“Excellent all around, very helpful, good communication, good transportation, contact with breeder after baby got home to check up on baby. Baby is gorgeous and healthy! All perfect!”

“We've used Pawrade twice now for both our cavaliers and each time has been a fast and easy process. The first time was 2 years ago and the second was just now with our newest puppy. Pawrade provided excellent customer support (both times) for any inquiries during the process. We had the same Puzzle Piece carrier personnel, Christien, who took very good care of them during their trips to us. We highly recommend Pawrade if you are looking!”

“My puppy is absolutely perfect! The adoption process went smoothly. I really appreciated that the breeders were evaluated by Pawrade to be professionals and not puppy mills or backyard breeders. I used the transport option and while my puppy arrived sooner than expected, it was still a very vague window of time (several days) for when she would arrive, making plans difficult, but the transporters did contact me with frequent updates. My only complaint is all the junk mail and the requirement to accept cookies to use these sites!”

“We’re very happy with our new puppy. The process was very smooth and we decided to get a companion for Echo, her name is Fiona and we’re very exited to meet her soon. Thank you Pawrade!”

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.

“An Absolutely Wonderful Experience with Pawrade! We recently welcomed our beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Willow, into our family thanks to Pawrade, and the entire experience was nothing short of spectacular! From the very beginning, their team was incredibly professional, kind, and responsive—guiding us through every step of the process with care and attention to detail. Communication was excellent throughout, and we always felt confident that Willow was being well cared for before she arrived. The transition to her forever home was smooth and stress-free, and it was clear how much Pawrade truly cares about the health and happiness of their puppies. Our sweet Willow is everything we hoped for—healthy, playful, and absolutely perfect. We’re so grateful to Pawrade for helping us find her and for making the entire adoption process such a joyful experience. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for their next furry family member!”

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 →
