“Very very impressed!! This was a very protected way for me to purchase and amazing puppy. I felt very confident with every step. Pawrade walked me through this process to protect me, and to protect the breeder from and scams. I trusted the entire process!! The breeders and betted, which gave me confidence. And the breeder had confidence that I would be a good puppy parent. Our vet said that our new puppy was be of the strongest puppies he had seen. Not one issue with the whole process!! Very satisfied and will tell all my friends! Our little Rudy, Shitzu is doing so well, we adore her!!! The breeder was top notch!”

“Working with Pawrade was such a simple process! Everything went as smooth as possible, from payment to receiving my new baby at my front door! They were there every step of the way messaging me and helping me with what I needed to do. Now I have a beautiful Sheltie that I get to love and cuddle. Thank you so much!”

“At first I was hesitant to use an online service. But I couldn't be more impressed. The communication was prompt and thorough. The health and well being of the puppy was always foremost. I'm so happy I found you.”

Deborah F. · Holden, MA

“Really liked how thorough initial communication was. Responsiveness was very good by the Pawrade team. It did get a little bit confusing about how many touch points/people we were assigned. Was not happy that paperwork could not be updated to reflect error/changes. Transport was close to what was expected. Communication from the drivers could have been a little better. But was adequate. They responded very timely to our one question requesting an approximate ETA after 30 hours of no communication. No second communication was provided updating us on actual arrival time, but that was fine. Grace is amazing! So excited to have her.”

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.

“I don't remember the moment when I first saw Hazel come across my feed; I had been feverishly looking at miniature schnauzer puppies after the tragic loss of our little pup Harper who was only 4. Ironically, Harper had come to us after my wife's precious little angel, Lou, also had a catastrophic health situation at 4 as well... so our family has really been hit hard with the loss of Harper, a liver-tan and Lou, a blue merle. All I knew for sure was I just wanted to find a puppy that could help me stop being so sad and start feeling like playing and throwing a ball again. Our other mini schnauzer, Mae, was despondent as well. But late one night as I scrolled through Pawrade I saw: Hazel.. with a blue merle dad and a liver tan mom... and a look in her eye that reminded me so much of Lou. I sent my wife a pic... and she said yes almost immediately. Hazel is a dream! Smart, well-loved, joyous, and my new best friend! Thank you so much.”

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 →
