“My first time using Pawrade. I was very skeptical trying to find a quality dog who is healthy. Pawrade came through - they take you by the hand from search to purchase to delivery. I would use them again!”

“Every one at Pawrade was so great. I really appreciate them. They all have great attitudes...very nice people. Professional always and they made getting my puppy Avery so easy and seamless. It all happened very quickly and I got Avery in just a few days. The breeder Audrey is a gem. I met her in Nebraska and even attended a puppy zoo with Avery and a few of her smaller poodle puppies. It was fun and an experience I will always cherish. Thak you Tony and everyone at Pawrade who helped make getting my new puppy an amazing time❣️”

“We are absolutely satisfied with our transaction with Pawrade. Each step of the way we felt the purchase and delivery of our Great Dane puppy was handled in a professional and compassionate manner. One can’t always say that in daily business. All communication was handled by both texts and phone calls. They were quick to get back to us with any questions we had. I can confidently recommend Pawrade when looking for your next 4 legged family member”

“Pawrade was amazing to work. From assisting finding our puppy, explaining in detail the next step, finding transportation, communicating with all involved to make sure our puppy was in great health and made sure he arrived at our door step safely. The agents were very tentative to all our questions. I would definitely use them again and refer their services.”

“The process was good. It would have been better if I had only one agent to deal with. I received emails from 4 agents, too much communication. Also, I was told that the pet owner was in Paris, AR. She lived near Wathron, AR. We booked our nonrefundable hotel before we found out. It cost us an additional 1.5 hour drive. We love our puppy.”

“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 can not say enough wonderful things about Pawrade. This is now the second puppy I have received from Pawrade, I honestly would not use any one else! The customer service is exceptional, the professionalism, warmth, and experience are unmatched. My puppy is the most well-adjusted, loving, socialized little ball of fur. Thank you to the breeder, the delivery staff (unreal), and Pawrade!!!”

“It is the 7th day that we have had our pups. I didn’t expect to have to address a possible health concern. I have raised MANY puppies in my lifetime and have Never had this type of problem in the first year! I took her to a vet hospital 45 minutes from my house but never got waited on so I still do not know other than her gums are not as pink as they should be!”

“We are in love with Belladonna (chosen name: Hazley). I have some feedback on the process. I requested updated photos two times. It took a week to get 3 pictures from the breeder. I never received the second request. I suggest that once a puppy is committed to a family, the buyer should get routine updates with photos once a week. Seems logical and appropriate given the cost associated with a new puppy.”

“From the first moment I called to ask a question until I picked up my new puppy, the people at Pawrade have been wonderful. When I called the first time to ask questions about the type of puppy we were looking for, the lady that answered the phone was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She listened and then made suggestions on breeds that would fit my needs and lifestyle. My family was able to agree on a puppy easily and the whole process was smooth and we were kept informed every step of the way. We picked our puppy in person and was it was nice to meet the breeder and talk about our dogs temperament and usual behavior. I highly recommend you use them to help you find your new furry best friend.”

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 →
