“All of was wonderful thanks so much ”
“I ha e to say I'm 50/50 on how this all went, I feel that you have to many departments during the process, such as as soon as the sales rep is done it goes to ownership, transport, health. Once the sales done and starts to go to the next process I feel the sales person should be checking on all other departments to make sure all is done as told to the customer cause in my case the transport company failed to pick up the puppy but the ownership department didn't even k ow this then the transport department didn't check with transport or the breeder to make sure that the puppy was picked up. So after the missed pick up I was told a date while waiting the breeder didn't agree with pick up times and then was kicked off the program my money was reimbursed to me then later that day was told I can repurchase the dog and get a sooner date of pick up when that day came no pick up happened again I found myself making all the calls and doing Paerades job after the amount of money I was spending. ”

“Love this website! Everything was easy and smooth. We almost got scammed days before I found you guys! I'm so glad we found such a trustworthy website! Everyone was super helpful and they had a great attitude. From start to finish it was perfect and our pup arrived yesterday and she's so adorable! I would definitely recommend this site for your next pup! I also found that all the workers seem to be true dog lovers and made sure they gave us all the info to insure the best care of the dog. Thanks guys!! Brynn is happy and running around as we speak! Awesome way to get a pup! ”
“Absolutely amazing service. Pawrade obviously puts a lot of effort into getting their breeders, employees, and customers to ensure a seamless experience. Puppy Health is the number 1 priority for them, and it definitely shows. ”

Every review is from a verified customer and posted as written. We read each one, reply when we can, and thank the families who keep sending us their puppy’s first-day photos.
Airport meets and doorstep deliveries, first nights home, Meet-a-Breeder interviews, Pawrade Live — every touchpoint of the process, told by the people who lived it.
“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.
You, the breeder and your Concierge in one thread — every message logged.
Meet the breeder and the puppy live. Calls are recorded and kept on file.
A real person, daily 9AM–11PM EST. Calls are recorded and retained.
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.
Vetted and signed to the No Puppy Mill Pledge before a single puppy is listed.
A full physical of the actual puppy — not the parents’ paperwork.
Recorded on the Veterinary Health Report and reviewed by our Health First team.
A positive fecal or a cough moves the date until the breeder’s vet resolves it. The sale stands; the puppy decides when.
Communicated before travel and uploaded to your PetPay account; a hard copy travels with the puppy.
3 years included, extendable to 10 — run by PetPay, not the breeder.
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.
Supplies, first 72 hours, potty and crate basics — sent before arrival.
We ask every family to see their own vet within three days, and explain why.
Your named advocate answers the “is this normal?” questions, from reserve to the first weeks.
Parks, pet stores and clinic floors wait until vaccines are done — and we tell you so.
“They were in high communication — updates, checklists of supplies, and support through the full delivery process. Start to end I felt supported and clear.”
“So happy with our Delilah. The entire experience was great. They were very reassuring and always a quick response.”
“We are so pleased at the services we received from Pawrade. From helping us find the right puppy to helping us get him delivered to our front door the team was second to none. They took all the guess work that can come up when finding the right puppy. My family would highly recommend Pawrade.”
“I got my new standard poodle from Pawrade they were very helpful in getting my new puppy. The transporter that transport my puppy to me was very helpful they let me know the whole way how she was doing. Maggie is playful energetic. If I was to get another puppy I would go through Pawrade.”
“Everything was professionally done we were very satisfied with Pawrade The only issue we had was the vet papers we received with Janie We're not signed by an actual veterinarian so we have to redo all of the vaccinations to confirm that she actually has them The vet check went very well and she's very healthy puppy Thanks again for everything I don't know how to upload our 72-hour vet check”
“I have now gotten two dogs from you guys and couldn't of went any better. And we love our babies! Thank you! ”
“Absolute perfection every step of the way with Pawrade. The puppy concierges, Jenell & Sara were quick to answer any questions and very helpful with additional information. The travel and prep concierge, Carli, was very clear and concise regarding paperwork and planning. Our puppy nanny, April, who traveled from Indiana to Maryland with our puppy, was incredible. Our sweet little guy arrived healthy and happy. Last but not least, the breeder was available to zoom to see the puppy before the final paperwork was completed. I would strongly recommend Pawrade to anyone looking to add a healthy and happy puppy to their family. A very ethical and caring company. ”
“Only thing I would negatively comment on is the communication with pawrade reps wasn't what I hoped it would've been. They are slow to respond to emails or messages via the website at times. My wife and I are deathly afraid of all of the online scams when it comes to buying puppies and when the messages and emails stopped we felt that is exactly what happened. But we were relieved when the messages finally came along with our new puppy which we adore. ”
“I was greeted with kindness and enthusiasm from the beginning. Every step of the way was done. With professionalism. Sues, the ground transport driver was so delightful. What an awesome women. Very smooth delivery. Tha k you so very very much. Many blessings to you. Scooter passed his wellness check with flyi ”
“Experience was great and we are loving our new puppy! The only feedback that I have is that it took 3 days for puppy to arrive and I could have had him flown here faster. I'm not sure which form of transportation is best…seems like a long time for puppy to travel in a van…”
“Definitely satisfied I would recommend for anyone looking for a good dog ”
“It was a great experience, we were always in constant contact, and the mist pleasant people we have ever dealt with, we thank you”
“Awesome and easy process. The puppy came as promised and is amazing!”
“Absolutely the smoothest and easiest way to get two sweet puppies. From Tom to Jade to Destiny to Reagan and of course Hammond's (aka Alfie now) breeder, the experience was so wonderful and exciting. Alfie is the cutest, most lovable, smart, happy, tail waggin little boy. He seems very at home here. He and Astrid (aka Honey) are best buddies. They play, then when tired, they pile up on each other. They both have made this house such a happier place. Thank you just isn't enough to tell you how wonderful you all are. Kathy K”
“It was great experience. ”
“Janelle is Absolutely Precious!!! Your company is very professional and automated. Ty for a beautiful puppy!!! 🐶💕”
“This is our first dog. The Pawrade team has been amazing worth communication and providing information every step of the way. We could not have been more happy with our experience especially since pet owning is a new experience. Thank you! ”
“Overall I had a great experience with Pawrade! It was a lot of fun to talk to my "Puppy Concierge" and learn about prospective puppies. I had spent a lot of time on my own trying to determine exactly what I was looking for, which did help narrow things down quickly. Everyone was really nice and extremely friendly like they are cheering you on along the way! I think for my next puppy I would go pick them up myself but arranging transport was generally smooth as well. There was a hiccup or so along the way which happens, but Tania reached out and helped answer my questions and sort out any issues. My puppy and I are settling in to our new home and she has been having a great time meeting people. Thank you to Pawrade I am having a blast with my little bundle of energy.”

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 →
Lois, Shannon, Jason, Tara — the names families thank are the names you'll be calling. Daily 9AM – 11PM EST.
