“We love our new puppy! He is sweet and smart! The kids really enjoy playing with him and teaching him tricks. We are very happy with the smooth process with Pawrade and Express Puppies!!”

“The experience was amazing from start to finish. We lost our precious baby in November and it was so hard on me and my husband. Then we laid eyes on Moose and the team at Pawrade made it so easy. Moose is a beautiful baby and we are so thrilled to have him in our life and family.”

“I had an amazing experience with Pawrade! Everyone that interacted with from when I first started inquiring to when his arrival was nearing was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. As a first time pup owner, I had a few questions and each one was answered every time quickly and thoroughly. I recommend them to anyone looking to grow their fur family.”

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 was very skeptical buying a puppy from a place I had found online, and especially worried about sending money, but I have to say from the very start and first phone call from Jessica to the moment I picked her up at the airport. I have been fully supported all the way And have been delivered the sweetest little girl my only negative would be and this is not against the company, but the Breeder stated that she had been training the puppy with puppy pads and that is absolutely not true apart from that I am very happy.”

“Everything was excellent until the day before! Communication was great everyday after I paid the $4000! I was absolutely skeptical because I have been scammed before purchasing a bully through web. Better Business Bureau confirmed the site. Helped me relax. The person I was directly dealing with was awesome u til the last 24. I had to call to confirm everything was a go a day before the scheduled pickup. The day of I called the breeder directly because the person representing PAWRADE just stopped communicating. Luckily I was close to the breeder so I called them directly and scheduled the pickup. I heard from PAWRADE while I was en route! Other than that….all good!”

“We have the most adorable brindle/fawn colored Shih tzu puppy we could have ever hoped for. We found her online 11/27/2024 and reserved her that day. We received her by Puppy Express (ground delivery) on 12/12/2024. She was perfect, happy and we fell in love that day. The staff stayed in touch and helped whenever I needed to call or text them.

“I was a tiny bit worried about the process at first. I wanted the best travel possible for my new puppies. So I did pay for the flight nanny. The Nanny was very kind and took good care of my puppy until she delivered her to me at the airport. My puppy looked very well fed and very well taken care of. She had a fantastic veterinary visit and the entire process was very smooth. My new puppy is a doll!”

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 →
