dog ramps
April 14th, 2009
Hip injury in dogs is quite common. The hip joint is vulnerable to trauma and/or dislocation because of a dog’s activity. Some dogs are just too active and playful that they wouldn’t think twice about leaping from a high spot down to the ground.
A wrong landing can cause undue pressure on the hip joints. Repetitive trauma to the hips can then lead to complications as a dog ages. To avoid further injury, dog ramps can be positioned in areas of the home where dogs usually stay. This could be beside your bed. A ramp can also be used when climbing in and out of SUVs that are too high. These ramps are especially helpful for smaller dogs.
