“Our new Boston Terrier puppy arrived safe and sound and healthy. She’s exactly the pup we were hoping for. The process was straight forward from start to finish. I will admit, I questioned if I’d made the right decision to go through Pawrade but in the end it was seamless and they were great to deal with.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Communication was excellent from day one—they answered every question quickly and thoroughly, shared health testing results openly, and even sent weekly puppy photos information. Our puppy arrived healthy, and with a wonderful temperament.”

“1. Pre-reserved the Pawrade team is unrelenting in their attempt to reach you via all contact methods you’ve shared with them. Once you’ve made contact, they are super friendly, accommodating, but with any sales team, they are trying to make a sale, so be prepared for urgency messaging with making a decision. 2. Post reserved, pre-delivery, the Pawrade team is again friendly, with emails about what to expect wildly flying as they ensure you’re aware of what to expect, but as learned, mostly to drive home the contract requirements from the reservation of your new furry friend. 3. Delivery team, very friendly and provide timely updates as they travel across the US. Due to how young my puppy was/is, ground travel was only option vs air, which was best method until the winter storm pushing into the West. 4. Post Delivery Support Team - friendly quickly moves to a realm in which documentation is paramount over delivery of exceptional experiences. Too much CYA, less support.”

“Fantastic, the delivery was exactly when estimated, drivers very professional. I would like to contact the breeder to let them know what a beautiful, happy puppy we now have. She has blended in well with the 2 older labs that we have. I took her for her wellness check and all was 100%. The vet liked her so much he took pictures. If possible, I would like to contact the breeder, could you provide the info? Thanks! VS”

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.

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 →
