“This is my third puppy that I have purchased from Pawrade. I received numerous pictures whenever I asked for them and everyone was friendly to me. I was a little skeptical on them bringing him by driving my little boy and everything went perfect! I highly recommend Pawrade. The breeder was a wonderful lady in which he had multiple vaccinations, including rabies and his microchip. Thank you to the wonderful breeder that I experienced for my little guy Shadow, previously Pappy.💕💜💕 ”

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.

“What an amazing experience! Who knew purchasing a puppy online could be such a smooth, professional, and educational, process. Pawrade worked with me closely every single step of the way. It started from the moment I expressed an interest in our sweet girl by responding to us almost immediately and continued with answering questions, providing outstanding information to help us be prepared for her arrival, and also helping us get her to us from the breeder who lives thousands of miles away as safely and comfortably as possible. This little girl not only got taken care of very well by two very kind people who obviously love their job, but I got to take the journey with them with an app. I could see where they were, what street they were on and their ETA! Who does that??? Pawrade really wants to make sure these puppies go to homes that they are going to be cared for. What a blessing "Wicket the little Wookie of Norway Rd" has become to our family! Thank you, Pawrade! ❤️ ”

“We are pleased to say how very happy we are with Molly. We changed her name to Molly at first sight! She responded quickly to that name and it stuck ever since! She brings joy to our hearts! Molly gets along with our two other boxers very well. Both of our older girls gave Molly a kidney dance, which indicates that they both welcomed her to the family, which was a beautiful site to see . In fact Molly bosses them around and plays like she's a big fur baby. Thank you so very much and especially the gentleman who brought her to us. Very professional, courteous, and kind. They did their job like pros! We are very happy with the whole experience! Thank you!”

I used a nanny to fly my Jasmine to my nearest airport. It was worth the extra expense and she was wonderful. My puppy had no trauma and was happy to come into my arms!

“The process was easy, once I knew what I needed to do. The most difficult part of the process was choosing what puppy I wanted to adopt. Our puppy's breeder was fabulous! We drove to pick up our puppy, so we were able to meet the breeder. He seemed deeply committed to the care of our puppy, and provided us insight to potential issues that could be minimized with certain interventions on our part.”

“As a first time dog owner and especially to the popular Corgi is hard to navigate thru the many breeders. Especially hearing of puppy mills and thoughts on pet shops. This experience thru Pawrade made it easy. You'd probably pay more than what is in the general area, but to connect to a caring breeder is invaluable and well worth the extra as well as being walked thru the whole process. Available was door to door thru auto transportation, not needing to navigate the local airports. My little guy is 6 months old, sweet and affectionate, almost a month at new home as of this writing and an invaluable addition to the family. ”

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 →
