“Rain is the funniest and loving puppy when I got her I slept in the living room with her for 3 days that way she could feel safe,now after that she sleeps next to me in my bed. Now I sleep better at night since I lost my baby Isabella in February and it’s been extremely hard all i can say is thank you for giving me the new love of my life Rain !!”

“Pawrade was soo easy and smooth when it came time to choosing our furever baby! Every question was answered and followed up! We are beyond joyful and grateful to have our pup finally home with us! Safe and reliable, without a doubt!”

“Transaction was good, the driver that brought the Puppies were wonderful. Instead of more food of which I had already purchased some based on requirements, it would have been bice to have a collar or harness that fit. The first two I bought after receiving the puppy didn't fit because she was so small. And she was 6 months old.”

“Now a 4th time returning customer. The process through Pawrade was again amazing! Holly is THE BEST! Only criticism I would have is to request returning to Wags on Wheels for transport services as they went above and beyond to ensure we knew every step of where our little man was. Thank you again, Pawrade!”

“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.

“We received our happy and healthy puppy yesterday! She is a 12 week old husky. She’s beautiful! Very calm and very snuggly. The delivery went very smooth. They even got to my house early! I could tell that they gave her a little bit of Benadryl or something to keep her calm on the trip because she was very tired when she got to my house, but that’s understandable. She is the sweetest little baby and we are so happy to have our new addition to the family. Thank you so much pawrade for providing us with such a sweet baby girl! We are so happy! My daughter couldn’t be happier to have a new best friend. I definitely recommend using pawrade if you’re looking for a new puppy! The communication was awesome as well. They answered all of my questions and they stayed in touch with me the entire time.”

“He was rated as an F1 and he was an F1b. It also said he was 5# and he is 2.4#. Finally it lists his food as the Pride and that he will not be under warranty if we don’t continue to feed him that. But when we picked him up the breeder said he didn’t feed him that. So how will we keep the warranty????”

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 →
