Do you have an older pet? It’s hard to see our pets slow down. Your once active pet may now have difficulty getting up the stairs or jumping on the couch. But there is so much you can do to help. These wonderful products are available at most pet stores and can help your pet feel so much more comfortable and happy.
* Raised food and water bowls: Raised food and water bowls can help elderly pets with mobility issues by reducing the amount of strain on their necks and backs while they eat and drink. Elevated bowls can also help pets with arthritis or joint pain to avoid bending down and putting pressure on their joints. Provide easy access to the litterbox and bowls.
* Non-slip flooring: Non-slip flooring can be helpful as it can reduce the risk of slipping and falling. If you have hardwood or tile floors, consider adding area rugs or non-slip mats to provide traction.
* Support harnesses and slings: Support harnesses and slings can be helpful by providing support and stability. These devices can help pets with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or other joint issues to get up and move around more easily.
* Ramps and stairs: Ramps and stairs can help your pet have access to high surfaces like beds, couches, or cars without having to jump or climb. Ramps and stairs can be especially helpful for dogs with arthritis or joint pain, as they can reduce the amount of pressure on their joints.
