“Winnie has made a perfect addition to my little doxie family! She's sweet, cuddly, and full of playful energy. Winnie is the second puppy I've gotten from Pawrade as a companion for the first I had gotten a few months ago. They get along so well! Both puppies are happy and healthy. My experience with Pawrade both times has been exceptional :)”

“I had been looking at different breeders for a few months not knowing what to expect or how to get the fur baby to my location. When I found Pawrade it was just what I was looking for. They made the process of finding, purchasing, and recieving my Corgi effortless. They answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. The worst part was waiting for the pup to get old enough to travel. I would recommend Pawrade to anyone looking for a new Pup!”

“We found Pawrade by accident. I was doing a Google search for buying a new dog when I found this site. Not only is the sight awesome all the breeds that is offered, but the pictures of the puppies are fantastic. Once we decided on our puppy the customer service and interaction with the breeder completely blew us away. I can not say enough good things about the entire process. You guys are amazing!”

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.

“First let me say, this is a legitimate site ! Not a scam! I had been trying to buy a puppy for weeks and I was running into scan after scam after scan. Then I found this site and not only do they have a lot of breeds to choose from but they have them at very very reasonable prices. And let me just say that Corbin is amazing and went above and beyond and was in constant contact whether it was his direct job description or not lol Corbin is the reason I have referred this website to at least five of my friends that are looking to get a new puppy ! So happy with this site and the service they provided from beginning to end! ”

“Loved working with Pawrade! Everyone was so kind and took the time to answer my questions. You can tell that their puppies are loved, cared for and healthy. I even forfeited my deposit with another place that I found prior (that turned out to be a puppy mill) to work with Pawrade! We are in LOVE with our new Pup! My only complaint is that they would not extend the 72 hour vet guarantee. NO vet (I called 7 of them) are scheduling out that quickly since covid, they even laughed at me for trying. Aside from that, no complaints! We are pleased and will recommend Pawrade to people we know looking for a fur baby! ”

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 →
