“Excellent organization - all throughout the process they were very helpful. My new puppy is adorable of course and very healthy and happy! I met the breeder at the exchange and she seemed genuinely concerned that her puppy was well-placed. She was very professional but also very nice! And is allowing me to text her with questions.”

“I am so excited. Daisy is the sweetest baby. And as cute as she is sweet. Everything went smoothly. I received calls, texts and emails to keep me posted almost every day until I got her. If I decide to get Daisy a sibling I will use Pawrade again”

“We are so thankful to everyone at Pawrade for helping to make our dream of adopting a fur baby come true. We lost our beloved Pomchi Chloe in September of this year. Being able to find "Charlie Rose" has been a healing and heart warming experience. We are forever grateful for the beautiful bundle of joy that arrived on our doorstep. Willis and Lloyd our puppy Chauffeurs were amazing. They took such good care of our precious package and kept us updated every step of the way. From the breeder to everyone at Pawrade who took my phone calls as an anxious fur parent to be, I thank you for being so helpful and patient. We love our baby girl so much and she is already "ruling the roost." She is smart, playful, and soooo loving. She loves to cuddle and give kisses. Thank you Pawrade for bringing so much joy to our lives!”

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.

“I found Pawrade after been ALMOST scammed 12 times on Facebook. It was like a dream come through. From the very first time I talked to them, they were very professional, helpful, acknowledgeable and nice. Throughout the process every individual in the various departments guided me through the process. I recommend them to anyone who would like to have a legit puppy!”

“Pawrade is an excellent company of you are looking for a healthy happy puppy. I had a great experience from the moment I called to reserve my Sonny(new name Kash) to the delivery. Customer Service is great! They communicate with you every step of the way through txt message. I really like that since I can't be on my phone while at work. They explained the process from the beginning. The payment process was easy and safe. I had questions and needed documents for the vet before my Kash arrived. This was the day before his delivery to me. They answered all my questions and helped me get what I got the vet immediately. They set up the transportation etc. I have already referred Pawrade to my bestfriend. I am very happy with my Maltipoo Kash and will use Pawrade again and again!!”

“I purchased a teacup poodle at the beg of december. Once the purchase was completed the communication was amazing, i received all the instructions and details on how to welcome my puppy, what his diet was, when to reguster for the insurance, when to see the vet, how he could react after the flight, etc. When i called for precisions, the response was kind, helpful and everything was done to reassure me. When the puppy arrived, he was in great shape, full of life and very affectionate. I am very happy and highly recommend Pawrade.”

“My experience with Pawrade was first rate. I was VERY skeptical about how they could promise "no puppy mills." Because without actually visiting the location of the breeder, nor giving us(puppy adopters) information on the breeder prior to the puppy's arrival, how can anyone be sure we aren't purchasing from a puppy mill. However, once I saw my puppy, I knew this was a puppy that came from a well loved home environment. Prior to her arrival Pawrade was quick in responding to my questions and concerns. Upon my puppy's arrival, I was thrilled to pick up a clean, healthy little pup. She smelled clean. Looked clean. Had healthy stool. She was/is a good weight, She was/is bright, alert and very people friendly and social with dogs. I love her to bits!! Her vet records were thorough and indicate she has had good care and proper vet care since birth. I am so happy with my little one.”

“Wow, what an experience! I had a lot of anxieties about using an online service to find my new fur friend, but pawrade made the process quick and easy. The customer service was attentive, the transport went smoothly and I received 1 healthy and adorable puppy. Overall I would use the service again, the only improvement I would say was more updates about the puppy and parents prior to transport- but overall very happy with the service. Thank you!!”

“It was hard to find a legitimate website but luckily my girlfriend found this haha We got our first puppy 1 week after reserving him, and we chose the ground delivery, which is pretty much a “wags on wheels” truck that delivers pets. They keep a consistent message thread directly from the owner and from their veterinarian too. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask them. The process was smooth and fast, I’m so happy and still can’t believe he is in our house 😭 I definitely recommended this page to some of my coworkers. Thank you ❤️🐶”

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 →
