“I was kept informed about my puppy the whole time I waited for her. I was provided with photos of her on a weekly basis or whenever I asked. I was worried the whole time because her departure date had a weather forecast of snow on that day and the next. It was a long trip from Missouri to Woodstock, NY. I was kept informed when I asked about their progress and I was elated when my little puppy arrived safe and sound ...pretty much on schedule. My puppy was a tiny little puppy and required white glove treatment ...which she received. She Aced her wellness exam and the vet said I have a very happy healthy puppy. I can't thank you enough. You cared about my puppy as much as I did. Yes, she is safe and sound in a very loving home and I will cherish her. Thank you.”

“I was anxious, not knowing the process of purchasing a puppy online. I was guided personally through the process every step of the way. The delivery of Express Puppy was professional and personal. Jake and Andrew were personable which gave me comfort from being anxious. The moment I held William was heart warming. Every moment has been a joy. Thank you Pawrade!”

“We loved Sophie the second we saw her! She’s a beautiful Cocker Spaniel, I love her coloring so unusual, with a blue eye and a brown eye. I like having sophie’s very distinctive looks. When the Courier arrived she gave Sophie to me and she hasn’t left my side ever since! She has been a very quick learner her first was to sit and stay. We took her to the vet, she got a 5 star checkup. I’m so thankful for choosing her, she’s everything I hoped for. Thank you so much to everyone at 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.

“Our puppy is FANTASTIC! We couldn't be happier with him! We are so grateful that Pawrade helped us find him and give him a happy and loving home. He arrived healthy and clean and eager to play. Our only complaint is that it was difficult to speak with his breeder to ask very normal questions about health history, demeanor, litter, etc. Otherwise, we are so pleased with the experience and appreciate all of the information, security and peace of mind working with Pawrade provided.”

“We are in love with our new 9 week old Bernedoodle! We have never purchased a puppy from a breeder before, but Pawrade made the experience very easy. Their communication was excellent. Once we selected our puppy, they were on it. If you choose the delivery option, please take note that the puppy might come at any time of the day or night (10:30 pm for us, which made for a rough first night...). Also, dates are based on pick up from breeder and NOT delivery, making it somewhat difficult to plan. It is important to know this going in if you choose delivery.”

“Transportation went smoothly. Your information ahead of time insured I was ready with ID. Transport people were here and gone within a few minutes. Kudos to the breeder. Puppy is well socialized with both people and other dogs. At my age this will be my last puppy. I noticed on Facebook that price is a concern. I would have paid more for the service I received. Worth every penny.”

“I was a bit nervous about doing this online but my daughter suggested it and I thought I would give it a try. When I selected Tessy, it was wonderful from the very beginning. They got back to me to let me know Tessy was still available and gave me the next steps. All very helpful, very friendly. I was not available to take her at the time she was delivered, so I asked to delay delivery and the breeder had no problem keeping her for a few more weeks with a very minimal charge. I was very anxious to see how she was doing during that time and they communicated with breeder, sent me a current video and new weight. When delivery was scheduled, it was very fast. They travel 24/7 so it is easier on the pet. It was amazing to receive our little Tessy from loving people! We are on day 5 and Tessy is at least 85% potty trained. She is beautiful, a great, fun personality and a cuddle girl! Just what the doctor ordered for me. I am absolutely amazed at how well this went! Thank you!”

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 →
