Easier Transport.
You do have a proven easy travel option for the disabled or aging pets with joint issues. Dogs who may have difficulty with a longer staircases do better with ramps. Canine handicapped, dogs recovering from surgery, and even pets with arthritis can experience a change of scenery.

Dog ramps partner nicely with the Pet Stroller (see article) for aiding mobility restriction. The ramp provides a smooth transition from home to stroller to vehicle. Different levels are no longer an obstacle, inside or outdoors. Go for a boat ride or swim.

"Ramp –shmamp, will she use it?"
You say you have an adult pet or senior citizen set in her ways, can we teach an old dog new tricks? Where motivation lies, success is sure to follow.

Try toy or bait, and praise it up. After all these years you know the way to her heart should the stubborn one stick all fours in the ground. As with any introduction to something new, set the stage and make it a positive first experience.

Designs and Styles.
Vary in width and length, construction and surface. Confirm your needs before you purchase. Is this for land or water? Your needs then determine desired features.

Features include climber traction, stability, and durability. Look for non-slip ladder and a weight rating twice that of the dog. If the ramp is not easy to use you’ll pass on this essential dog supply and may live to regret it.

An ideal choice? A dog ramp that is strong enough, long enough, offers easy clean up traction, and is lightweight enough to handle frequently.
