ramp system

Q:
Max, my boss's Mastiff, is Arthritic and has difficulty getting
into the car.
Do you know of any ramps for dogs?
-J.M.,
Chicago, Ill.
A:
Yes, I do. Several ramps are available from dogramp .com. The smallest
is 56 inches long and 16 inches wide, for $119. Another is the same
length and 18 inches wide for $139. Product manager Bill Greene
says he most often recommends the easy to climb Telescoping Dog
Ramp, which extends to 76 1/2 inches long and 18 inches wide, for
$179. Because it doesn't bend or wobble, the Telescoping Ramp helps
dogs feel sure-footed. These ramps can be used indoors or outside
and are available from www.dogramp.com or phone 877-364-5438.
It's
true these ramps help arthritic dogs, but they're also used to assist
canines to win uphill battles with heart problems, following surgeries,
cancer treatments and other conditions. |
