# **Does your dog need a ramp? Why prevention should start early**

If you have ever wondered, “Does my dog need a ramp?”, the answer may have less to do with your dog’s age and more to do with how often they jump down from cars, beds and couches.
Ramps are often associated with senior dogs or dogs recovering from surgery, but younger and healthy dogs may benefit too. A ramp gives your dog a more controlled way to move between different heights and reduces how often they need to jump.
I learned this through Emmy. After her cruciate injuries and surgeries, I began to understand how much repeated jumping had asked of her body. Building her first ramp was not about selling a product. It was about finding a safer, more comfortable way for her to move.
If you are ready to compare the available options, you can [explore my Dog Mom car, bed and couch ramps](https://dogmom.co.za/dog-ramp-south-africa/). Otherwise, keep reading to learn when a ramp may benefit your dog.

### How Emmy Inspired the First Dog Mom Ramp
In December 2017, my baby girl, Emmy, ruptured her Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL), and everything changed. Before that, both Emmy and Oscar jumped in and out of the car with ease, and I hadn’t even thought about needing a ramp. But, after speaking with Emmy’s surgeon and learning how common injuries like CCL tears, IVDD, and joint issues are in dogs, I realised I needed a long-term solution. At 20 kg, picking Emmy up every time she needed to get in or out of the car wasn’t practical (and she wasn’t fond of being lifted anyway). That’s when I started researching ramps.
A friend loaned me a plastic ramp to try out, but their dogs never used it because they were fearful of it. After trying it with Emmy, I quickly realised it wasn’t the right option. It didn’t have enough grip, and although I wouldn’t call it flimsy, it certainly didn’t feel solid or stable enough for Emmy’s needs. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands.
The first ramp was built from wood and leftover carpeting, and while it worked well, it was heavy, and the carpet became unhygienic after muddy walks. So, I got to work on version 2.0. This time, I slimmed down the sides, reinforced the folding joints with metal to improve strength and stability, and replaced the carpet with rubber for better grip and hygiene. Emmy loved it … and so did I.
Version 1.0 – The high sides made it very wide when folded.Version 1.0 – Heavy, high sides and carpet – but it worked.The sleeker version 2.0 with lower sides and rubber grip.As Emmy began using her ramp regularly, her ramp started getting noticed. Her veterinary physiotherapists and vets saw how well it worked for her, and other dog parents began asking if I could build ramps for their dogs too. In the past two years, I have built more than 100 ramps, each designed to help another much-loved dog move more safely and comfortably.
That demand led me to develop several different ramps for different dogs and different heights. The [Folding Car Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/folding-car-ramp/) suits many lower vehicles, while the longer [XL Folding Dog Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/xl-folding-dog-ramp/) provides a gentler incline for taller SUVs and bakkies. I later developed the [Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/giant-breed-folding-dog-ramp/) for very large and heavy dogs, with a weight rating of up to 100 kg on this model. Custom steel hinges and fittings add strength and stability across the range.
Ramp length and incline are closely connected. A longer ramp creates a gentler angle at the same height, which can make the ramp easier for many dogs to use. Before choosing a vehicle ramp, measure the height at which the ramp will rest and use the [Dog Mom Ramp Angle Calculator](https://dogmom.co.za/ramp-angle-calculator/) to compare the available lengths.
### **Why I Developed Separate Couch and Bed Ramps**
After Emmy’s CCL surgery, it wasn’t just the car that posed a challenge for her, it was also getting up and down from the couch. Like many larger breeds, Emmy loved her couch cuddle time, and I wanted to ensure she could enjoy it without the strain of jumping. Having seen how well the **rubber grip** worked on her car ramp, I knew I needed to use it for indoor ramps too. The rubber gave Emmy better traction and was easier to wipe clean after everyday use. It also did not trap loose hair, dust and mud in the same way that carpet could.
When I looked at the available indoor ramp options, many appeared to have been designed primarily for smaller dogs. I quickly realised there was a gap in the market for parents of **larger breed dogs** who needed a strong, reliable ramp for their pets to join them on the couch or bed.
That’s when I set out to design a **[strong, durable couch ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-couch-ramp/ "Dog Couch Ramp")** that could handle bigger dogs with ease. The first versions I made had **wooden, hand-cut adjustment tracks** for height adjustment, which worked well. But as I continued to refine the design, I wanted to ensure complete peace of mind when it came to supporting larger breeds. So, I upgraded the adjustment tracks to **steel**, making the ramps even stronger and more reliable.
When it came to **[bed ramps](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-bed-ramp/)**, I added a special feature: **removable rails** that can be placed on either side of the ramp, depending on your room’s layout. Both the couch and bed ramps are adjustable to various heights and can fold down to fit under most beds or into a cupboard, offering convenience without compromising on strength or safety. With the same **rubber grip** that Emmy was already comfortable with, these ramps provide the security and hygiene needed for larger dogs, ensuring they can enjoy their cuddle time without the risk of injury from jumping.
> *“Dog Mom is definitely my first call when it comes to recommendations for my clients. As a veterinary physiotherapist, I often deal with patients who range from mild to severe physical compromise, and no matter the degree, we always recommend reducing the stress of jumping on and off high surfaces. Sandra’s attention to detail and understanding of the value of a strong and low-gradient ramp make her ramps superior in the market.”*

