PawradeReviews 65

We started looking for a ShihTzu pup recently. We were almost scammed by someone and then found Pawrade. I loved that you could browse through pics and mark the ones you were interested in and go back later and look again. Once we decided to go ahead with the adoption, it was so easy. Pawrade associates kept me updated on every part of the process and were always available for any of my questions/concerns. I would not hesitate to use this company again when we decide to get our little Bogey a sister.

We got our little pug puppy through Pawrade and we were very impressed with the entire process. There were no surprises along the way as to the contract, the cost, the responsibility on both sides and info on the puppy we wanted. We were kept in the loop on everything right up to a phone call today, five days after getting our little guy, to ask how we all are doing. We've never gotten a puppy from another state before, but it's all good and I highly recommend Pawrade!

I had an amazing experience with Pawrade! From the moment I reached out with questions, their team was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They took the time to answer every question I had and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. You can really tell they care about their puppies and their customers. I felt supported every step of the way and couldn't be happier with my new furry family member. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a puppy!

I just got a German shepherd from Pawrwde and everything went very smoothly, any questions I had were answered right away. Overall great experience and I would definitely recommend them.

Everything was going great, until it came time to pick up Nano from the breeder. We drove to Sturgis, Michigan, a round trip of nearly 6 hours. When he arrived(right on time), we saw Nano in the car and were thrilled however, the breeder said the dog we thought and were lead to believe by the Pawrade website and all of the staff at Pawrade was a male, the dog the breeder had was a female. We said this was not possible however, upon checking further on date of birth, there was no way Nano was ever going to be a male. Pawrade is guilty of false advertising and lack of communication with the Breeder. We feel that as a minimum we should be at least partially reimbursed for this situation, for the long drive, for getting a female and not a male, and since we took delivery on Mother's Day, the advertised 10% discount! The Breeder, Enos offered a substitute Male Frenchy, which didn't have near the great markings which Nano had. He also stated that if we didn't accept the Female that we would have to start the entire process over. We finally opted to accept the Female. We hope that further action can be avoided by Pawrade providing a reasonable cash settlement.
Thanks for addressing this matter in a timely fashion. Barb and David Call

I would be very careful buying from Pawrade. They refused to show me DNA tests of the mom and dad and they refused to allow me to pay for a dna test of the puppy. There are several puppies with genetic heart and eye diseases amongst others and dna genetic testing is the only way to really know the health of the puppy. Getting good vet checkups is not going to cut it. Genetic testing via embark test is the way to make sure you have a healthy puppy. I will only buy from a breeder that allows me to get the dna testing done. I would be careful buying from here. They are nothing but a puppy broker and clearly do not care about the health of the puppy!

Our chocolate lab puppy came to us 10 days ago with parasites and resource guarding. He is on meds that we paid for to help him feel better. However, he has been resource guarding everything in the house. He growled and snaps when we put on and take off his harness amongst. He resource guards his toys. This is a nightmare to my family with children. Especially when his page stated he was socialized with children and crate trained which he's not. He cries, whines and barks while in the crate.

I am a veterinarian, and I am very concerned about my family's experience with Pawrade. My mother-in-law and father-in-law purchased a 7-month-old Cavapoo puppy from Pawrade in July 2024. I had been very concerned about using this website because I always recommend meeting a dog in person before becoming their forever home. Pawrade requires you to pay before meeting the dog, and they do not allow you to see where or how the dog was raised. Given the area of Ohio where my in-law's puppy came from, I had strong concerns that she would be from an Amish "high volume breeder," despite the "No Puppy Mill Pledge" on the website. I was worried that the dog would either have medical issues or behavioral issues that we could not know about until it was too late.

There was a delay of a couple weeks in getting the dog because of some medical issues, but they were eventually able to bring her home. My in-laws met up with her Amish owners in a parking lot.

This poor little dog is absolutely terrified of almost everything. She is much more comfortable being outdoors than inside. She prefers being among other dogs (she is the only dog in this household). She was terrified of most things in the house and all strangers. Even though she was 7 months old when they brought her home, she had never seen a leash before and did not know how to take a walk. After 6 months, she is warming up to my in-laws. They love her despite her severe anxiety. They have spent a lot of time and money taking her to multiple dog training courses and socialization time at an expensive doggy day care. Their dog trainer says that this Cavapoo is a "rescue," no matter how much my in-laws paid for her. She acts just like the dogs you find in shelters that have been rescued from puppy mills.

I am so sorry for everyone involved. Please do not use Pawrade. Find a dog from a shelter, or from a responsible breeder who will put their name on their dogs, allow you to see their facilities, and allow you to meet the dog before you bring her home

I purchased a puppy through Pawrade. Don't be fooled by their website. I was and regret it. This puppy can't be trained! I don't want to leave her at a shelter for fear she'll be mistreated. Purchase a puppy dog that you can visit when born and pick out the one you want. Don't trust a breeder you will never meet! It's been heartbreaking for me.

Pawrade definitely works with puppy mills! My dog is so severely damaged I have spent over $6k thus far!

The team is horrible!

DO NOT GET A PUPPY THROUGH PAWRADE!

I love my st. Bernard. So I have spent 15k in the last year to keep him. He needed eye surgery to correct his lower eyelids from turning in. He also has severe hip dysplasia with muscular atrophy and is about half the weight he should be at his age...The pawrade guarantee is essentially useless. READ IT. I didn't like how he arrived. It seemed he was stuck in his own waste for days. His white fur was stained...it eventually came out. I worry about the breeders. Will never buy a dog online again.
