“False advertising about any type of training, interaction with other dogs except litter mates which was verified by a conference call with breeder, and very difficult to get pictures and videos other than what is posted in the beginning. I would not use Pawrade again and should have done more due diligence on what I was getting into. Puppy arrived safe and healthy and I am glad to have my fur baby. ”

“The process was pretty straightforward with what we needed to do and they have a concierge reach out which is nice to get our questions answered. The only issue I had was there was some communication gaps between the concierge and the breeder. But everything work out great and we love our new puppy! ”

“Very smooth. I wanted to zoom with the breeder, which Pawrade coordinated to ensure the puppy was happy and the parents were well taken care of. They kept me updated and answered all questions. Ground Transport updated my daily as to status and ETA. Our puppy is healthy and happy and adjusting very easily! ”

“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.

“This whole process and experience has been truly incredible. We feel so lucky to have come across Pawrade in our search for a mini golden doodle puppy. Elias came today and he is perfect in every way. We are so grateful! He is absolutely the most precious, sweet puppy and he is basically potty trained at 8 weeks! Also, the transportation service was smooth as could be. I highly recommend Pawrade. We couldn't be happier! ”

“Lettie, who we now call Pinky is doing great. She's healthy, happy, loves to give kisses. Clearly the breeder is caring for her puppies. PawRade was easy to work with. It was smooth transaction having Pinky come from Indiana to Florida. "Wags on Wheels" kept us updated on pinky's travels. She was more adorable than her pictures. We are all in love with her.

“What a great experience! From the very beginning Pawrade staff was very involved. They answered my questions quickly. I found my new fur baby in Missouri. The breeders were very friendly we meet up at a spot a little closer to where we were spending the night. They arrived early with our puppy. The process was amazing.

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 →
