What are dog ramps used for?<\/b><\/p>\n
Dog ramps are primarily used to help dogs access high surfaces, like sofas, beds, and pickup trucks. While many dogs can jump onto these surfaces without any problems, small breeds and senior dogs may have trouble doing so. When used correctly, a dog ramp can help prevent injuries from falls and reduce joint stress. Furthermore, they can help reduce pain and discomfort for large breeds and older dogs with medical problems.<\/p>\n
What type of incline should a dog ramp have?<\/b><\/p>\n
Your dog’s breed will determine the incline that works best for them. A slope between 18 and 20 degrees should work fine if you have a small dog. If your dog is larger, an incline between 22 to 25 degrees would probably work best. Your best bet is to purchase a ramp with an adjustable incline so you can customize it to your dog’s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What to Look For\u00a0 It’s important to keep the following things in mind when searching for a dog ramp for your pup: How will your dog use it?
