I need a ramp to go over the steps on front and back porch.

I have a dog with severe arthritis in his front legs. Getting up and down steps difficult some days. But I can't have a permanent ramp put in.

Answer:

In Memory of my Beloved Bridget, I am designing "Aids for Aging Pets" and just posted a question to research for interest in this. I also have a design for a ramp for steps that doesn't have to be permanent.

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry, but at this time we do not offer ramps that can go over steps.

Answer:

What height do you need? I mean, what is the height from the floor to the edge of the tub. We don't have anything at this time that is specifically for hooking to a tub, but most of our Drs. Foster and Smith brand stair-steps as well as our indoor non-slip ramp are made to hold dogs up to 200 lbs or more. If you would like a more specific product based off height, I can give you a more specific suggestion if you can get me the height from the floor to the edge of the tub.

I have designed a set of steps that allow pets, especially aging pets, easy up & down access to a sofa, bed or chair. I'm in the process of finding a manufacturer.

Foam stairs stink

I have a covered 5 stair and it smells awful. I washed the cover, but the stink is the foam. I placed it outside, but it still stinks awful. I put baking soda on it, but that did not work either. I washed it off with the water hose and left it outside for days, but that didn't help. What do I do now? They are to expensive to just throw out. Help

Answer:

Have you tried Nature's Miracle which removes stains and odors. I believe this product is now under the name Petastic. I have used this product for years and have found it actually does what it is supposed to do.

Pet Steps

FOR Doctors Foster & Smith and/or Pet Owners... Is there an interest in Pet Aids, specifically for Aging Pets?
I tried my best to make things easier for my Beloved Cocker Spaniel Bridget as her age presented her with physical challenges she did not understand. In bridget's Memory, I decided to attempt designing "Aids for Aging Pets." I have already finished a design for a unique set of steps that will accomodate pets with arthritic as well as sight challenges. Not a Ramp or Conventional Step Design. All thoughts on this will be appreciated.
