PawradeReviews of pawrade.com

Unbelievably horrific experience! After patiently waiting and finding my dream dog on this website, I called immediately to figure out how I can claim the puppy and was told I need to pay in full & just like many websites, the list price is not what you pay. There’s hidden fees & travel & insurance & something called a “health guarantee“. Ha! What a joke. I received my puppy and followed all of the required steps. I had him less than eight months when he suddenly became sick and I spent thousands & thousands of dollars I didn’t have to take him to the vet and the emergency hospitals. I say that with an S because plural hospitals to try and find out what was wrong and within seven days he had passed away. Pawrade and their payment company Pet Pay do not guarantee the health of the puppy & when it came to his tragic passing, it was my fault for not getting an autopsy done. So they will not help reimburse the cost of the puppy nor provide me with a new puppy. They also will not flag that breeder or help me get in contact with the litter mates to warn those families. It’s been nothing but an unbelievably expensive heartbreak to work with this company and all the finger-pointing that goes with the charges and the bad news. Do not use this website. Do not give them your payment information and do not get your hopes up.

It was a big red flag for me! After picking the right puppy and sending them the 3,000.00 dollar payment and the 2 military lD’s that they had requested; they had the audacity to ask me to send them a copy of my bank statement, a copy of my tax records and a copy of my vehicle title. A big red flag was raised for me. I do not recommend this place. Be careful people!

I initially thought the process went smoothly. Delivery did. But we now realized puppy we bought is not a full bred yorkie let alone a teacup as we were led to believe. Not all declaws remove. Vet found no embedded chip. The ‘signature’ breeder and pawrade lied saying isla was tracking to be 5 pounds fully grown. On papers no mention of isla but penny. Our first vet visit she was over 4 pounds at 3 months and vet estimates her to be 10-12 pounds. So much for a supposed teacup from parents rated at 4 pounds each. Pawrade and this ‘signature’ breeder are a fraud. Dont ever buy a pup from this ripoff site. Bottom line we love our pup which we were lied about but will never buy off pawrade again. Both them and ‘signature’ breeder offered no recourse. Beware

My husband purchased our frenchie as a surprise. First the puppy showed up at our door with the most horrific smell I have ever smelled. I had to immediately give him a bath which took a long time to get him clean as he was beyond filthy. Then- We noticed the dog had diarrhea- didn’t think to much of it as he did travel for a day. Then we noticed the extreme bloody diarrhea. In which we had to rush him to the emergency vet. They gave him antibiotics and Iv for dehydration - once back home after spending all that money to get him checked. We have noticed that the dog was eating his own poop. Which can mean a numerous of things. But my first thought is that more then likely the 14 week old puppy learned this behavior from its mother. Which in return makes me believe the breeder clearly is probably a puppy mill and does not care about their pets. We contacted the breeder and also pawrade. We have to go thru so many hurdles in order get our refund for the emergency vet. I do not believe this website does their proper Due diligence on all breeders. No one and I mean no one should be receiving a puppy smelling and covered in it’s own Feces

We have been signature breeders with Pawrade for 4+ years. Today they decided that they no longer wanted to partner with us because we did not like that they charge the customer double for everything. we had a cust ask if we would hold the puppy for a month, we agreed and asked for 350 to help with food costs. Pawrade charged the customer 650. We charge 4000 for a puppy Pawrade charges the customer 8000. You are better off going directly to a breeder. Ask for the breeder information IF you look at a puppy on pawrade, but DO NOT go through pawrade you are over paying. You are paying DOUBLE what the breeder is asking.

Sold me a sick dog afflicted with anemia, pneumonia and an enlarged heart. There is no excuse for what happened. I am tending to my puppy with help from a vet, and she is stable for now - but she's not out of danger. We are very distressed because there is still a chance she will have to be hospitalized. None of this would not have happened had Pawrade done its due diligence on ALL fronts. The burden of errors is on Pawrade. No excuses! Learned my lesson the hard way. Don't let all the 4 and 5 star reviews blind you.

I spent my entire savings in order to reserve what appeared to be, and sounded like, a super sweet and adorable puppy, BUT I ended up getting a different puppy than the one I reserved! I even paid $1,000 extra for the one I wanted b/c they described her as: “ a delightful puppy with a lovable personality who adores being held and cuddled. She thrives on running and playing in the yard with her favorite new toys. is incredibly friendly and loves everyone she meets, making her a perfect addition to any family. Her affectionate nature ensures she will quickly become a beloved member of your household. playful spirit and loving demeanor are bound to bring joy and warmth to your home.” I spent extra for that one b/c she sounded like she’d make a great ESA, however when she’s meeting new people she is shy and hesitant, doesn’t like to snuggle or cuddle, prefers to lay away from people rather than next to them, close to being COMPLETELY DISINTERESTED IN ANY HUMAN AT ALL! So NOTHING AT ALL like her description! While waiting for her to come I expressed concern that in the recent pics I’d requested she looked different than before and she actually looked more like her sister. I even requested a side by side pic prior to her arriving in order to alleviate my suspicions and conveniently this request was IGNORED and that pic was never provided. Sure enough I can compare pics of the sister to this puppy and it’s the one that cost less, that I did not want, that I got. Even my kids can notice the difference. The way this one moves when playing can be compared to the posted video and it’s clearly that other puppy! The tails are different, muzzles different, coloring/markings, mannerisms all those of the other puppy. I was swindled out of a LARGE SUM of $$$, tricked, deceived, bamboozled, hoodwinked! WHAT A SCAM!!! I will NEVER EVER purchase another dog from this site nor will I EVER recommend it to anyone else! HORRIBLE experience! Poor communication, even the type of travel option I’d selected got switched. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL! It’s hard to bond with an animal that lacks ALL the traits you were seeking! It’s not like we can travel down the street and request an exchange or a refund for the switch-a-roo stunt that was pulled on us! I am ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED AND DISGUSTED in our experience and the outcome. We were all so eager and excited for this new family member and we are all feeling let down by the outcome. So sad, we deserved to get the family member we desired and the puppy deserved to get the family it best matched with. Feels VERY much like a PYRAMID SCHEME!!!!!!!!

Shiba Inu I spent over $4000 for a purebred. I received him and just by looking at him, I knew something was off. I took him to the vet the next day and my vet stated he was not a purebred. The only part that resembles a Shiba is the eyes. I will be completing a DNA test.
