G'day, welcome to Paws of Oz
Paws of Oz is an Australian pet supplies store run by people who own the animals our gear is built for. We stock the everyday essentials that actually get used — harnesses, leads, carriers, beds, playpens, car seat covers and calming aids — and we ship them Australia-wide from our warehouse, with free shipping on orders over $59 and Afterpay at checkout.
We started this store for the same reason you're probably here: it's hard to tell from a product listing whether something will survive a Staffy, fit through a rental's narrow doorway, or hold up on a 40-degree afternoon. So we test what we sell, we write down what we learn, and we tell you honestly when the budget option is good enough.
What you'll find in our store
- Dog & cat harnesses — escape-resistant fits for strong pullers and cautious first-timers alike
- Dog leads & leashes — from everyday walking leads to hands-free options
- Pet carriers & travel bags — backpacks and airline-style carriers for cats and small dogs
- Dog car seat covers — keep the backseat (and the boot) survivable
- Pet playpens — fold-flat enclosures for puppies, kittens and renters
- Pet beds & mats — orthopedic and calming beds for joint care and hot sleepers
- Calming collars & anxiety aids — pheromone-based support for storm season and separation stress
- Pet clothing — coats and raincoats that suit Australian weather
- Cat window perches & hammocks — because the window is the best seat in the house
- Cat & dog toys — puzzle feeders, wands and the classics
The blog: real owners, real testing
What makes us different is that our store comes with a proper blog — over 300+ guides written in the first person by our actual team: a veterinary nurse, a certified dog trainer, a certified feline behaviour consultant, a professional groomer, a pet-industry data analyst and long-time owners across every state. They write about the gear they've used, the mistakes they've made and what they'd buy again — in plain Australian English, not marketing copy.
You can meet everyone on the writers page, and read exactly how we research, review and fund our content. Short version: we test what we recommend, we don't publish sponsored posts, and when the cheap option is genuinely fine, we say so.
A note on pet health
Our team includes a veterinary nurse, but nothing on this site is veterinary advice. Guides about calming aids, senior pets and parasite control are general information drawn from personal experience and published guidance. For anything about your pet's health — including whether a calming product suits your animal — please talk to your vet, and always read the product label.
Getting in touch
Questions about sizing, orders or returns? Our contact page has the details, and a real person answers. We're an Australian business, we know the gear we sell, and we'd rather help you choose right the first time than process a return later.
Thanks for stopping by — and give your pet a scratch behind the ears from us.
