As soon as I visited Pawrade and I found my fur baby listed, I knew she was the one. She was born on the same day as the fur baby we had just lost to cancer. That was my sign.
From that moment on Pawrade walked us through the process of acquiring our Arwern (now Willow). They contacted Express Puppy and they were wonderfu as well with communication. They kept us informed of any of the slightest changes to schedules. I can't thank all involved enough.
Thank you to all of you for the great experience. If I had to do it again, I would in a heartbeat.

My experience with Pawrade has been…
My experience with Pawrade has been very positive. The staff was very helpful and respectful all the way from beginning to the delivery of my new best friend. Also, I found the payment method easy to follow and complete. All the computerized documents were very user friendly. It took just a little over a week to complete the sale and receive the sweet little puppy delivered right to my door.
Thank you all at Pawrade!

Using Pawrade was an excellent decision…
Using Pawrade was an excellent decision for our puppy purchase. My only constructive feedback would be, when using ground transportation, we were told our puppy would arrive Wednesday evening between 1 AM & 6 AM. Confused with that answer, I clarified she would actually arrive in the early morning hours of Thursday between 1 AM and 6 AM. Other than that minor hiccup, It was a great experience.
The folks at Pawrade were responsive and helpful every step of the way.
We have a beautiful, confident, happy, healthy Frenchy keeping us on our toes!
Its evident the breeder takes her program very seriously. Our pups health records were impeccable from day one and she was well socialized. 💗
I can honestly say we would use Pawrade again and again.

Thank you for the kind words and for the honest feedback. It is true that sometimes your pup may arrive at an odd hour. Our ground delivery crews drive 24/7 to get each pup home as quickly as possible. They can not delay a delivery that keeps the other pups on the van for longer than necessary. While we do understand this can be an inconvenience it is what's best for the pups. In fairness, we do fully disclose this on the Ground Travel Work Order and give as much notice as possible. We do apologize and thank you for your understanding and for the extra effort. Best wishes. And thank you for trusting Pawrade.

Kudos to the Powerade Team
This was our first experience buying a pet and we were very worried about the process and the complication that there might have been along the way. Instead, we had a great and flawless experience with Pawrade. The team was super responsive and provided regular and timely updates. I had several questions while waiting for our puppy, and I always got answers in matters of few hours. The puppy was delivered on the expected date and the whole process was absolutely smooth. Kudos to the Pawrade team for the amazing job and professionality!

Puppy Love
We were connected with our puppy after looking at several puppies on the Pawrade website. Once we decided on our top 3 puppies, we were disappointed that our top choice had become unavailable. We continued down our list and did get our puppy. He was located within driving distance so we drove to pick him up. The breeder was kind enough to meet us part of the way and we received the puppy. Pawrade made the process very easy. It’s important to follow their guidelines and have the puppy evaluated by a veterinarian with 72 hrs of receipt so that all health guarantees will be honored. Aside from that, our new puppy is absolutely perfect!!! I’m so happy we chose to use Pawrade to add this little guy to our family.

Our Experience With Pawrade — Proceed With Caution
Response to Pawrade’s Response
I want to clarify several statements in Pawrade’s response because they do not accurately reflect what happened.
Pawrade states that I “did receive all the relevant documentation at the time of delivery.” That is not my experience. I was not provided the complete veterinary certificate at delivery. I had to ask the breeder for it, and the document I initially received was not the complete form. I then requested it from Pawrade multiple times before finally receiving what appeared to be the full, uncropped version.
Pawrade also states that I questioned the documents despite them being verified as accurate. My questions were not without reason. I independently contacted the original veterinary clinic in Ohio, as Pawrade instructed me to do. I was informed that the vaccines were administered by the breeder, not that veterinary clinic. I was also informed that the breeder performed the microchip. This is exactly why I was trying to verify the records rather than simply accepting information I was given.
There are still documentation gaps. I have no documentation identifying who docked my puppy’s tail, and I have no documentation showing that his dewclaws were removed. His front dewclaws are visibly present. Pawrade now says this must be confirmed by my veterinarian, and I am doing exactly that at my upcoming appointment.
The listing specifically stated “Dewclaws Removed.” Therefore, this is not simply a matter of me questioning something without evidence. The advertised service and the physical condition of my puppy do not currently match, and I am obtaining veterinary documentation so it can be formally addressed.
Regarding the tax, I never claimed Pawrade controls the state’s tax rate. My concern was the transparency and itemization of the additional charge during the purchase. Saying that Stripe automatically calculates the tax does not address that concern.
Finally, Pawrade states that they delivered a “completely happy and healthy pup.” I agree that our puppy is happy, healthy, and very loved. He has never been the problem. My review concerns the purchasing process, documentation, representations made in the listing, and the amount of communication and follow-up required to get answers.
I am not claiming that Pawrade intentionally provided false documents, nor am I accusing anyone of altering anything. I am stating what I personally experienced: I had to repeatedly request documentation, independently verify information with the veterinarians, and I still have unresolved documentation discrepancies.
I will continue following Pawrade’s requested process and will update my review once my veterinarian has documented the dewclaws and the remaining issues have been addressed.

This review is leaving out a lot of important facts. First, the customer did receive all the relevant documentation at the time of delivery. She chose to question the accuracy or authenticity of the documents. We carefully reviewed the documents and ensured that they were in fact accurate. We would never knowingly provide any documents that were not completely accurate but we wanted to be sure we didn't make an honest mistake.
No matter what clarifying or defining information we provided it was always questioned by the customer. After making sure the customer had the correct contact information for the two vets the pup had seen we directed the customer to contact the vets herself so she could be sure of their accuracy and authenticity. The customer responded that she had done that and was awaiting a reply.
The customer states that she believes the pups front dew claws were not removed. This is something that has to be confirmed by an actual Veterinarian. The customer was advised that at their first vet appointment to have her vet note the condition of the dew claws. One she has these documents we will open a health guarantee claim to address this issue if it exists.
We absolutely disclose clearly and plainly every cost associated with the puppy. There is nothing hidden and no surprises. Actual final cost, minus tax is clearly displayed right on the original listing before purchase. We have ZERO control over applicable state tax. We use Stripe the worlds largest and most respected payment processor. They automatically assess the appropriate sales tax depending on the customers residency. This customer was absolutely charged appropriately. Again, we cant help what state taxes are charged. We assume that to be common knowledge.
It is important to note that we delivered to this customer a completely happy and heathy pup just as we promised. With no worries of being scammed or ripped off in a completely safe and secure transaction. Once the customer verifies that she has had all the relevant documents since delivery I hope she will come back and update this review.
