“I loved going through Pawrade. It kept the money and other issues from the puppy. I knew when I was talking to them they were doing all the financials so I could focus on my puppy. The people at Pawrade were so kind and made it exciting and fun. Loved them!!”

“I was concerned when I stopped being able to open any links to internal messaging. It was also hard to reach anyone on the primary phone number on the website - in fact I never got an answer there. Pam in sales was wonderful, Emily with feeding instructions etc was wonderful too, though never got call backs when I had questions. However, Morgan was exceptional! She noted my issues and calmed my concerns when I nearly cancelled the transaction. All in all, the steps from purchase to coordinated delivery were really good. Five stars if the messaging system had worked - they were coming by text and email 24/7 and Morgan is the only way I learned what those messages were.”

“Our experience with everyone we came in contact with during the process of getting our new puppy was excellent and top notch. We could not have asked for a better experience.

“The journey to purchase a puppy from Pawrade was better than I expected. The care the staff showed for the puppy was worth 10 stars! Their customer service was possibly the best I have ever experienced with any purchase I have made, and I am 70 years old! The transporters were wonderful. They treated our puppy like the star he is. If you are in the market for a new puppy, I highly recommend Pawrade.”

I would recommend this program for anyone who is looking for that special addition to your family. They took my phone calls while waiting for Maverick to join our family.

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.

“We are so happy with tank! He’s off to a great start and is a wonderful little pup. Our vet was so happy with the documentation that was passed along with them and was quite complementary of the breeder. Great job!”

“Pawrade was in contact the majority of the time. At one point, the only issue was that we were waiting for the delivery of the puppy for the next day but couldnt get in touch with anyone to confirm until after 10PM. At the airport, the Nanny was in such a rush, he took a pic, checked ID and said the papers are in the carrier and headed back inside. Puppy is happy and seem to be healthy. We have a vet appt coming up to confirm.”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with this process. Pawrade was in constant contact with me throughout and made sure everything went through without a hitch. Our new puppy arrived and immediately took right to us, like she knew she was coming home and couldn’t wait to cuddle. The first thing she did when she came inside the house was find a toy and take it directly to our cat. They were instant best friends! We’re sooo happy with our new addition.”

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 →