### **A Ramp Is Not Only for Older or Injured Dogs**
Ramps aren’t just for senior dogs or those recovering from injuries. They’re an essential tool for all dogs, no matter their age or size. We often don’t think about it when our furry kids are young and spry, but the truth is, even puppies face the impact of jumping down from cars, beds, or couches. It may seem like they take it in stride, but over time, those jumps can take a toll on their joints. The concussive forces that occur when dogs land after a jump put pressure on their legs, hips, and spine, and it all adds up as they age.
Using a ramp reduces how often your dog needs to jump from cars, beds and couches. This can be particularly helpful for puppies, senior dogs, larger breeds, dogs with mobility concerns and dogs recovering from an injury or operation. A ramp cannot guarantee that a dog will never develop a joint or spinal condition, but it can provide a more controlled way for them to move between different heights.
For larger dogs especially, a ramp is a game-changer. Picking up a big dog isn’t always easy (or even possible) and ramps provide a safe and sturdy alternative. That’s why I’ve designed my ramps to be as strong as possible, using custom hinges and durable materials, ensuring that no matter your dog’s size, they’re fully supported with every step. And when it comes to everyday use, having a ramp that’s stable and easy to grip makes all the difference for your dog’s confidence and comfort.

## **How to Choose the Right Ramp for Your Dog**
Choosing the right ramp for your furry kid is about more than just finding something that fits your space, it’s about making sure the ramp is suited to your dog’s specific needs, keeping them safe and comfortable.

#### **1. Consider Your Dog’s Size and Weight**
The size of your dog is one of the most important factors when selecting a ramp. Larger dogs need a ramp that’s strong and durable enough to support their weight without flexing or wobbling. That’s why my lovingly handcrafted ramps are designed with custom hinges and reinforced materials, so even the biggest dogs can move safely and confidently. For smaller dogs, a more lightweight ramp can work just as well, but it’s still essential that it’s stable and easy to grip to avoid slipping. Very large and heavy dogs may need additional length and strength. The [Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/giant-breed-folding-dog-ramp/) is extra long, rated to carry dogs up to 100 kg and designed for breeds such as Boerboels and Great Danes.
> *“As a dog trainer, behaviourist, and owner of a doggy daycare/kennel, I frequently recommend Dog Mom car and couch ramps to my clients with elderly dogs, both big and small. Especially to clients with large and giant breed puppies to avoid any injury to their developing joints and bones. These ramps are so wonderfully crafted with both function and elegance in mind. Sandra’s passion for dogs and their well-being is very evident, especially her attention to detail. Her client service goes above and beyond as well!”*

