppy.

Health Guarantee, independently administered

3 years included, extendable to 10 — run by PetPay, not the breeder.

“Thanks to the breeder who did such a great job raising, vaccinating and caring for our puppy. She arrived in great health and instantly bonded with our family.” — Kevin B., Loveland, CO · Olivia, Mini Dachshund
Set up to succeed

We prepare the family, not just the puppy.

A good placement is one that lasts. So the same team that screens breeders and reads the vet exam also teaches new owners what the first days, weeks and months look like — before the puppy arrives.

The Puppy Guide

Supplies, first 72 hours, potty and crate basics — sent before arrival.

72-hour vet visit

We ask every family to see their own vet within three days, and explain why.

A concierge who teaches

Your named advocate answers the “is this normal?” questions, from reserve to the first weeks.

Where not to go yet

Parks, pet stores and clinic floors wait until vaccines are done — and we tell you so.

A healthy start for a happy tomorrow. ♡

“They were in high communication — updates, checklists of supplies, and support through the full delivery process. Start to end I felt supported and clear.”

William T. · New York, NY · George, Cavapoo
The checklist William mentions is the Puppy Guide every family receives before arrival — food, crate, the 72-hour vet visit, and where not to take a puppy until its vaccines are done.

“The entire process is well designed to make certain the expectations of all parties are met while ensuring it is not at the expense of the puppy. The communication chain was professional and thorough. The costs were better than reasonable, and for our puppy's breed and location, it was a significant savings.”

“I truly cannot thank you enough for bringing Georgia into my life. She is, without a doubt, the absolute best dog I have ever owned. ❤️ She is incredibly sweet, smart, funny, loving, and has the BIGGEST personality. She makes me laugh every single day, and everyone who meets her completely falls in love with her. My friends are constantly joking that they’re going to steal her from me or asking if Georgia can come over for a sleepover. 😂 She has brought so much happiness and love into my life, and I genuinely could not have asked for a better dog. She isn’t just my puppy—she is my little sidekick and my literal best friend. Thank you for giving me Georgia. I will forever be grateful that she found her way to me. She is so incredibly loved, and I honestly can’t imagine my life without her. ❤️”

“We really had the best experience using Pawrade and have told so many friends and family members about how easy it was. I loved all the communication, the prompt responses, the message boards, the fact they didn't have to always log in to a site or to an app. Having my email go to it automatically was convenient. I also loved the guidance about preferred pet transport. We wrongly assumed air travel would be less stressful because its shorter, but we changed to ground once I was told the puppy's comfort would be more comfortable. The updates from the driver were also very helpful as he got closer and narrowed down the window of arrival. The only thing I found a little frustrating was the pet pay portal. It was hard to see and read the contracts after they were signed, in the transaction, details were not itemized, and one of the amounts were also wrong. I wish everything could be done in one system. Overall we had a great experience and can tell they care about Dogs well being.”

He is healthy, happy, playful, and has such a great personality. You can tell a lot of time and care went into raising him. We absolutely love him and couldn’t have asked for a better puppy.

“Unfortunately, my puppy was delivered injured, and since the day she got home, we have been in and out of vets, and it has been very emotionally taxing on both my puppy and me. I reached out for support, and the tone seemed to change once the puppy was delivered. I feel a bit abandoned after my purchase.”

Pawrade reviews: what customers say about finding a puppy here

Pawrade customer reviews are requested from every family after their puppy is delivered and published as written. Read enough of them and a pattern shows up: people write about the person they dealt with by name — Lois, Shannon, Jason, Tara — about drivers and flight nannies who sent photos along the way, and about a puppy that stepped out of the carrier healthy, ate, played and slept that first night. Many admit they were nervous about finding a puppy online; the reviews are largely the story of that nervousness turning into confidence.

Pawrade is also reviewed independently on Trustpilot, where it holds an Excellent rating from more than 7,500 reviewers — a second, third-party read on the same experience.

Why Pawrade reviews read the way they do

Happy homecomings are designed, not lucky. Every Pawrade breeder is screened and signed to the No Puppy Mill Pledge before a puppy is listed. Every puppy is examined by a licensed veterinarian before it travels, and the findings are shared with the family — Pawrade’s Puppy First Approach to proactive health care for newborn puppies. A named Customer Concierge stays with you from reservation to arrival, every message, call and video call is kept on record, and through PetPay the breeder isn’t paid out until your puppy is home.

Then comes the part most puppy sellers skip: preparing the family. The Puppy Guide, the 72-hour vet visit, and a concierge who answers “is this normal?” for the first weeks are why so many reviews mention feeling supported after the puppy arrived, not just before. See how our process works →
