Amazing customer service and attention to detail! I was assisted in every step of the way to get my new little Yorkie Cooper to me safe and sound. I came across their website after almost being scammed by a fraudulent company and I was so relieved to have found them. I highly recommend that you get your next puppy from them you won’t regret it! I will definitely use them again in the future.

Mawoo Pets and their staff were amazing to work with. They made the process easy and kept me up to date on how my new puppy was doing. We received our new puppy a few days ago and she is amazing and adapting well to our family.

If you are wondering if this is the best service let me assure you it is. Everything about this experience has exceeded my expectations. As a former veterinary technician wildlife rehabber and zookeeper I know great animal and pet people when I meet them. Mawoo is bringing lives together in all the right ways. I’m telling everyone about this and of course seeing is believing. Our new bundle of joy arrived just as described but beyond our wildest dreams we are totally in love and now on day five after delivery. The customer vip treatment was an unexpected bonus and the breeder was so nice and caring.
Puppy: Max, Shorkie

OMG it was the best experience I have ever had. I got scammed for over two grand from another place so I was very reluctant. Mawoo was absolutely outstanding, kept in contact throughout the whole thing even when I got home. It’s a smooth transition to getting your baby home ... this is the way to go!
