“From the start, the transaction has been seamless. Our first contact Tara was extremely helpful and her knowledge of the program was very helpful in answering all of our questions. Our second contact Emily (I think was the name) wasn't as communicative and her responses were much shorted and less detailed as Tara's, but we did receive the information we were seeking, so that was okay. Delivery time: Tyler and his co-worker were very professional and courteous. They kept us notified along the way of their estimated arrival, and even arrived sooner than expected, letting us know they were ahead of schedule. We are very happy with our new puppy and appreciate everyone that assisted in connecting us with Peach. We will love her and take great care of her. Yuki our white Pom loves her and they have been playing since Peach arrived. We will recommend Pawrade to all of our friends and family that may be in search of a new fur-family member. Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts.”

“Saoirse is a beautiful puppy. She's more than welcome could have asked for. Thank you. The many steps, websites, requirements, people, etc., were very laborious and made the transaction very anxiety. I felt like I would be in jail or have a dead dog if I didn't order the food, glucose, etc., you seemed to require. This puppy is healthy a as a horse and I have enough experience to know if something was wrong with her because if travel. She doesn't like the $19.00 tube of stuff I had to order so my money was wasted. I think her breeder did a fabulous job giving her a good start. She is exactly what we had looked for for months.”

“We are more than pleased with how our purchase of our little pug puppy was handled. We were kept informed as to what the breeder needed from us and the contract we signed was very clear and professional. Our little boy is exactly what we wanted and everyone was very nice from start to finish. Having our little guy driven out here from Arkansas was also handled very quickly with no problems and no surprises. I highly recommend Pawrade!”

“Was a great experience for us . We came on the site with nervous reservations, and it couldn't have been an easier experience, communication was above and beyond, all my concerns were always addressed in a timely manner which I appreciated. Our puppy came from Missouri all the way to California. Our puppy arrived happy and ready to join our family couldn't have been a better union. Thanks so much to everyone involved in making this a safe, worry free way to purchase a puppy on line”

“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.

But I will say when you looking for a life long doggie and relationship...this is the way to go. I can say that "Jax" is so so so much more then expected. Deal with good breeders, get good doggies.

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 →
