Smaller dogs have big personalities. Most of the small dogs
think they are big dogs. They try to do everything that big dogs do, but they
can’t realistically do it all. For instance, small dogs may try to jump on the
couch or your bed, but they probably don’t quite make it. If they do, when they
jump down, they put themselves at risk for injury because of their small bones.
You can help your small dogs take big steps by using pet stairs to help them
get on and off furniture or even in and out of the car. You can find a variety
of pet stair options online and in local pet stores. It’s important to check
the weight limits of the stairs you want as some stairs hold different weights.
For instance, plastic, hollow stairs are best for small dog breeds. Even foam
stairs will work. Larger breeds will need something sturdier. Contact your pet clinic cy-fair to learn
more.
