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.

Always helpful, prompt in responding to questions, and supportive. The documents we received for our pup were great.

“Our new addition, Bari ("Webster") the miniature Schnauzer arrived healthy and happy from Ohio. with only a mild ear issue. Puppy Trails Pet Transport kept us informed and arrived exactly when they said they would. Webster is 10 1/2 weeks old and weighed 5.65 lbs. Our local vet gave him a clean bill of health with only a mild ear issue exception. From the first phone call to Pawrade till we had puppy in our arms was 11 days.”

“The adoption process through Parade was easy and the communication from the team was very helpful. I struggled with the communication process around the delivery. "Once the puppy is safely on board & and settled (can be anytime throughout the day), the driver will reach out with an ETA for delivery as well as provide any updates along their journey home to your door. If you have not heard from the transport carrier by the next day, please let us know." I did receive my departure notification with a 2-3 day delivery window. I did not receive updates along the way. Even with repeated requests for a better ETA, I didn't receive a call until 7:30PM on the third day and they arrived at just after 9PM. My dog arrived happy and healthy, and the communication regarding the delivery could have been much better.”

“Our puppy arrived late last night, but the entire process from start to finish was seamless. There was constant contact throughout the entire travel as well as progress on our puppy's growth from the staff over the past month. The paperwork was seamless and easy to understand and the staff was available to help with everything. I cannot thank the staff enough for their help and making our puppy's homecoming spectacular!! 100% would recommend this service.”

“Besides saying how sweet, adorable, happy and loving my puppy is, I have to make a comment about Pawrade. I had an amazing experience with them. They walk you through EVERY step of the way. There is NO guessing with them, they are on top of everything. It’s like having your own coach through the whole process. I had never purchased a puppy online and to be frank was a little worried. As soon as the process began, I was updated on EVERY step including at the end with the nanny. Yes I chose that route, felt it was the best for me and my new baby. But whatever you choose the greatest reward is bringing that bundle of love home❣️”

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 →
