“I would use Pawrade again. My only reason for not giving a five star rating would be the transport. After enlisting the help of a trainer, Piper (Fairy ) came with crate aggression, numerous ticks and is scared of people and dogs. I know this was not the fault of the breeder. Transport guys were nice, but something and probably not on purpose happened that has left an imprint on Piper. The good news is the trainer and I are trying to correct this. Please let the breeder know that I would use her again and I know she would not send a puppy out like that Sincerely Sandy & Piper”

“I was skeptical about this dog site…I’ve been following it for quite awhile…As much as I don’t like dog breeding to make money…the ones who abuse this …. I got the sweetest Pom today… Everything was smooth and easy… You may talk to a few different people, but everyone is on the same page…I am happy with their service… The drivers who dropped of my sweetness were so nice and friendly… I could tell they enjoyed their job working together as a team..👍❤️🙏 I would recommend this site👍”

“Pawrade staff did well. However, I would like to let you know that the transporter of my Pup put so much perfume all over her and she is a teacup. I almost gagged when I smelled it and immediately had to give her a bath at midnight. I would recommend that when you choose a transporter that they be told not to cover up smells with perfumes. My previous transporter, make sure that the pups were bathe before they came to my house. I really appreciated that and there was no awful perfume.”

“Pawrade was recommended to me by friends who love their pup, and I’m so grateful. Every interaction I had with a team member was incredible, these folks are kind and will guide you through the pet adoption process with care. Every time I called, someone answered right away which was such a surprise at first but just shows their commitment. I even called post adoption with a question that would actually have been better suited for insurance, but they resolved it. Most importantly, I’m so in love with my pup and would absolutely use Pawrade again in the future.”

“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.

“From the very beginning of the process until the moment Chu-Chu arrived safely at my home, my experience with Pawrade was excellent. As a first-time customer purchasing a puppy through an online broker, I naturally had many questions. Every representative I worked with was professional, courteous, patient, and responsive. Donna, Liz, Reagean, Ashley, Brenda, and the rest of the team consistently kept me informed and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. xpress Puppies did an outstanding job transporting her from Missouri to North Carolina. They kept me updated during her trip, answered my questions promptly, and delivered her safely. Chu-Chu arrived alert, healthy, and in excellent condition. Within 24 hours of arriving home, she was eating, drinking, playing, and settling in beautifully. My veterinarian examined her the next day and was very pleased with her overall health. She has already become a beloved member of our family. Overall, I couldn't be happier!”

“This is my second time buying a puppy from Pawrade, both Pomeranians. Pawrade exceeded my expectations three years ago when I bought my first one and they exceeded my expectations on my second. I know if one day I can convince my girl on getting a third Pomeranian Pawrade with out a doubt will be who I'm using in the future. Thank you to all the staff that was with me all the way throught . Hope to do business agian.”

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 →
