“Pawrade did a good job. The only thing is that it is tremendously pricey. It’s hard to put a value on all of this. I would have also liked more info on the breeder—maybe a quick tour of the facilities, meet the puppies parents, etc. on video. If the breeders aren’t puppy mills, they should have time to do that. But, the puppy is perfect. So that’s great!!”

“We love our little Havanese puppy so much. What a good experience from the first time we saw her on the Pawrade website and decided she was the love of our lives <3 - to the moment we met her and she made us feel like we were the love of her life <3 She is a happy, super smart, exuberant, and very affectionate little girl. She is in perfect condition and received an A+ from our veterinarian. You can tell her sweet personality and how well adjusted she is already that she was well taken care of. A big thank you to her fur mom and her first human family for giving us such a blessing!”

“Amazing! Quick responses to questions. Very thorough on the new pup, her medical hx, and her current food. I would recommend to anyone looking for a new pup/dog due to the professional, true manner with which they operate. The driver(s) delivered pup in a timely manner and were very cool to work with on their transport to SC. Great selection of breeders and pups. I really am happy with services provided.”

“The support team is professional and supportive throughout the process. Appreciate their details in order to ensure a smooth transition and transition. I would have rated five stars. However, I do feel some of the information in the puppy description was misleading. My biggest issue was the puppy being listed as socialize. Additionally, I did speak with the breeder was communicated that he was friendly and social. After receiving my puppy, he was the opposite. Upon receiving him, he was assessed by a local vet and experienced pet trainer. Both concluded he was not socialized due to his demeanor and response to people and other dogs. I would still recommend using pawrade.”

“If I went into too much detail, I would just be repeating the already hundreds perhaps thousands of stellar reviews that already exist. Which is what convinced me to take the chance with Pawrade to begin with. My experience was excellent every step of the way. Really couldn't have been better. My 13-week-old Golden Doodle made a long road trip and exceeded my every expectation upon arrival. Constant contact with the transporter with whom you are enabled to follow along via the Life 360 tracking app. Two nice young men driving teams showed up in a nice, large van tasked with safely delivering 14 puppies all up the east coast from Virginia up into the New England states. Walked our new puppy in their arms right up to the door, came in for some good handoff conversation and paperwork signing and were off to the next. In summary I am thoroughly impressed with the entire experience and would do it again. A sincere thank you to Pawrade and Wags on Wheels for the new addition to our family.”

“The transaction could not have been smoother and I am so happy with my new baby. Communication was wonderful, travel delivery was exactly as my expectations were set out, I love my new cava poo and she is definitely part of the family. Thank you so much.

“We had a great experience with getting our new puppy through Pawrade. From the very beginning untill she was received we received excellent service. At the very begging after the purchase I got a phone call to explain the process and see if I had any questions. We received updated pictures of her. Our puppy arrived on time after getting updated texts both from the driving company and Pawrade. The drivers who cared for her during her drive were clearly caring and competent people. they delivered her nice and clean. I would definitely use Pawrade again.”

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.”

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.

“We purchased Jackson, a wonderful miniature schnauzer, through Pawrades. It was a great experience. Pawrades was very upfront about the process and provided timely tips for making it a smooth process for me. Jackson was transported to me through Furry Freight and that was also a very positive experience. Finally, Jackson is a fabulous miniature schnauzer. If we ever purchased another puppy, we will definitely use Pawrades.”

“Overall, everything went smoothly however there was too many people to interact with the Pawrade side and delays and answering questions and not knowing who to communicate with for each question. I did find it annoying that the delivery service which was almost $800 continued to hit me up for tips. No doubt they deserve it but they should get paid and not rely on tips. I felt pressured and I did not appreciate that. I do appreciate the overall concept and I would not hesitate to use them again. Katherine, my initial contact was amazing!!!!”

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 →
