Far too many breeds are prone to the likelihood of someday developing a joint condition. Genetic makeup is the number one contributor, but there are also several enviromental factors.
Hip Dysplasia
Elbow Dysplasia
Patellar Luxation
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Syndrome and
Arthritis
Accoding to The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, 47.8% of pomeranians will develop patellar luxation and as many as 73.6% of bulldogs will develop hip dysplasia. Several breeds follow closely behind, but almost all breeds (based on genetics alone) have a chance of developing one joint problem or another to some degree.
Everyday activities like jumping from the couch or bed puts a significant strain on joints. It's a proven fact that pet steps can help to save much of this wear and tear and even prevent the early onset of joint diseases in all breeds.
Pet Stairs Can Also Save Lives
Toy breeds are fragile. Tasha was a 3 pound Yorkshire Terrier. Her mommy had steps by the bed, but Tasha was feeling frisky one day and decided to jump.
Tasha's mommy couldn't blame herself. The surgery Tasha needed to fix her neck was costly, but no expense was spared to try to save the life of this tiny dog. Tasha was a fighter. She made it through the surgery and we all thought that she'd be fine... Unfortunately, when Tasha began aspirating, there wasn't much the vet could do. |
If you plan to adopt a small, medium or large breed dog (or if you have one already), we hope you'll take the risks seriously and consider pet stairs...
Even if you don't buy them here.
You'll never regret the decision that could save the life (or joints) of the dog that loves you.
