Teaching and using steps or a ramp from when your dogs are young can help reduce impact on the joints and muscles. These can be used for in and out of the car or to help your pet get on and off the sofa 🚗🐾
Signs to look out for that your dog may need steps or a ramp:
• Hesitating to jump into or out of the car
• Putting front feet up and hesitating with back legs
• Slipping or losing footing when landing
• History of joint, muscle or spinal problems
• Older pets with mobility issues
If you notice a change in your pets normal movement, it may be worth booking in with your vet for an overall assessment and health check.
Prevention and early intervention can make a big difference 🩵🐾
