“Ember (renamed 'Coco') is the second puppy we've secured through Pawrade. We acquired 'Stella' 3.5 years ago and had a wonderful experience. When we decided to expand our family with a second puppy, we immediately went to the Pawrade website; the rest is history! Coco was delivered by two polite and caring young men who provided all the information we required to get started raising Coco. Chances are good that we won't be growing our family any larger, but if we did, Pawrade would be our first choice.”

“We are in love! The experience was seamless. And our new puppy is already a valued member of the family. The only improvement would be to have contact with the breeder - I'm sure they would want to know how our pup is progressing over time.”

“We're very pleased with the process to welcome our new puppy to our family. The Pawrade personnel were all very communicative each step of the way and responded quickly to any questions we posed. If the need ever arises again, I would definitely use Pawrade again and recommend to others looking for their next furry family member!”

“Overall, I was quite pleased with Pawrade and their help allowing us to adopt our Lulu. :) However, be aware the "date available" is NOT the date the puppy can go home to you, as I had thought. The puppy still needs a vet visit and then to be approved by Pawrade to leave the origin home. This was a bit misleading to me, as I scoured the website before purchasing to get their policies. Customer service reps were available at long hours during the day which was a benefit to me as a working parent trying to keep the purchase a secret until it was set in stone.”

“I have waited to buy the puppy of my dreams and I used Pawrade and have the cutest, happiest, sweetest puppy ever! She is healthy and the whole process was amazing. They were constant communication and answered all my worried needs. Buying a puppy these days is scary with all the scams out there and I can say I have a happy and healthy puppy that is so loved and we are so excited for all the joy she will bring to our family. I got calls, pictures and support every step of the way and still have that support even after she made it to her forever home!”

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.

“We absolutely LOVE our new havanese puppy. She came into our lives right on time due to a recent loss of a long time “soul dog”. Pawrade made the process so smooth and they were available for any questions and guidance. They communicated how to purchase the puppy, activate insurance, and even the results of her vet visit before travel. The employees are SUPER kind, supportive, and empathetic and I’m especially grateful for Ashlae, Emily, and Tina for being here for this new experience. The process may seem high, but I PROMISE it will be worth it for top tier service and an amazing new companion/fur baby.”

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 →
