“The process was quite involved and quite a bit of paperwork to take in. We have had Flynn for 1 day and he is delightful. The breeder was very helpful and he has been for his vet check. All checked out ok. I would definately recommend Pawrade to help find a new puppy. Sandy and Roger”

“Every aspect of the new puppy purchase and transfer was wonderful, and we love how the Breeder and the transfer couple, Nari and Levi, took so much care of Scout, our puppy, along the way. The delivery went very smoothly, and Scout is adapting to his new home. Thank you Gaylon and Stephanie”

“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.

“From the very first phone call, speaking with Amber about my circumstances and need for a youthful puppy in my home after the recent loss of my husband and 4-yr old cat (both taken too early), to the paperwork, travel itinerary, to Zach placing my sweet, scared pup in my arms, it has been a 5 Star experience. I had never brought a new furry family member into my home under this type of circumstances. As a veterinary professional, I scrutinized the handouts, explaining how to introduce the new pup to other pets in the household, preparing for the arrival day with a bath and food, it was all well written. Thank you! Tili (my 12 year old puggle) annd I are ready for the puppy energy!!!”

Communication was excellent throughout—they kept me informed every step of the way and were always quick to respond to any questions I had. Their traveling nanny service absolutely top-notch! The nanny was kind, knowledgeable, and took such great care of my puppy during the trip. The entire team at Pawrade made the experience joyful and seamless.

“It was very easy to use Pawrade. Overall, this was a quick and easy process to get a wonderful puppy. The puppy was exactly as advertised. He is well socialized and arrived one day early. We used the delivery service. Our driver's communication was consistent and accurate. They were very helpful!”

Kurt G. · Round Hill, VA

“All went very well with the exception of the choice of either the breeder or Pawrade to use a discount airline and a 9 hour flight vs. an $85 more costly direct flight which would have saved 5 hours of travel for the puppy. And not require the courier to wait 5 hours for a return flight. Plus there was confusion as someone contacted me regarding a FIVE DAY drive with the 3 lb. puppy which would have been horrible for the puppy. That may have been a mistake on someone's part but for the price paid for the puppy and the transport this left me with a bad taste in my mouth that $85 wouldn't have been worth less than half the time for this puppy to have to travel.”

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 →
