“A wonderful experience from start to finish. Gidget was delivered smelling fresh and wagging her tail furiously! The driver and assistant were kind, courteous and prepared with paperwork, etc. They kept me informed of their estimated arrival time and made their final call to me 30 min before arriving, almost to the minute. She is settling into her new home and is currently curled up on my lap asleep! I highly recommend Pawrade. So far, everything has been smooth sailing!”

“Jolene has been a welcome joy to our family! She's very loving & playful. We were concerned she might miss her parents & siblings but she attached herself to us right away. We met with the breeder three days ago to pick her up which went very smoothly thanks to all the help from Pawrade.”

“I love and am sooo pleased with my new Aussiedoodle Issy!!!! She couldn't be more suited to myself and my extended family. She already on the first three nights slept 7-9 hours in her padded crate covered. She potties outside 95% of the time. Very playful and knows her name. Thank you so much for your excellent customer service. Blessings Lisa Feist”

“I am in LOVE with my puppy, Cooper (Blaze,) and Pawrade FAR exceeded my expectations! I was very skeptical about buying a puppy online with all the scams out there. After researching Pawrade, its process from pre-screening breeders, saying no to puppy mills, health guarantee and more, I found my puppy and reached out with my list of additional questions, Pawrade responded quickly, answered my questions, gave me additional information, provided safe and secure options for payment and for my puppy to be delivered to me. Michaela, Shannon Gregor/Travel Manager, Donna Conner/Customer Service Liaison and the PetPay Team made the process enjoyable and so easy from start to finish! I highly recommend considering Pawrade! ”

“We are so delighted to have our new pup, Penny (aka Stella). She came to us with lots of TLC and is already a wonderful member of the family. The other pup with us, 8 year-old Bode, is a great BIG brother and while there are some "learning opportunities" (the Yorkie in her) still ahead of us with potty training, she is a dear little girl and we all love her. Pawrade is fabulous! They say what they believe and mean what they say. Thank you, thank you.”

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.

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 →
