“Once the puppy has arrived to me, we have bonded right away. He follows me everywhere in the house or the yards. He is very playful and he is cute. The driver did very well in caring for puppy and delivering him faster than I had anticipated. You guys did very good and I am giving you an excellent commendation and I would not hesitate to recommend you to a friend or family members. Truly, Frantz Alcide/Keaton”

“Our experience was excellent and seamless. Everyone answered all questions and concerns we had timely. The transportation service offered was an added bonus. Sheri and Cory with Furry Trails were so professional and kind. They delivered our little pomeranian right to our front door. We are so excited to have Tank Maximus as part of our family. We would definitely use your service again and refer to our family and friends. Thank you!”

“Everything went fine except I was given the impression I was going to pick my pup at at her actual breeder but it wasn’t and the breeder I picked her up at didn’t have answers to my questions. Also, the actual tag didn’t accompany her rabies vaccination documents and my vet said you need both for proof. I do love my puppy she is so sweet and my son was glad I didn’t have to take payment with me that Petpay took care of that.”

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.

“Uriah, now Jake is nothing but joy. He keeps us smiling all day. He was to the vet today for his check up and is in good health. He does have 2 adult teeth impacting 2 baby teeth that did not fall out and now have to be pulled. I am surprised the breeders vet didn’t catch that or was not mentioned to me. Other than that we are very happy to have him and will live in a house of love.”

“I can't tell you how much we appreciate each & every one of you @ Pawrade for your kindness, patience, professionalism & true love for what you do. You obviously seem to take your jobs seriously & truly care about seeing these animals go to loving homes. I hope that is truly a priority with the rewarding job each of you has. Seeing others adopt these precious animals into their families is just as special for them as it is for the fur-babies getting a new forever home! Each step in the process is very well-coordinated & planned for a flawless transition, so these babies are not stressed & everything flows smoothly without a hitch. Each Concierge is so helpful & follows-up with reminders & instructions. They are always attentive & quick to respond to your questions & listen to your concerns. Thanks to the Pawrade team we couldn't have had a better experience! SKEETER has already stolen our hearts!🐾💕”

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 →
