“My experience with Pawrade was amazing. They were extremely helpful and were able to answer all of my questions. The reason I gave four stars is due to the fact that my puppy was listed as a miniature poodle, but he is in fact a toy poodle - which I didn’t know until I had taken possession of him. The breeder stated that the puppy is a fifth generation toy poodle and she listed him as such. She says the error was Pawrade’s. I’m disappointed that he will be smaller than what I wanted, and may have a slightly different temperament. I was looking forward to having him accompany me on 30-minute walks around the neighborhood, but I don’t know if such a small dog will be able to do that. Otherwise, great experience.”

“Pawrade has truly been exceptional. From the very beginning when I started to think about getting a puppy, they offered friendly support that did not include any pressuring techniques. Once I made the decision, they have a great team to help navigate the process. I couldn’t be happier.”

“From the first contact with Emma, to the delivery from Elizabeth Powers, everyone was delightful: helpful, prompt and reassuring. We felt well taken care of and we LOVE our little chihuahuas! A couple of frustrations: coming from such a long distance, it's impossible to plan for hotels etc. when we don't know where the delivery will take place. So it would be great if buyers could get that info earlier. Also, I would have liked more pics and videos as we had to wait two months and there were moments when we started to wonder if these pups were real!”

“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.

“In the end, we were delivered a healthy, happy, wonderful Jack Russell puppy. But the journey getting there was a little bumpy. First, there was a mixup of our billing and delivery addresses, which could have lead to a tragic outcome. Fortunately the Puppy Concierge service was able to quickly correct that situation. Then, the transportation pick up date was conflicted, with the transport company having one date and Pawrade another. Again…after a handful of telephone calls & texts(and the loss of some stomach lining), that got sorted out as well. The responsiveness of the Pawrade Puppy Concierge service was very responsive, but Pawrade’s attention to details and the communication between Pawrade and the Transport company could use some improvement. Do I recommend Pawrade? Yes…with the caveat that new puppy owners confirm, follow up and stay on top of all the details every step of the way.”

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 →
