Classy Tails is an Australian-owned business, started and built by passionate pet owners.
In 2006, Founder Fotini Pratis was looking for a means to help Zeus, her ageing Rottweiller, continue to live an active life.
When she couldn’t find anything suitable, Fotini designed a high quality, practical, large pet stroller and manufactured them offshore.
The stroller was trialled and tested on her beloved Zeus before going to market.
The stroller gave Zeus a new lease on life and instigated a new business focused on caring for pets and their people.
In the early days, Classy Tails specialised in aged pet care products, such as trailers, steps and ramps, and memory foam beds. Over the years the range has expanded to include premium products, such as pet clothing, carrier bags, harnesses and leads for pets of all ages, shapes and sizes.
Classy Tails knows what customers want for their pets – only the best. Whether it’s playing with a brand new addition to the family, keeping your buddy stimulated and entertained, or helping your old mate move more freely, Classy Tails can recommend the right product for you and your pet.

In loving Memory of our beautiful boy Zeus. In our hearts forever. RIP beautiful boy x
I meet Zeus when he was 6 years of age and l remember thinking, as my now husband introduced us:
“If Zeus disapproves then that will be the end of our relationship.”
Thankfully, he didn’t.
He walked around me like a Boss, and licked my hand.
*Sigh of relief – l later married his daddy and welcomed him (and my husband) into my heart.
At the age of 10, we unfortunately noticed a growth on Zeus’ nose.
If only.
The day of his surgery, l never said a proper Goodbye.
But he never did.
My boy. My Zeus, l miss you more than words could ever explain.
