“The drivers were very nice and friendly. The new puppy sweet honey was so happy to run around. The updates were very helpful, only thing is I ask what food she is eating and they did not know, I assume it was purnia puppy chow. I will be changing to the Science Diet for her, to also let you all know her new name is Kali. My family loves her, she fits right in and loves to snuggle. They can't wait for her to start enjoying her new life, I think she is very happy. Thank you for everything.”

“We decided that it was time to welcome a puppy into our home and were looking for mini goldendoodles. We decided to get two when we saw adorable sisters were available. Since Pawrade had so many choices, I was a little skeptical that it was a hoax. BUT Pawrade was actually fantastic. We got the exact puppies we chose and were able to Zoom with the breeder and our puppies before they were delivered to us by the transport team. Magnolia “Maggie” May (previously “Molly”) and Penelope “Penny” Lane are beautiful, happy, healthy little additions to our family and we are loving learning their sweet, funny, cuddly, mischievous personalities. It took them 2 weeks to get to us once we paid for them which felt like a long time, but the representatives at Pawrade communicated with us each step of the way! Thank you for our beautiful puppies!”

“This was the best time of our lives, everyone that helped us from day 1 in getting our Boxer choosing her and all the way to delivery of her to us was so smooth everyone was a gem to work with. Our baby is wonderful and all shots for her age were given to her before transport just like they said our vet said she is in good health and she said she is adorable but we knew that when we picked her lol. She has adjusted so fast , we love our new baby girl. She is happy and has made us laugh so much it's a joy to have her and our 2 yr baby Yorkie loves having a play mate. God Bless You All for all your help and please tell our breeder she has done a wonderful job with Marigold AKA Callie Hope. We r so grateful we found you ,anyone who is looking for a puppy should reach out to you the best thing we ever did ❤️”

“Pawrade was amazing from beginning to end. We originally purchased a puppy and could not get out of our head the one puppy left of the litter and ended up getting 2 fur babies !!!! They were able to get them both on the same flight. The 2 babies were very well socialized …clean …semi potty trained and very happy !! The team at Pawrade were very communicative and transparent. I would recommend Pawrade for anyone considering adding to their family !”

“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.

“AMAZING experience!! I will tell everyone about how great my experience with Pawrade has been. I read all the complaints on this company before moving forward with the purchase of our little princess. To the contrary of those complaints, the team assigned to us responded to every question and every request rapidly. The waiting process can be so hard, but upon request they even sent updated pictures of our girl to help ease the impatience. It was seamless and perfect all the way around!”

“Very excited to have our new puppy 🐶! The process was pretty seamless. Everyone I worked with was so enthusiastic. They took excellent care of her during transport(by van). They fed/watered, cleaned area, and bathed her. She came to me from Missouri. I live in Michigan. That's a long way to travel. She's very loving and super sweet!

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 →
