“We are very happy with our purchase, Seth is a good pup. The process up front was good, when it came time for transportation Morgan is not helpful and very distant with customer service. I left a comment on Facebook and Peter messaged me in response, when Peter stepped in and got management involved transportation went smoother. Peter stayed in contact through out the process, his customer service skills are awesome, he puts you at ease and reaffirmed that we made a good decision purchasing from Pawrade. Overall our experience was good.”

“Absolutely love our puppy but not potty trained as mentioned. Not breeders fault as doggie door would be too dangerous with coyotes in our area. He does not cry or wine to go outside so there lies our problem. Lots of work many accidents! Receiving Vincent so early in the morning was difficult on us older folks (1:00 am) - I contacted puppy express as they did not but once call us on there own! I called them … when Pawrade knew where Vincent they contacted us once. We had no idea all the many pups traveling with Vincent ! Also I was hoping for closer contact with our puppies breeder! ”

“I am so happy with Pawrade. She (Precious) is even more than I could ever imagine. There,s only one thing that I didn,t like was all the e-mails. I'm not good on the computer but you (Kelly) managed to get me through it. But if anyone would want to do business with Pawrade I would give you a 10 star. You and the breeder did an exceptional job. Love and Puppy Kisses, Diane and Precious!”

“After we reserved, the puppy flipper, we would've liked to have quicker responses, especially before pick up. Re do re I'll get home. We still have to send our photo with Flipper whom we have renamed Tucker with the middle name Carlson, was that a name Tucker Carlson? He is one of our favorite conservative talkshow hosts who really has an excellent understanding of what is going on in our country as far as our country going down. We are still not home yet when we get home in about 4 1/2 to 5 hours we will send the photo of ourselves along with flipper whom we have renamed Tucker. ”

“We had been looking for an Olde English Sheepdog for about a year, since last summer. I was having a hard time finding a reputable or even local breeder near me. Then I found Pawrade, read their statements and their mission, reviews and decided this would be a safe place to find a puppy, of any breed. ”

“From the moment I spoke with Amber after looking at your website, I was sure that we had picked the right place and time to get our new puppy. The service was exceptional. Everything about the transaction was smooth and effortless. The team at Paul Ray could not have been more helpful kind, and professional. We have changed his name to Gigi and she loves it. She is growing already and changing every day. We couldn't be more pleased with her, or the process of purchasing her through Pawrade, thank you for everything that you did for your kindness and support with all of our questions being answered immediately. She is everything that she was advertised to be. Thank you all very much. I've already told several people don't even consider going anywhere else if you're looking for the best experience and getting a new puppy.”

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.

“Very well organized from start to finish. From my first call inquiring about my pup, going over all the options & costs keeping in mind the welfare of the pup at every step. In my case my pup was flown home to me. I was given a cargo # which I could check what time he first arrived at the airport, when he was in transit, when he was waiting for 2nd flight & when he arrived. Thank you to Dan, Donna & Cindy for getting me my beautiful pup. Definitely a good experience.”

“I had a great experience with Pawrade. They answered all my questions and if they didn't know the answer they would go find out for me. When I had questions regarding the contract they were able to answer me with certainty and able to clarify some things for me. I would buy a puppy again from here in the future. The pampered delivery service did well in getting here within the allowed time and she was clean when I got her. Gave me papers to sign and handed everything over. Very happy with my new pup.

“She is absolutely beautiful and we love her, although it was very difficult talking to a different person. Every time I called even though the ladies have the notes they could refer to sometimes when you write down notes, you just aren't real specific, so it was like starting a conversation all over again, but most of the ladies I talk to we're very, very nice and very very helpful, and in the end it all worked out. I do believe that information like she lives on a farm and she's never been in a collar harness or leash, and may try to escape and run away is very important. She is very nervous. I understand she's a new puppy, but I was allowed to believe that she was doggie door trained, and the doggie door she had was in a barn, and she ran in the open on a farm.And she is six months old. But like I said, we love her and I'm sure with a little bit of training she will be just fine. Thanks again ”

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 →
