“Pawrade made finding our puppy very easy. The communication and support was outstanding. Pawrade answered all of my questions very quickly. It was always great talking directly to a person and not some computer program. We received our puppy and he is in great health. I'm very happy we went through Pawrade to find our puppy.”

“We are so pleased with our darling little papillon girl! She is just what we were searching for over a year. Two previous searches ended in scam or scam like practices. You cannot be too careful. Pawrade was courteous, helpful, and full exposure the entire process. I would do this again with them in the future. Thank you Pawrade.”

“We received our puppy Lacey today and she is a doll. We are very happy. The couple from the escort service, Aaron and Karen were very nice and Lacey was bathed before delivery, she smells brand new. Thank you to Pam and Donna at Pawrade too for they're help in the many questions I had. Hey Pam, she was worth the wait, and my wife can't get enoungh of her. Amazing how things work out. It was fate, she was meant to be ours. Thank you!!”

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.”

“First off, I absolutely LOVE my new baby, little Maltipoo Mabel! (formally Duchess). Everyone at Pawrade was amazing to deal with, from the first conversation, to answering ALL my questions, and FaceTiming with the pup and breeder. She was transported by Ground and everyone stayed in touch with me the entire time, putting me at ease. I thank everyone for such a wonderful, ease-free experience, but mostly for sending this beautiful, cute little girl to me safe & sound!!”

“Odessa is such a sweet puppy. The transporters took very good care of her. She was clean when she arrived here. She is adjusting well. Emily was very helpful doing the process. I can tell that she was exposed to many different situations which makes her able to adjust to her new home easily. She is a joy to have in her in our home. We will take very good care of her.”

“I had a wonderful experience getting our puppy from this company. We purchased a Great Dane for $3,200, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. One of the best parts was the delivery—our puppy traveled about 18 hours to be delivered directly to us, which made everything so convenient for our family. Communication throughout the whole process was excellent. They were quick to respond, answered every question we had, and kept us updated leading up to delivery so we always knew what to expect. It really made us feel comfortable and confident in our decision. When our puppy arrived, he was healthy, happy, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell they truly care about their dogs and the families they go to. Overall, this was a very positive experience, and we are so happy with our new furry family member. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a well-raised puppy and a smooth, professional experience.”

“This was a very interesting process for getting Jagger. It was overall easy to use but at times needed some clarification. Some of the instructions in the process seemed to conflicted in the timing of what we needed to do, however, our concierge and backup concierge on weekends was able to give us the answers we needed and all were very helpful. There is one thing that should occur early on after purchase, getting talks with the breeder sooner. Otherwise everything was great! Traci our Nanny, was great. She kept us informed at every step of Jagger’s journey flying cross country from Ft Wayne, Indiana to Portland, Oregon. Jagger is now enjoying his new forever home. Jagger Rules!”

He seems to have settled in nicely, no concerns from what I can see. He looks happy, is playing and first night in crate went well, minus some minor whimpering which I expected. Couldn’t be happier with Paul and the entire process. Thank you Pawrade!!”

“The process was easy and well organized. The arrangements for transport and explanation in terms of responsibility was clear and the concierge always available for questions. Important to mention is how well the little puppy was trained, adjusted, self confident and healthy. All information, pictures and descriptions were truthful- not what I experienced with shady "adoption agencies". This points to a well chosen breeder by Pawade and a quality control that is worth the money you pay.”

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 →
