Winter adventures with your dog shouldn't end because your senior Lab can't jump into the SUV or your Corgi struggles with your truck's height. The FOUR RUNNER™ Portable Pet Ramp transforms vehicle access from a struggle into a smooth experience, helping to protect both your dog's joints and your back.
Why Dogs Need Ramps for Winter
-
Joint Protection: Arthritis and hip dysplasia can be exacerbated by cold temperatures. The impact from jumping that your dog handled easily in the summer months can become painful when joints are cold and stiff. Ramps are often recommended by professionals for dogs over seven years old, large breeds prone to hip issues, and dogs with existing joint problems.
-
Injury Prevention: Jumping onto icy parking lots risks serious injury. Dogs can slip upon landing, potentially causing ligament damage. A high-quality ramp helps prevent these injuries.
-
Quality of Life: Ramps help your dog stay mobile and included—whether it’s for things they love like winter hikes and holiday travel, or the things they need, like routine trips to the vet.
