Airport meets and doorstep deliveries, first nights home, Meet-a-Breeder interviews, Pawrade Live — every touchpoint of the process, told by the people who lived it.
“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.
You, the breeder and your Concierge in one thread — every message logged.
Meet the breeder and the puppy live. Calls are recorded and kept on file.
A real person, daily 9AM–11PM EST. Calls are recorded and retained.
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.
Vetted and signed to the No Puppy Mill Pledge before a single puppy is listed.
A full physical of the actual puppy — not the parents’ paperwork.
Recorded on the Veterinary Health Report and reviewed by our Health First team.
A positive fecal or a cough moves the date until the breeder’s vet resolves it. The sale stands; the puppy decides when.
Communicated before travel and uploaded to your PetPay account; a hard copy travels with the puppy.
3 years included, extendable to 10 — run by PetPay, not the breeder.
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.
Supplies, first 72 hours, potty and crate basics — sent before arrival.
We ask every family to see their own vet within three days, and explain why.
Your named advocate answers the “is this normal?” questions, from reserve to the first weeks.
Parks, pet stores and clinic floors wait until vaccines are done — and we tell you so.
“They were in high communication — updates, checklists of supplies, and support through the full delivery process. Start to end I felt supported and clear.”
“Pawrade is very easy to work with and they make the process so smooth! They communicate very well and answer questions within a quick and timely manner, ensuring you’re all set up for your pup’s arrival! Thank you pawrade, my husband and I now have our new little son with whom we are so in love with!”
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for finding our French Bulldog puppy Bacon who we then renamed Milo. He has brought such joy into our hearts and our lives. This service provided on this site is truly appreciated by the both of us and will be used again in the future.”
“Pawrade was great. But could have been more up front when delivery of puppy would be. Felt like did not initially give day of delivery even though was clear would not be home on specific days. Then wanted to send puppy on day after leaving for vacation. Then I was told they might have to charge me another fee for changing a day even though all messages were clear. My puppy is beautiful and perfect just wish could have been easier and clearer makes you think your being deceived. Also told had to have my puppy seen 72 hrs after for guarantee and you can’t go to petco vet or hospital for wellness check well try getting into a vet in that time. You can’t so thanks for that guarantee it’s worthless. So keep that in mind. Unless you know you can make that appointment before the puppy comes home. But make sure you have the correct day of arrival good luck!!!!”
“Every one was crazy helpful! The driver from Puppy Express was right on time and Bimini (now Bella) seemed very happy on arrival. We were pleased start to finish!”
“I love my Izzy!!! (Tawana) She sleeps through night and is using outdoors for potty. These people were easy to work with and not pushy. She got here faster then I thought, since I couldn’t fly her here. All in all- good experience.”
“He is the sweetest little baby. I absolutely love him. I am so so happy.”
“For all of the big deal made about the "extra health checks" I am disappointed. First, when I was told he would be picked up at the breeder I was told it could be up to 72 hours before he arrived at my door, WITH NO POTTY BREAKS, so he wouldnt be exposed to giardia/parasites. The guy who dropped him off said he DID have potty breaks! AND he said NOT to give the Nutrical! I couldnt get into my vet for 4 days after the arrival, thereby voiding my "health certificate'. Y'all also INSISTED that he was NOT to receive any vaccinations at the first visit, or it would void my cert as well. So, I took him to the vet yesterday and told them what I was told by Pawrade's "contract" and the vet said that if they didnt give him his next distemper he would be behind because he was given his first vax AT FOUR WEEKS, which is unheard of! WAY too young. Now today I get a call from the vet telling me he has full blown giardia and he has clearly had it before Saturday when he was dropped off. UGH”
“The delivery fee was $749. For that amount I expected someone to rush her here from Dallas. Not to be the case. She was one of 14 dogs that were distributed about the US. Nonetheless, she arrived in great condition, neither dirty nor smelly.”
“Very happy with Pawrade. Very helpful from reserving my puppy through receiving in Maryland. Updated flight status. When his flight was cancelled, he was driven to me through Express Puppies service. It took a three days trip for transport but the transport service kept me updated throughout my pup’s journey. Would definitely recommend Pawrade. A big thank you to everyone involved.”
“Very pleased with the transfer of my puppy. Communication was excellent from start to finish. My puppy arrived very playful and not stressed out at all from the trip. No problems.”
“We are so over-the-moon happy with Poppy (Arianna)! She is so beautiful, happy, loving, and healthy. Express Puppies was truly awesome delivery, and recommend them for anyone getting puppers. Thank you again for such a beautiful experience! 🖤❤️”
“Pawrade is an amazing company to work with as far as giving you all the information in regards to the dog or puppy you have selected; then they verify all information and send forward the information that will assist you with a successful arrival and continued success with your new pet. I really appreciate all that they do and how they have a system in place for getting you your pet in good condition from the breeder and the transport company also was very punctual and keep you informed as to the arrival. Thank you all so much and we are so happy and excited to receive Ceasar to our family. Leona, Jacksonville, Florida”
“Communication was great and quick responses too! Enjoyed having a contact person at all times! Thanks! She’s beautiful and sweet!”
“Everyone was always pleasant and helpful. Ty”
“Although I was set on the original date, I was happy that the driver delivered early.”
“I changed Tamika’s name to Bella because she is so beautiful. She is sweet, happy, playful and loves to cuddle and give you kisses. We adore her.”
“We love our puppy, but frankly, we wouldn't promote Pawrade to others. Prior to making the decision to move forward, our questions were immediately and completely answered, but after that, it felt like we were just another number and our only purpose was to make money for Pawrade. Our questions were rarely answered and instead we received single sentence answers, answers that seemed to be scripted and didn't actually answer our questions, and a lack of care for our concerns. I mentioned this when I was able to talk with someone on the phone and my concerns were clearly dismissed and not given due consideration. I truly considered more than once exiting the arrangement and even talked with a lawyer to see what our options were.”
“We absolutely love love love our new puppy Hope/ Charlie! She is so sweet and already has become one of the family! We are so glad she came to us!”
*Reviews are syndicated weekly; we request reviews from real customers after they take delivery of their puppy. Also independently reviewed on Trustpilot.
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 →
Lois, Shannon, Jason, Tara — the names families thank are the names you'll be calling. Daily 9AM – 11PM EST.
