“I found Pawrade after almost getting scammed by social media posts. They were thorough, answered many questions that I had, even after making the sale. For anyone looking for a puppy you won't find other more reputable.”

“I had a very good experience from start to finish using Pawrade to find and deliver my new furry family member. She is in good health and has the same kind of personality that was portrayed in her video. I appreciate the care this company takes to ensure that the pups are being delivered to legitimate pet parents. I would definitely recommend this company.”

“I was a little skeptical using Pawrade at first. Friend thought I might be getting scammed. They were a pleasure to work with and made the transaction of purchasing my Yorkie great. The transporter was so nice and very dog loving to her when he arrived. I would recommend this service as I had a great experience with them. I could call any time with questions that came up after the purchase. Also the transporters keep me up to date the three days they traveled from Oklahoma to Massachusetts. Great experience”

The word that comes up most

“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.

“After getting our little fella ,Gatlin, we decided we needed to get his sister too. The experience was easy with a lot of communication between Pawrade, the breeder and myself. The only glitch was due to the Memorial Day weekend the nanny couldn’t get a flight as there were no stand-by tickets available So, I was reimbursed my nanny fare and booked a flight to Kansas City to pick up my little girl. It was great to meet her breeder and have the privilege of flying her home myself!”

“We received our little Goose (now named Archie) last Wednesday night and have been in love ever since. All of my questions were answered by your team whenever I had them and the transport process from Ohio to Florida was seamless. We took our new pup to the vet yesterday and he was deemed completely healthy and happy which is always a big relief when purchasing a pup sight unseen. He’s settling in very nicely and is so smart and we’re working on crate and potty training. Best money we’ve ever spent with this little guy!”

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 →
