“Our puppy was delivered to us sick. He was coughing and sneezing with his nose dripping and dried secretions around both his mouth and his nose. Luckily we already had an appointment with our vet for the next day. We've had him for about a week and his cough is gone but he still has a very snotty nose. He goes back to the vet in a couple of days for another check up. Don't get me wrong, we absolutely love this little guy, but we were very disappointed in him arriving sick. We were also told that his dew claws were removed and they weren't and that he would come with his registration and again we did not receive it. ”
Pawrade Reviews: 19,144 verified customer reviews from real families
Real families, real puppies, real homecomings — collected after delivery from verified Pawrade customers. This is what happens when a puppy is examined by a licensed veterinarian before it travels, a named person walks you through every step, and the breeder is paid only once your puppy is home.
“It was a pleasure dealing with Pawrade. Our Golden Doodle puppy arrived safe and sound. He is adorable and everything that we were told is true. He is a real love bug and as playful as can be. Buddy adapted to our home immediately. I would recommend anyone searching for a puppy contact you. ”
“I was so hesitant to purchase a puppy online. I didn't want to have anything to do with puppy mills and rescuing a dog during Covid was difficult at best....there were just too many people in the New York area who wanted to adopt and the supply could not meet the demand. I was researching online and came upon Pawrade...and I'm so glad I did. From my first phone call to our new puppy being delivered to our door, the staff and process could not have been any better. All my questions were answered and the entire team at Pawrade was patient and always responded in a timely manner. We love our little guy! Thank you Pawrade!”
“The initial buying went incredibly smooth. Molly is an incredibly sweet pup and I am glad I found her. There were some delays in her transportation, tho and the plans kept changing. While I know some circumstances aren't in control it would have been nice for proactive communication. ”
“The process of viewing and purchasing our puppy Atticus was very seamless. What started out, on a Sunday night, as just browsing a site to look at puppies, quickly turned into putting down a deposit. Communication is everything to me and from the beginning it has been top notch. From inquiring about the puppy and receiving a response within minutes, down to the delivery of the puppy. Given the fact that we started look at Atticus (formerly Moose) in early February, at that point he was only 8 weeks old, we knew it would be some time before he would be delivered to us. From the initial purchase, to the concierge service of receiving a person to communicate with via the breeder and another to help organize his travel, I couldn't be happier. There was never a time I reached out that my questions weren't answered. Our puppy has had his first vet visit and all came back well with our pup. I couldn't be happier. If you are looking to purchase a pup, Pawrade is the way to go. ”
“It was great dealing with Pawrade. They answered my queries very promptly. The staff are being friendly. ”

“Wonderful puppy love her to death”
“I always wanted to have my own pet, and one day I was looking through internet to buy a dog and I came across to this website at first I was worried about being scammed but TRUST MY WORDS THE PUPPY I BOUGHT FROM THIS WEBSITE IS THE BEST THING EVER HAPPENED TO ME, they are very professional and they guided me through all the steps I really recommend this website if you want to buy a puppy, I already told few of my friends who also wanted to buy a puppy about this website, You can trust this website 100%. I LOVE MY POMSKY”
“Like others, I was skeptical and very concerned about supply chain sourced from puppy mills. I researched the org and after speaking with my sales rep came to understand the value prop- quality breeders do not have resources to field the wave of unqualified/suitable buyers. I really appreciated the step by step process of purchase to delivery with very detailed guidance on how to be prepared for your puppy, what the puppy's status was from routine health needs perspective and areas of concern to be vigilant about with having a new puppy. Was white glove experience and by the way, the puppy is beyond wonderful and even better than his adorable profile. Now if the dating apps could accomplish the same ;)”
“Pawrade was incredibly helpful from our initial interest rate right through to the dog being delivered at our door. They really helped us find the perfect addition to our family”
“Very professional service every step of the way. They make the process really easy. Great communication during the process. Our puppy was delivered to our home after a 12 hr drive by a puppy nanny. She is very cute and healthy. We are thrilled to have her home! I would recommend Pawrade! ”
“it was an amazing experience , from the first contact till I got my new puppy at home. Pawrade kept me informed about the process, payment process was super easy and answered all my questions /concerns. ”
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.”
