Design. Steps versus Ramp. Can your dog
handle stairs but cannot jump up and onto there favorite couch? A small set of stairs might be the answer. If your dog has trouble
with stairs, a ramp might be the better choice.
Weight. Is the ramp/stairs going to be
used in more than one place? A lightweight portable option might be
the answer. Is your dog on the heavy size? A sturdy staircase or
ramp for up to 250 pounds might be required.
Cost. If your pet has several “favorite” spots around the house, it might be wise to invest in a
lower cost product and buy several rather than move around one ramp or staircase.
Sturdiness. Does your dog need assistance into a car or van? If you will be walking up the ramp
with your dog, it will need to be sturdy enough for both of you.Some ramps can handle up to 250 pounds, but others won’t hold that
much weight. Be certain to consider the structure and weight constraints when making your selection.
Ease of Cleaning. Is your senior dog a mud magnet? Is she prone to accidents? A washable ramp designed for
indoor/outdoor use might be your best choice.
Portability. Does your dog go everywhere with you? You might want a ramp that is portable to give
your canine friend the accessibility that you both deserve. Ramps can be lightweight and foldable for easy use anywhere you and your
senior dog want to go.
