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.

Please do not buy your dog from Pawrade. Dog seemed low energy and upon visit to vet for wellness check it was revealed that we were sold a sick pup. Vet diagnosed pneumonia, gastro infections, high white cell blood count and extreme dehydration. It has been an awful stressful experience dealing with these people. For me its just a fancy puppy mill. I should have known better. There are plenty of bad reviews of similar customer experiences. Don't let the Trustpilot positives fool you..

This company is a scam! Do not use. I put a deposit on a puppy. Later I was informed that the puppy had health issues that required surgery. Pawrade will not refund my deposit but require me to sign a release for the surgery! This company is a scam and cannot be trusted!

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!

Please do not buy your dog from this site. They will call you non stop once you show interest in a dog but when you already purchased the dog and you have a problem they will ignore you and will not answer calls or emails. We purchased a Toy poodle( with insurance offered by Pawrade) who we received on March 16. That same day after he was delivered we noticed that he was coughing and making sounds like he was choking we contacted Pawrade with no answer. We decided to make an appointment for the dog to get checked however there was no available appointments until Monday. On top of the insurance we purchased through Pawrade we decided to get our own insurance. We took him to the vet and he was Diagnosed with Pneumonia. Now, since the dog was sick from March 16 the insurance that we purchased is not covered and Pawrade insurance is not going to cover for the expenses either. The dog is still sick coughing and making choking sounds and till this day we are going back and forth with Pawrade… My puppy needs medical care but my both insurances will not cover any expenses. If you want to purchase a healthy Puppy please stay away from Pawrade!
Attached is a video of the condition my puppy was delivered to us!

I purchased a pavilion puppy in November. I was told that I would be receiving a packet of information with the shot she had received so I could tell my vet what shots she had received.

I never received the information. I have called numerous times. I have e-mailed them. NO LUCK!

I was told one time when I called that they would email me the information but it never came.

VERY POOR service!

I was interested in a puppy and inquired about it. I was told that the customer service rep would be in contact with me to set up a time to meet the puppy and breeder but the person never got back in touch. I then reached out to inquire about the puppy again, only to be told that the puppy was sold to someone else. Very poor customer service. I would recommend that if you are looking for a puppy to go somewhere else that has better customer service and responds quicker.

I purchased two Australian Shepherds from Pawrade, the entire experience was wonderful from working with the sales staff, to the staff giving me information about how to prepare and then travel. My puppies came home within 3 days and they were wonderful to work with as well, I picked ground travel and it was a great company as well. Thank you for my puppy experience and my lovable dogs.

Being a first-time dog owner, my experience with Pawrade was excellent (including the new puppy guide)! I initially communicated with Pam, who provided detailed information about coverage and what to expect. The rest of the team, travel and concierge, promptly responded to any messages I sent, providing updates on my puppy's current weight. Puzzle Pieces kept me informed about any changes with delivery, even informing me of an earlier arrival. The drivers, Chris and Lisa, were kind and caring. These two rock! My puppy arrived to me calm, well fed, and hydrated. I'm very satisfied with Pawrade and the concierge services they provide. I would highly recommend them.

To my shock, I woke one day in September to find my 5 year old dog dead. I've had dogs all my life, but they all lived long, healthy lives. Not this time. I was frantic; I had never been dogless before. In a near panic, I looked online for a puppy, and found Pawrade. I chose a Havanese; my friend had one several years ago. He was delivered to me one evening and, to my surprise, is a terrific puppy! My experience was fantastic! I would recommend Pawrade to anyone looking for a new canine companion.

Puppy Mill

Absolute false advertising of puppies.
DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING or put a reserve (full payment) in until you SEE all breeders pictures of puppy - on all sides of body and face AND sire and mother.
I first asked for pictures of the puppies mother and father. They said they would request them from Breeder … did not give them to me until AFTER I reserved the puppy for full price - THEN sent the father and mothers picture, of which, looked like crossbreed dogs of low quality.
The breeders (after payment) pictures of the puppy looked nothing like the adorable puppy in the Pawrade advertisement. VERY deceptive! I will enclose the breeders pictures of a $4,000 + all taxes, fees, travel, etc…. Pure bred, registered, King Charles Spaniel and her parents.

Date of experience: February 14,2024

Do not purchase a pup from this company. I purchased a pup, 6 months later we found that she has a genetically malformed femoral head. We now are battling this horrible company to get assistance with her medical costs and necessary surgery. Horrible experience, just horrible. They do not have you or your pups best interests at heart and are incredibly dishonest and sell unhealthy pups. I would give them zero stars if I could.

I had a good experience with all of the people involved in my process. They all made sure to answer any questions I had. When I went to pick up my new puppy I had no trouble doing so. It was an easy smooth process that I would recommend for anyone looking to add a new addition to the family! My pup was a little older and they made sure he had all his shots on time before I got him and he was pretty much potty trained!

Breeder & company involved 9 days later no flight info no returned email or text would never do this again. Pls if you fall in love run! Do not go throu this company. Not only do I have to dispute my C.C I have to tell my husband we are not getting our puppy. Shame on me for not doing my homework. This will happen to you. Don't think different! Read the reviews. Look else where. I promise you will be less stressed out. If only I did my research ahead of time. Pls look elsewhere. It's a lot of money to be dealing with inconsistency and NOT knowing when the pup will come. Also as I have read. Most puppies are not healthy. Now what do you do? I googled this company on the better Business Bureau. Nothing came up. I also searched on their website for scams it didn't come up. Regardless! It is not worth the headache or stress. Pls…. Look everywhere

Miniature Dachshund puppies are adorable little dogs that have been bred to be small. They are great pets for families who love animals. These miniature dachshunds are very cute and they come from a long line of purebred dachshunds. You can buy these puppies online or visit a breeder near you.

