“This was an amazing experience, from our days of getting emails that new puppies were available to seeing our puppy in the hands of the drivers. This was a white glove experience and I couldn't have asked for more. Accurate descriptions on the puppy, the training, the socializations. Our Maltipoo puppyhas been interacting with our 9-year old/70-lb boxer since Day 2 with no issues. Paper/pad training has been a breeze because it was familiar. Crate training - a breeze. Obvious that our pup was familiar with human interaction - not skittish or defensive. Would recommend to anyone looking for concierge-level service for their next fur baby.”

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.

“Although very skeptical about getting a puppy on line with all the scams,everything turned out fine.Very safe app to use. The worst part was waiting the 2 weeks for her to get to 2lb or 12 weeks,lol. She arrived perfect, so darn cute,just as she looked on her pictures and description. She is already the love of our life although my husband stole her heart,she follows him everywhere.She passed her vet check with flying colors.We would definitely recommend Pawrade for those looking for a puppy.They also answer any and all questions in a very timely manner.”

“It was a pleasure working with Pawrade when we purchased our Havanese puppy! He was our first pup in 30 years and Pawrade was there for us every step of the way with information about how to take care of a new puppy! Pawrade has excellent communications and service during the process and in following up after we got Mojito home. Highly recommend Pawrade!”

“For the most part my experience with Pawrade was a positive one; however, a few things that I did not like were it seemed once I paid my questions weren't answered as timely as they were before paying and the 15 days from paying till actually receiving my puppy. Once picked up at the breeders the transporter made the over 900 miles here in a day. Overall, I would still recommend Pawrade if you are looking for a new best friend. They are legit and I now have my precious new puppy whom I am absolutely in love with already!”

“From start to finish, our experience with Pawrade was nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL! Truly exceptional in every way. The customer service was outstanding, and the entire team was always one step ahead—keeping us informed, answering questions, and making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Purchasing a puppy can feel overwhelming, but Pawrade made everything smooth, trustworthy, and exciting. We were connected with top-notch breeders, every transaction felt safe and professional, and now we are a very happy couple with our new fur baby! 🐶❤️ None of this would have been possible without the excellence and care of Pawrade. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be recommending them to our friends and family. Thank you, Pawrade, for helping make our dreams come true!”

“I am absolutely thrilled with my puppy, Willow Bradone Pryor! She is now venturing out of our arms and into the Playpen with all new Toys and having a wonderful time. I thought she'd be tired; however, She just keeps gathering steam! You all have been so helpful the entire time; I've really appreciated it. She is beautiful, and so curious. I particularly liked the guys who drove her here. They let me know every once in a while everything was fine, when the weather was so bad; and the Puppies were always okay and happy. Thank you so much, Susie Pryor”

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 →
