After 1 week experience
The service of Pawrade is 5 stars from the amazing concierges Holly and Carli along with Cindy for providing me important information and details about the whole process of buying my puppy Makenzie and her transportation. I highly recommend for those that can afford it and are able to deal with decent breeders. They have different kinds of payment plan too. I just wish I'm more financially stable though. Now I have to look for a second job cause it really does feel like having a child. I admire Pawrade's honesty about possible unfortunate situations that could happen when buying from them and the entire process. I'm thankful for their guidance with Petpay's help as well. Aaron and Karen from Wags on Wheels were so kind and generous for safely delivering my Pomeranian at my door freshly bathed in good condition and for their fun updates as well. She brought joy and happiness to my family. It's still the first week so we're all adjusting together. It's 4 stars because the breeders didn't answer my questions about Makenzie's lifestyle and her favorite treats which I'm currently struggling to find cause she didn't like the ones I bought, but I do appreciate them though for sending me pictures of her parents which is actually a must/important and her updated pictures before buying her. She's unexpectedly playful, messy, loving, and sassy. She's far from her description, but she's a teething puppy after all. She's able to make herself feel at home easily too. She looks so loving and adorable. My family and the vets says she's the most beautiful dog which I agree. So far her vets after her wellness check says she's in good condition. I'll see though in her upcoming vet appointments once they do more tests on her, hopefully she's really ok. Unfortunately I'm currently suffering with Puppy Blues because I'm mentally and emotionally not prepared at all for a dog. I was naive and delusional for buying her. Hopefully it will get better. I want her to be fully my happiness and not a burden. I think it's also because of people's constant nagging and judgement of how I am as a dog owner how I'm too this, too that. Why I'm doing this wrong when I am just following Pawrade's instructions. I feel miserable, insecure, broken, anxious, and overwhelmed. My once normal life is now messed up. I have headaches, I'm sleep deprived, and lost a little weight as well. I thought I was able to adjust my lifestyle easily once I have her, but I can't. I want to fully love and appreciate my pup without feeling resentful. I work every night and we are not close like I thought we were from the first couple of days anymore. She bonded more with my family members, but it's ok because they all take a good care of her better than I do. I'm currently trying crate train her slowly so I can leave her in a safe place while I'm busy doing important things and chores when I can't supervise her and it's been difficult so far making her view me as her alpha. I'm still learning and growing. I can't be a decent dog owner within weeks or maybe months. I'll try my very best to take care of her for the rest of Makenzie's life. Give her the best life and memories as I can. I'm glad Makenzie is able to fulfill her purpose of being the light and joy for my family. It will not be an easy journey, but hopefully I'll feel more at ease as first time pet owner. Makenzie will probably be my first and last pet. I'll try to be more understanding of her needs as well and hopefully she'll do the same for my family and I. Hopefully I'll get a second job soon for her needs. My advice to those first time pet owners is to just be prepared emotionally and mentally with the amount responsibility you'll endure and potential sacrifices you will do and have to give up. This has been my raw and honest review. I'm glad I chose Pawrade.

Hey Eric, We completely understand that a new pup can be a challenge. But we promise that it will all get so much better as your pup learns, grows and matures and also as you become more in tune with your pup as the two of you bond. It will all be worth it in the end. You will see that a dogs love is unconditional and you will have possibly the best friend ever. Best wishes for many fun filled adventures ahead.