“A very easy transaction with a reputable breeder that provided a lot of information.”
“He is a happy healthy puppy and the contacts at Pawrade are terrific- snafu with the travel dept though. Not great communication and my pup was delivered to the incorrect address and at 6:00 in the morning!”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process for my TWO new little loves! Thank you for helping me complete my family! ”
“Thank you for all of your help, answering all of my questions and helping me to feel comfortable adjusting to my new baby. I loved her the moment I saw her. ”
“This was our very first puppy, and everyone at Pawrade made things a lot easier. I had lots of questions throughout the whole process, even trying to figure out the best breed for our family. I am very happy with everyone I had the pleasure to interact. I highly recommend this site to purchase a dog.”
“We are so happy with our beautiful new addition to our family. Our beautiful new Morkie, Suzy arrived well taken care of and adjusted perfectly into our home. She is the sweetest puppy and a joy to be around. April our puppy nanny brought her even earlier then we expected and it was a wonderful surprise. Peter our puppy concierge was specular with answering all our questions and was very patient with us. We love pawrade and will recommend it highly to anyone interested in getting a happy beautiful puppy. ”
“The process was so easy. Pawrade was always there and kept me updated throughout the process. I love it”
“So far the entire process went great. Your customer service is outstanding. Transportation went well. I was referred by a friend and I have referred others. We are in love with Milo (logyn). ”
“Teddy is a loving sweet puppy. He was crate trained and paper pad trained when we got him. ”
“She is so adorable and have sooo much energy I love her”
“I loved going through Pawrade. Everybody I dealt with was very helpful. If I ever need another puppy I will make sure that I go through them. ”
“I was skeptical at first when I looked online. Then I made the call to the office and spoke with them. After our discussion on how and what to expect I made the decision to go ahead and purchase Diesel. I am so glad I did and the customer service from the start to the delivery was outstanding. We will definitely come back and buy another puppy from Pawrade. I also can highly recommend this company and the outstanding employees”
“We couldn't be happier with the new addition to our family. Our French Bulldog puppy Jewel, (now Annabelle), has been an absolute pleasure so far. The entire Pawrade team made this a very exciting and pleasurable experience. The application process, the consistent follow through, and the steady updates on our puppy's trip from Texas to Massachusetts helped make this process far less stressful than it could have been. We have already wholeheartedly recommended Pawrade to our family and friends. Thanks to all of you with the Pawrade team. Jeff, Kay, and Annabelle”
“A positive and seamless experience.”
“We adopted 2 Corgi puppies (sisters). Overall it was a great experience and the dogs arrived healthy and happy. Anyone I dealt with at Pawrade was extremely professional and helpful. The only issue we had was that the breeder was difficult to communicate with and after several attempts of asking for additional pictures and videos we only received a couple of very poor quality pics. This made the experience a bit stressful as we started to doubt that we were actually going to receive the dogs we paid for. Luckily there was really no issue other than a breeder that didn't seem to have access to much technology. I'd highly recommend Pawrade vs supporting a puppy mill. ”
“I was very hesitant about purchasing from online. But let me tell you this is the BEST company. So honest and was always there to answer the many questions we had. My husband and I drove 15 hours to go pickup Reba, well now named Lucy for Lucy the Lemon beagle. She is the cutest thing and is doing extremely well on the long drive. I received all of her papers and some food. The breeders assistant was great and gave me the directions and it was a smooth transition. I will definitely recommend Pawrade to all my friends and family. Thank you Dawn J.”
“We just got back from our first vet visit and we got a 100% clean Bill of health. Our little puppy is perfect. I highly recommend this company and would use them again. The level of communication and transparency was amazing. From the electronic documents to delivery service everything went as smoothly as it could have. From the day we picked our little furball to the actual delivery was about 4 weeks which I thought was great. And lastly the payment service Petpay made the transfer of funds legally safe and secure. All around amazing. ”

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.
