Give Your Pets The Freedom Of Mobility With Pet Steps
Pet supplies are not only limited to food/water bowls, cages, and a fluffy bed. Many pet owners realize that pets have certain mobility requirements, and it’s our job to provide that for them. That’s where items like dog stairs and cat furniture come in.
While it might not be something you’d consider a necessity, dog stairs really are an invaluable item to have around the house. Toy-sized dogs and other smaller-breeds are all the rage at the moment, but how many of us are tired of having to bend over and pick up our furry friend so that he can sit with us? What about larger or older dogs who sustain severe impact onto the joints by jumping up and down from places such as beds, sofas, chairs, and vehicles? A set of pet steps can greatly reduce the amount of stress your dog’s bones put up with, and they can also be used for cats as well! Don’t overlook the element of convenience that will be added to your everyday life.
In choosing dog stairs, it’s important to look for a design that’s appropriate for your pet. In general, stairs should be around 12 inches wide for breeds weighing less than 20 pounds; 14 inches wide for medium breeds less than 35 pounds; and 16 inches wide for larger breeds that weigh over 35 pounds. Stairs should be between 10 and 14 inches in height to reach most furniture and vehicles, but should be 17 to 29 inches in height to get your dog up to bed level.
Cat furniture is a completely different ball game! Cat’s enjoy climbing, and it is in fact good for them, as cats do not generally fulfill their exercise needs by romping and running around, as dogs do.
You may notice that your cat tends to prefer the counter or other high up places that can be dangerous for them (and unhealthy for us, especially if it is near a food preparation area). The best way to remove your cat from your counters/furniture, yet to keep him happy, is to purchase a piece of cat furniture that will meet his needs. If your little guy prefers high-up places, consider getting him a cat tower with a perch on the top. These come in different heights and can include a swatting ball, scratch post, and cat nip stations to encourage playfulness. They are made of safe, durable materials that will give your cat the traction he needs for climbing and general play.
Fortunately, the market for dog stairs and cat furniture has exploded with dogs and cats in six out of every 10 American households, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association. That means there are plenty of well-made affordable options in dog stairs and cat furniture to make you and your pets happy.