She was delivered with parasite from a breeder in Indiana. Her name was Cora the paperwork said Donna. We are still fighting with the parasites. The delivery was delayed because of parasite. I bought insurance to help with the cost. They need to check out these so called breeders. It's like they know you fall in love with the dogs purchased and can't send back. Not sure even with insurance what my cost will be for my share. I should have checked out the ratings of these organization before hand. Shame on me, but shame on them for helping sell sick puppies. King Cavaliers are friendly dogs but she acts like she may have been abused not physically but mentally. Do not use these company. Now I'm making payments not only to the Vet but to the company I received the loan from. Since I'm not even sure I received the dog I purchased since it had one name on the website and another when received.

I am a family of three with two dogs (including the one we just got), two cats, three lizards, and chickens. He was great with all of them and is extremely friendly. This business is a great business that should be used more! I just got my pug puppy Preston. When we got him he was happy and healthy. This business cares about the dogs, they took him to the vet before we could have our dog. When our dog needed surgery before he was given to us they didn't make us pay for the surgery. They told us exactly what would happen and when it would happen with our dog. I seriously have doubt that they use puppy mills as my new pup was extremely healthy and no overbreeding was used. As a pug his nose doesn't look like it was bred short, his nose is a bit longer and he has no breathing issues.

I got a dog from pawrade that right off the bat didn't come trained as he was described. Was supposed to be potty trained and cat friendly, but was nowhere near potty trained or friendly with cats. They say you can return your pet, but you basically loose out on all the money you have spent, and we wanted to try to make it work. The way our dog acts is terribly unsocialized, as if he was barely around people and he has bad anxiety. I have doubts that the breeder he was from was credible or trustworthy. What kind of breeder makes zero contact to the person they are selling to? I think he could've potentially been from a very shady backyard breeder. Also, the website has phone numbers that link to questionable sources. Although I love my dog, he has come with a host of behavioral issues which makes me think he came from somewhere that he wasn't socialized with people or treated with any sort of love or given a lick of training.

After changing travel days. Now on day of puppy pickup, the company has ghosted me. I tried to message them multiple times with now reply. And at 11pm they tell me puppy might be picked up the next day to be driven to me. This is after they pushed me into having the dog driven when I wanted her flown to me. Next step I'll be reporting their scam delivery habits to the bbb.

This company does NOT provide vetted breeders and puppies that are up to date on shots. My 14 week old puppy came with ONE parvo shot and ONE combo shot and TWO rabies shots. Additionally, when I tried to file a claim, I was advised that they would only reimburse me for 1 shot. My vet is appalled that they would transport a puppy that is NOT protected from life threatening illnesses. When I posted on their social media page they deleted my comments which 100% confirms that this company is completely illegitimate.

I read so many great reviews on Pawrade site.
For me, unfortunately, experience was not as successful as for other puppy buyers. Even though it's stated that the puppy is available at nine weeks old I had to wait for another extra month.
I asked if I can chat with the breeders, but never received a response.
Paperwork was overwhelming, plus to that I had to submit my photo ID, plus! Take a picture of my face and submit my selfie! To me it was ridiculous!

One week before transportation was set, I received a call that my puppy has pre-existing condition (open fontanelle). I had to sign papers that I will not file health claims.
In two days after that I received another call that my puppy has undescended testicle and I have to sign papers about another health condition.
I've got an impression that Pawrade company trying to push defected puppy! I really believe they getting puppies from puppy mills.

Just like many of the other reviews I've read, once you put that deposit down everyone goes silent. I immediately became concerned and started messaging and I began calling as well. It was not until I messaged and asked to cancel for a refund of my deposit did they start messaging back explaining that would not happen. I received conflicting information on delivery, received incorrect invoices, and still didn't have questions answered. I was told by one of the reps she did not agree with my opinion, which wasn't her place to say in my opinion. I asked to talk to a manager and Charlie was no help. I could see why his employees act the way they do. When I explained how they breached contract and didn't do their part, the lady, Kelli said, so we made one mistake! Yes, one that cost me almost 700.00. And still no answer of my questions. I was told by Charlie he would call me back the next morning with no call. When I questioned I got Kelli again and she said he's in meetings all day. Get real.
This place is a joke, very shady and unprofessional. I filed a complaint with the BBB and sent my contract to my attorney. I would stay away from this company. Attached is my text conversation with one of the reps. I would also be Leary of text conversations vs what is saved in the portal.

I bought a puppy through PetPay/Pawrade and after picking her up and taking her to her first vet visit, I have no doubt that this puppy came from a puppy mill. For starters, only after purchasing the dog (paying FULL price) through the website and waiting until 1 day prior to scheduled pick up was I given the breeder's information. I was given no information on the breeder's practices or pictures of their facilities. I should have known that this was a puppy mill situation at that point - but then the breeder would not let me pick the puppy up at their facility nor was I permitted to meet the parents and I knew there must be a problem. No reputable breeder keeps people from seeing their dogs or their facilities. When I picked the dog up, she was completely filthy and smelly and her ears full of gunk. I took the dog to my vet today and she has ear mites. The dog is also being fed a brand of food that no one I have spoken with recognizes, including my vet. I am going to begin to file claims for the ear mites and hope nothing worse happens... Will update review after going through the claims process.
