“Pawrade was good about keeping us informed. Time schedule and any updates. we were told that Laser would be crate trained which has not been the case. Also we were told he would receive a good bill of health before his trip. That has not been the case. He is being treated for a parasite, he has irritated conjunctiva,and an unknown bleb on his back. His ears were also filled with wax. If Pawrade is responsible for finding responsible breeders, they failed with this breeder.”

“Initial talks were great. Communication from Delivery and directives were rough. I had to make the call to find out the puppy wasn't coming on the first scheduled date due to breeder's vet. I was told I would get a call when puppy was picked up from breeder--did not happen. Again I initiated the phone call to see if the puppy was on its way. Got a text that the puppy would be arriving sometime on Wednesday. Another text wednesday morning stating delivery would be between 315-415 pm.. Again I made the call at 330 to find out ETA. Text came back not until 5pm. Took puppy to vet on Thursday afternoon and vet found a live lone star tick embedded in puppy. I called and left a message on breeders phone. No return call. Puppy is adorable but now has to have lymes shot given on Thursday and in 4 wks a booster shot. Lynn Dorsey”

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.

“Communication is relentless until the contract on your new puppy is executed. Once contract is Executed Communications come to a Stop, They ask you when you want to pick up your new puppy but they don't communicate if you are Track to pick-up the puppy or when the puppies schedule health check date is, which hinges 100% on when the puppy to be picked up. I had to Request the date, and miraculously!! that day. 2 days later I asked any updates, followed by we are waiting for the records to be uploaded we are still on track for pickup date. Another 4 days go by no update, so i requested a phone call to find out what is going on, only to receive a message on the message board stating there was some confusion and the breeder missed there appointment. So here we are 6 days pass my initial request for update, it took all of 2 hours to take my money and execute a contract but you can figure out any sooner than 6 days that there was some confusion, good job Pawrade way to be on top of things.”

“We didnt like the traveling coordinator she did not give us enough information on the dog food.Taking out and how to feed the dog instructions, she told it was supposed to be in the envelope with the dog papers and it wasn't all I got was treated twice a day and that was it.

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 →
