Tyler and Dash Get a Doggo Ramp

As a dog dad, I believe in sharing info about good pet products with other pet parents, to keep our pets safe and healthy, so today's blog recommends DoggoRamps.

Because our small dogs love being on the couch next to us (or even by themselves) and jumping on and off risks ruptured disks, I've looked for ramps to help them safely. I tried a 2 step stair, but if they're not on that side of the couch, they won't use it. But a ramp can be angled to take up most of the couch length if we are not around. I settled on the Doggo Ramp and I'm glad I did!  Here's why: 

The Doggo Ramp is a great quality product. It's a sturdy, easy to use, ramp to help smaller dogs get up and down from couches, chairs and beds. It prevents back injuries (they should never jump off furniture). The ramp folds up nicely, it's well-constructed, easy to climb and easy to adjust! The craftsmanship is impeccable. If you have a small dog, this is the best ramp you can get.

I love the ability to adjust the heights easily, and the grip-able surface on the ramp makes it easy for dogs to climb and descend (whereas some other ramps use carpet, that is slippery.). Doggo Ramps are the best. I highly recommend them! 

Doggo Ramps were an idea of Ryan Beauchesne, the dad of the famous Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund (who 2 years ago underwent back surgery).  Franklin, one of our Dachshunds had to have surgery for a ruptured disc and had to learn how to walk and urinate again - it took months and it was painful. I wish we found this years ago.

It took just a couple of hours to get our Dachshund, Tyler and his brother Dash (Doxie/Chihuahua mix) to feel comfortable with it. (It's similar to the ramps used in dog agility).  

Use treats to get your dogs familiar with it, and I found using the "upstarts" / "downstairs" command works best.