> Owner of Pet-i-Ket Daycare, Training & Kennels
#### **2. Think About Where You’ll Use It**
Where your dog will use the ramp determines the length and design you need. For a vehicle, measure the height from the ground to the point where the ramp will rest. The Folding Car Ramp suits many lower vehicles, while the longer XL and Giant Breed ramps can provide a gentler incline for taller SUVs and bakkies.
For indoor use, choose between the [Adjustable Bed Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-bed-ramp/) and [Adjustable Couch Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-couch-ramp/) based on the height of the furniture and the space available in the room. Use the Dog Mom[ Ramp Angle Calculator ](https://dogmom.co.za/ramp-angle-calculator/)if you are unsure which ramp length will create the most suitable incline.
#### **3. Look for Stability, Grip, and Style**
Stability and grip are crucial, especially for dogs who might be hesitant to use a ramp. Dog Mom ramps are built with sturdy materials to ensure they stay in place, no matter where you set them up. Plus, I’ve used high-quality rubber traction on the surface to give your dog confidence with every step. And because these ramps may become part of your everyday furniture, I’ve taken extra care in their design … no exposed screws, and meticulous attention to detail to ensure they look good in your home. The dark wood stain finish beautifully complements the black rubber surface, but I can also offer customised colours to match your home’s style.
#### **4. Ease of Use**
Consider how often you will need to move, store or transport the ramp. The vehicle ramps fold and include sturdy handles, while the adjustable indoor ramps can be set to different heights and folded down for storage. Check the product dimensions and weight before ordering, particularly if you will move the ramp frequently.
**Not sure which ramp angle or length will feel easiest for your dog?** The **[Dog Mom Ramp Angle Calculator](https://dogmom.co.za/ramp-angle-calculator/)** helps you compare ramp angles based on your vehicle or furniture height, so you can choose a gentler, joint-friendly option.
### **Choosing the Right Ramp for Your Dog**
Choosing the right ramp isn’t just about convenience. It’s an investment in your dog’s long-term health and mobility. My ramps are lovingly handcrafted with attention to detail, not mass-manufactured, ensuring that each one is built to last, offering strength, safety, and style.
Whether your furry kid is recovering from an injury, dealing with joint pain, or simply needs help with everyday mobility, these ramps provide the support they need while adding an aesthetic touch to your home. By choosing a handcrafted Dog Mom ramp, you’re protecting your dog’s joints and well-being for years to come.

### Frequently Asked Questions About When Dogs Need Ramps
> **1. What’s the ideal incline for a dog ramp?**
> There is no single ideal incline for every dog. A gentler incline is generally easier to navigate, particularly for senior dogs, larger dogs and dogs with mobility concerns. Measure the height of your vehicle or furniture and use the [Dog Mom Ramp Angle Calculator](https://dogmom.co.za/ramp-angle-calculator/) to compare the incline created by different ramp lengths.
>
> **2. How do I train my dog to use a ramp?**
> Training your dog to use a ramp requires patience and positive reinforcement. Start by laying the ramp flat on the ground and use treats or toys to guide your dog across it. Gradually increase the incline as they grow more comfortable. The non-slip rubber surface on my ramps helps dogs feel secure and builds their confidence in using the ramp.
> ➡️ For more details, you can check out my dedicated post on **[Training Your Dog to Use a Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/train_your_dog_to_use_a_ramp/)**.
**3. Are ramps only for older dogs?**
No. Senior and injured dogs may need a ramp more urgently, but puppies, healthy adult dogs and larger breeds can also benefit from avoiding repeated jumps. Introducing a ramp while your dog is still confident and mobile may also make it easier for them to accept later in life.
**4. What signs might mean my dog would benefit from a ramp?**
Your dog may benefit from a ramp if they hesitate before jumping, need several attempts to reach a surface, land heavily, avoid furniture they previously used, struggle with stairs, have reduced mobility or are recovering from an injury or operation. Sudden changes in movement or behaviour should always be discussed with your veterinarian.
**5. Are dog ramps better than dog steps?**
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer – what works best depends on your dog’s needs! Some dogs navigate steps easily, while others (especially seniors, pups with joint issues, or those with mobility concerns) may find a ramp much gentler on their bodies. Ramps provide a **gradual incline**, reducing strain on joints, whereas steps can be more compact and take up less space. If you’re unsure which is the right choice for your furry kid, check out this detailed comparison here: [**Dog Ramps vs. Dog Steps**](https://dogmom.co.za/dog-ramps-vs-dog-steps/)
**6. Should puppies use ramps?**
A ramp can reduce how often a puppy needs to jump from a high car, bed or couch. It can be particularly useful for large and giant breed puppies, whose bodies are still developing. Introduce the ramp gradually using treats, encouragement and short, positive training sessions.
**7. Can a ramp replace veterinary advice?**
No. A ramp is a mobility aid and cannot diagnose, treat or prevent a medical condition. If your dog is limping, showing pain, struggling to move or recovering from surgery, ask your veterinarian or veterinary rehabilitation practitioner how and when the ramp should be introduced.
> *“As a Veterinary Rehabilitation Practitioner, I highly recommend these ramps for any pet with orthopedic or spinal issues. I personally purchased an adjustable bed ramp from Sandra, and it has been a game-changer for my dogs. The ramp’s correct angle reduces concussive forces on joints, especially during downward movement, preventing accidents and minimizing strain. The durable design, combined with excellent traction from the rubber surface, ensures my dogs can move up and down safely without slipping.”*
> **Lorren Barham**
> Owner of Pet Wellness Worx:
### **Final Thoughts**
As someone who’s been through the ups and downs of caring for a dog with joint issues, I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate all the products and advice out there. That’s why I created these ramps; not just as a solution for Emmy, but as a way to help other dog parents who want to give their furry kids the best care possible. Whether your dog is young, old, big, or small, my ramps are designed with love, care, and attention to detail.
If you’re unsure which ramp might be best for your dog, or if you have any questions about helping your dog transition to using a ramp, please feel free to reach out. I’m always here to offer advice and guide you through the process.

