Doggie’s love to go for rides with their pet parents and trying to get into the vehicle whether it is a high or low entrance is painful, so dog ramps for cars were introduced to aid in their mobility.  It is so much easier for dogs to walk up a dog ramp offering protection to the dog’s joints preventing a painful experience in their mobility.  Dog ramps for cars are also available for pickup trucks, vans, and SUV’s, and calculated to meet the dog’s size and height for entrance.  Most of these dog ramps for cars can be folded for storage when not in use, but can also be used in getting up and down stairs, and some are telescopic for the distance required to extend the slope were the dog will be more comfortable.  Be Happy!

In choosing a dog car ramp, choose one that is appropriate for the size of your dog, and most of all, one that is lightweight making it easy to handle and can be folded for storage when not in use.  Keep in mind the slope of the dog ramp will make a difference for your dog entering the car, van, or SUV.  A lot depends on whether the dog will enter through a four-door car, a side entrance on a van, or from the back on a SUV using the tailgate.   Any inference with the normal daily life can be reduced by methods offered by pet parents in relieving their dog’s pain by using a dog car ramp to still enjoy doggie life with minimal pain and be happy campers for as long as possible, and sometime with these methods, life does get easier and may possibly disappear in time.  Be Happy!

Pet parents become caretakers so to speak, and provide ways for their dogs to enter their vehicle with less effort.  This is where a dog ramp would benefit your dog by just walking up the dog ramp and into the vehicle, no jumping required.  This is one of greatest ways in helping your dog to live a long and happy life with less pain because their dog ramp eliminates some of their pain.   Our pets love is unconditional and taking care of your dog will leave you with the feeling of love and pride.  Be Happy!

Most new pet parents would not even think about teaching a young dog to go up and down a ramp, but it may save difficulty in trying to adjust when they are older.  One of the best ways to teach your dog to walk on their dog ramp is to lay it down on the ground and let me get the feel of the surface on their paws.  A treat every few feet may help as well.  Try even to set their food dish down on the ramp, it will not take them long to learn that all is okay.  Some vehicles are harder than others are, because heights may differ, but teaching your dog to walk up their ramp will be a fun thing to watch, and could save some heartache as they grow older.  The ramp will be easier for your dog if the ramp is longer to allow a lower degree of incline.  This will make it so much easier for them to get in and out.  Your dog may even have their own wheelchair and having the ramp for them to walk up on is the greatest gift you could possibly give them to be included in family activities.  Dog ramps vary in size and strength according to your dog’s weight and size.  There are small ramps for small dogs that provide the necessary incline for them to be comfortable in walking up and down.  Make sure that there are side railings and good support to keep the dog ramp from sliding.  Your dog may not like the feel of the grit surface at first, so gradually let them get use to it and the purpose of what it is for.  Be Happy!

One of the new items is a shedding tool to remove your dog’s old hair so the new hair will look shiny and healthy.  This awesome tool pulls the old hair from underneath which is hard to get with the regular combs used in brushing.  Several styles of pet booster seats will be available, with one that folds and slides into the dog’s suitcase along with a bed.  Really is a neat and convenient item.  Tick collars will be available in keeping those nasty things from biting your dog and embedding themselves into their skin.  Styles that are different from the ordinary dog crate, is a wicker dog crate that will conform to any home décor.  A spray and gel product that will remove plaque and tarter on your dog’s teeth is effective for their dental care.  One of the new dog ramps also offers a carrying bag to transport the dog’s car ramp.  If not in use, it may be stored under your bed, or closet.  Last, but not least is a ‘handi’ portable dog water dish that can be used to keep your dog hydrated on their long walks or rides in the car.  Be Happy!

I was just thinking the fun we had as children growing up and having Easter egg hunts on Easter Sunday.  All the preparations ahead of time dying eggs, coloring them and creating delightful Easter baskets with goodies galore.  Please keep in mind that dogs love chocolate, but do not give them any because it can be fatal.  You do not want to experience a tragedy that could have been avoided.  Give them one of their treats they love instead.

Just because we are not children anymore does not mean that this tradition should stop, and I am quite positive that it is still a celebration that will go on … Happy Easter , and Be Happy!

What can be done to help with this problem?  Dog ramps are the answer. A lightweight affordable dog ramp is available and is perfect for mini-vans, couches, and more.  The pet parent is better equipped to provide an easy way for their dog to get in and out of their vehicle with less strain on them. Ramps vary in size and weight depending on the need and purpose.  Walking up and down on a pet ramp may not be exactly what your dog wants to do at first, but once they have become accustomed to the purpose, they will love it.  A good way to encourage the use of the ramp is to lay it down on the floor or on the ground and wait for them walk on it by themselves.  You could put a few treats on the ramp, or you can even set the dog’s food bowl down on the ramp. The feel under their paws may feel different at first, but they will become use to it. Use pet ramps in swimming pools and other places hard to reach. Pet ramps are portable and easy to handle. Most ramps fold for storage when not in use. To a smaller pet, or a toy breed they can be overwhelmed in trying to get up and down on the sofa, bed, or chair.  It becomes a huge effort. So, keep in mind the strength of the ramp, the weight of your dog, and the distance to be used. Pay particular attention to the slope as well. Purchasing a dog ramp will be one of the best things you could ever do for your pet, and yourself.  Be Happy!

Older dogs will be affected with arthritis, hip problems and other ailments that limit their activity, so providing a dog ramp for them to get in and out of your vehicle will be easier for them.  I myself, have this problem with my dog, which is a Chocolate Lab going on 14 years old, and if you have followed my blog, have heard about my boy, Pope.  He has been on medication for several years now and is still hanging in there.  He wants to go upstairs, but I can see that it is painful, so he chooses to stay downstairs in the basement most of the time.  There are two levels of steps. One is only four steps up and down, whereas, the ones going up to the top floor are eight steps above.  My heart hurts when he tries to go upstairs to be with his pet family, so we eat all of our meals downstairs so we can all be together.  After dinner in the evening, he still wants to play, so I throw his play toys for him and he runs after them until he gets tired.  You know, I could go on and on about him, but I realize that this is not what this blog is all about.  Dog ramps are in order, so keep this product in mind for further reference if your dog is still healthy. Taking care of your faithful friend whose love is unconditional, will always leave you with the feeling of love and pride in knowing that you have done your best.  Be Happy!

There are many products designed to help your dogs mobility and will enable them to move around easily with less pain.  Dog ramps are great to help them get into your vehicle instead of jumping up to get inside. Jumping is painful so as your dog ages, you must always be aware of your dog’s discomfort. The dog ramps are usually about 6 feet long, but can be longer to accommodate the slope required for them to walk up and down comfortably. There are telescopic dog ramps that slide inward for maneuvering easily, and are lightweight. There are ramps that fold, and are longer and wider, but this depends on where you need to use it. The slope is important in deciding the length, depending if your dog likes to ride in the back of a pickup truck, a boat, an automobile, or an SUV. Whichever you choose will be affordable and you and your dog will get many fun times together, going for a ride.  Be Happy!
