I highly recommend Honest Pet if you're looking for a puppy
My first encounter with HonestPet was with Stormi. She was so sweet, when I told her the puppy I was looking for she worked very hard to find my tiny Mighty Dave. He is perfect, just love him. Mallory has been wonderful since the beginning. The wonderful couple that drove him to me were so kind. They took a picture of us, that was very special.
I will never forget any of them. It was so smooth.

My "Toy" Poodle was listed with both parents weighing 7 lbs each. Said he should be 7 to 10 lbs full grown. At 6 months, he is already 12 lbs. My vet expects he will be 16 to 18 lbs. NOT the dog I had planned on raising at 70.

Exceptional service
I cannot recommend Laila and Honest Pet highly enough. From our first conversation, she was welcoming, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to answer all my questions. Laila’s dedication was truly impressive; she followed up regularly and even went out of her way to source a different breeder when I changed my mind about the breed I wanted. If you are looking for your next family member, Laila is the person to call.
Response from HonestPetJul 1, 2026
We are delighted to hear that Laila provided such exceptional support throughout your journey. Helping families find the right puppy is something we take great pride in, and we're grateful for your kind words and recommendation. Thank you for trusting HonestPet—we wish you and your new family member many happy years together!

Overall good, but some concerns.
Overall, my experience with Honest Pet has been a good one. I got my puppy this past Friday (3/27/26)I had to pick her up, because the delivery time was not an ideal time or date, so I drive 7.5 hours one way to pick her up (to no fault of Honestpet, or the transport company themselves, they were all quick to respond and were helpful with questions about delivery.) I could have had them deliver her another date, but I had already waited what felt like an eternity, and I was impatient. She is absolutely adorable and is the exact puppy that I expected from the photos. I was extremely skeptical about buying a puppy online, and to my surprise it was legit. I do have concerns however. First one isn’t a huge deal to me as I don’t plan to breed her or put her in shows or anything where it really matters, but to someone else it might. For the price of these puppies, I expected them to be officially AKC registered, and come with papers. My particular puppy did not. (I got a miniature long hair dachshund.) I am able to “register” her with AKC partners, which from what I understand is kinda pointless, as it is only for dogs that are not able to be registered officially. I paid over 5k for her, and I find it insane that for that price she isn’t officially AKC registered. Which makes me wonder if the breeders are reputable and not a backyard breeding situation. Which leads me to another concern, which is for the price you pay for the puppies, I feel they should be expected to have the puppies vaccinated by an actual veterinarian, not the breeder. I just find it hard to trust it was done, and done correctly unless done or supervised at least by a licensed veterinarian. She seems healthy, and happy, and fits right in with our family. I do not regret buying from HonestPet, I just wish there was more “proof” of the legitimacy of the breeders. I purchased a puppy from pet land and they even provided proof of the breeders property being inspected, and information on the breeders themselves. I was hoping for the same Information with this company. But in my case, all I got was some vague vet records, information on the complementary 30 day insurance, and some guides on what to expect with a new puppy, and some info on training stuff. No real “paperwork” or proof of purchase or anything like that. I just feel for the price you pay, they should be a little more transparent about the breeders, and unless specifically listed as a mixed breed, should be AKC certified puppies. Again though, I am overall happy with the experience, and absolutely love my puppy. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, and answered questions and did what they could to ease my mind throughout the process.

The whole experience was great
The whole experience was great. Susie and Laila worked with me to secure the perfect pup. Michelle in transport was thorough and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Our toy Cavapoo was delivered this past Sunday and transport was amazing. She is 8 weeks old and already potty trained upon arrival, which we could not believe. The breeder did a wonderful job as well as Honestpet. I would recommend this company to anyone searching for a puppy. It is 100% worth it. Thank you all for the amazing experience.

honest Pet is TOP GUN in finding your dream puppy !
I would have even gone higher than 5 stars if it were allowed ! The professionalism , genuine care & patience & attention to detail was truly unmatched. Includes the salesperson Tiffany right down to white glove delivery from Legacy trans. I like to give special thanks to their customer care specialist Brooke. She went above & beyond to make this a true dream experience for me !
