PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT this company!!! They are about the money! I lost my chihuahua fur baby and decided to purchase another… I came across Pawrade and thought ok I might not have any issues! The breeder in Arkansas had taken her chihuahuas to her Veterinarian who checked off that the chihuahua did not have an open fontenelle… when I took him to my Veterinarian he clearly had one! I even felt it and so did the technicians…this was falsified documentation on the breeders part! This Chihuahua was not cheap in price and this is something that could end up being a concern later on down the road… I took him back to my Veterinarian and there is no change! I gave all documentation to Petpal who deals with all this including the money you spend on the pet and they could care less knowing both documents were in front of them! IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS YOU BETTER KNOW THEY WONT DO NOTHING FOR YOU! THEY GET YOUR MONEY AND YOUR BASICALLY STUCK! That is not only heartbreaking but it’s LYING and being DECEIVING to customers! I WILL NEVER REFER ANYONE HERE! You don’t gamble with things like this… this could possibly be heartbreaking for me clearly after I told Pawrade about Loosing my fur baby! DONT TAKE A CHANCE bc clearly this veterinarian was in a rush for this breeder

I purchased a puppy through Pawrade a couple of weeks ago. As instructed, I took him to the vet for his initial wellness check the next day after his arrival. During the exam, the veterinarian expressed concern over the puppy’s history of parasites, noting it was more extensive than what is typically observed. It’s troubling that the puppy showed signs of parasitic infection both before and after delivery, yet was still approved for transport. This raises questions about the integrity of the health clearance process. The situation has created a difficult and stressful environment, especially as I now have to isolate him from my other dogs to prevent further risk. Given the strict expectations Pawrade places on buyers, it is disappointing to see that those same standards were not upheld on their end. Based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable recommending Pawrade to others.

This company is as close as it can be to a scam while still producing a product. They did deliver a puppy to me after I paid for it. It was the middle of the night. The puppy was filthy and sprayed with perfume, so just arriving in her new home after days of travel in the middle of the night I had to put her in the bath. She was terrified of me and hid under every piece of furniture she could. She was nearly impossible to housebreak, clearly having lived on a cement slab for her first 3 months. If I leave her alone she destroys anything she can touch. In short the puppy is a nightmare. She is 6 months old now and after calling for 3 months I received a picture of a wrinkled form I can fill out to get her papers...? I would never purchase a dog this way again. They kept the breeder's name a secret. This is much worse than a puppy mill.

I had a TERRIBLE experience with Pawrade. Sometimes I would call, and the customer service people were nice and sometimes they were not nice. Rude & impatient. but I thought "Eh, what does it matter? As long as I get my puppy?" I drove from Colorado to NY state to get my puppy and while I did get the puppy I wanted, the breeder was awful. I called them 20 minutes before my arrival. It took the breeder a long time to answer the door, with various family members peeking out at me through the front door window. I heard no dogs barking & when I was finally let in, I was awkwardly left in their living room for over an hour, with various family members periodically peeking in to gawk at me. I did not feel comfortable at all. Then I finally did get my puppy & he was wet, someone clearly have given him a quick bath but it made me question whether he was in a pen somewhere, with his brothers and sister, lying in their filth. It was very clear to me that this was just a way to make money to them. I was told to please follow up letting them know how to the puppy was doing or if I had any questions. I did email when I arrived back in Colorado to let them know the puppy was doing ok. never heard back...ever. I brought my puppy to the vet and the paperwork included a microchip number that did NOT match the microchip inside the puppy. All & all, it was a terrible experience, and I would not go back. I would not recommend going through them. Spend the extra time, money & do your research and find a reputable breeder yourself. UPDATE- I wanted to provide an update in response to Pawrade’s recent claim that I am some kind of “activist” attempting to damage their business. Nothing could be further from the truth. That accusation is not only false—it makes an already disappointing experience even worse. I was a genuine customer who paid over $3000 for my puppy, and everything stated in my review actually happened. I’m not part of any movement, and I’m not here to push an agenda. I simply wanted a Golden Retriever puppy and chose to go through Pawrade. I am not opposed to adoption—in fact, I think it's wonderful when people choose that route—but I personally decided to purchase a puppy. Finally, NO WHERE in my previous review did I mention or persuade someone to adopt a dog instead. So for them to claim I am an activist is not true at all. For Pawrade to dismiss my concerns by labeling me an activist rather than addressing the issues I raised is petty and unprofessional. If I could give them zero stars for their lack of accountability, I would. Their response has ensured that I will never do business with them again. This is not an attempt to harm their business. It is an honest account of my personal customer experience—one that I hope they take seriously and learn from. Sincerely, MH

Wanted a short haired smooth dachshund puppy. They assured me the one I was purchasing was even after several emails by me questioning that fact. Ended up being a wire haired long coat puppy . Advertisements say they can't guarantee coat COLOR which is understandable but any decent reputable breeder would know coat type. Also could not confirm if ivdd was in the lineage of this puppy. Told me to contact breeder but my letter was returned unanswered. I don't now trust this company no matter what they claim.

We can’t even get the dog we wanted why a dog for 3,000 dollars we need discounts to 200 and up

This company does not do an background check on any adopter. As long as you have money, they don't care who gets the dog. This is extremely sad. Selling high energy large breed puppies to people in the 80s with health concerns.

I was looking at a golden doodle on their website, and when I went to go find the breeder, the puppy was located at there was nothing on the website that indicated where or who the breeder was. When I inquired about it, the individual on the phone said that they do all of the background checks and verification so we don’t have to when I stated I didn’t mind doing the background check and checking out the breeder myself they said that’s not allowed and that Pawrade has a thorough Process for their breeders. To me that seems super sketchy I would avoid them as much as possible. There’s nothing other than their word.
