I had been looking to buy a puppy for…
I had been looking to buy a puppy for my wife for months now and after many referrals to the site from people I work with and friends. I took a chance and showed it to my wife after that everything was super simple. From requesting to reserve the puppy. To signing and going over all the forms. I especially want to thank Jodi she was beyond helpful with answering questions and helping make everything run smoothly. But breaking this down so that new buyers feel comfortable. First step was selecting your puppy which was a lot of fun the site has plenty of pics and the little ones and notes about the puppy is super helpful we wanted a high energy puppy with “Skip” we changed his name to Loki. And we got that. Payment was super simple they give step by step instructions and even offer payment plans if needed. Then came all of the prep for the puppies arrival. Pawrade makes it so simple for you they send checklist of what you need to get before and helpful training tips as well. They are so many ways to get in contact with your “agent” I don’t know what else to call her if you have any questions they give their cell number or you can interact via the messaging sight that they use. Now this is the part that I like the best and I know my wife liked a lot too. We didn’t have to pick up the puppy Loki was sent to us. And we could track him via Life360 app. Where he was and when he would be arriving. Now depending on where you are that may differ on what the delivery company does but ours gave us updates each day on top of being able to track them. So above this service is worth it and is so helpful. A couple of things I want to recommend or just side notes I guess 1 once you have a general idea of when you are getting your puppy schedule a wellness check ASAP I waited and almost didn’t get a appointment in the 72 hour window pawrade requested. Now if you can’t please contact them and they will work with you. Either way😁. 2.if you plan on crate training, the puppies are being transported in a crate so it is a huge help because they already become familiar with the crate. For Loki he was able to handle 5 hours right off the bat first night which was 5/6/2022 I am writing this review and he now sleeps all night long and it is 5/11/22. 3. Finally this goes out to Jodi who again was a huge help she gave us many good tips on how to crate train but what I found that really has helped that she recommended is dogtv I didn’t know it was a thing but it is basically white noise for the puppy it helps with sleeping anxiety and any other worries you may have. I know it may not work with every dog but it does with ours I just connected my phone to a Bluetooth speaker and put the speaker near the crate and it really did help calm him and make it easier to sleep. Also if your puppy is having issues with the crate try putting a old shirt or the current T-shirt you were wearing that day in with them. Remember they used to be with their siblings and now are alone in a crate hai bf your sent near them helps them to adapt that much better.