I’m a dog mom who’s lived through a lot of this myself with Emmy, Oscar and Levi, and learned the rest from other people’s dogs and from the research I’ve done working out how to build ramps that suit very different situations.

### [National Dog Mom Day: From Fur Babies to Family](https://dogmom.co.za/national-dog-mom-day/)

# National Dog Mom Day: From Fur Babies to Family
**13 May 2023 – National Dog Mom Day – the day we celebrate Dog Moms!**
Ah, the “dog mom”. What a fascinating creature. For those of you who aren’t in the know, a dog mom is an informal and affectionate term for a dog lover that identifies as female and believes that her pets are “fur kids”. Yes, you read that right. She treats her furry friends like actual human children. If you’re sitting there now rolling your eyes, you’re probably not a dog mom.
## What makes a dog mom?
So, what makes dog mom a dog mom. It’s not just about having a dog or two (or even five). It’s about the way she treats her dogs. A dog mom doesn’t just feed her dogs and give them a pat on the head every now and then. Oh no, that would be far too simple. A dog mom takes her job very seriously. She spends countless hours researching the best food, treats, toys, and even clothes for her beloved pets. She takes them on walks, plays with them, cuddles with them, checks their health by monitoring their toilet habits and generally treats them like the royalty they are.
This may sound odd to someone who isn’t a dog mom, but I can bet that all the dog mom’s reading this are nodding with a smile on their face. Dogs are basically tiny furry angels. They love us unconditionally, they never judge us, and they’re always there to make us feel better when we’re feeling down. So, is it really that crazy to want to give them the best life possible? I think not.
## The challenges of being a dog mom
But being a dog mom isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. It also comes with its own unique set of challenges. For example, have you ever tried to take a family photo with a dog? It’s basically impossible. You’ll be lucky if you can get everyone to look in the same general direction, let alone smile at the camera. And don’t even get me started on trying to get a dog to sit still long enough to put on a cute outfit. It’s like trying to wrangle a tiny tornado.
Then there’s the issue of leaving your fur kids home alone. A dog mom will spend hours worrying about whether her dogs are bored, lonely, or just generally sad without her. She’ll leave the TV on for them, give them toys to play with, and maybe even set up a camera (or, in my case, 5) so she can check in on them throughout the day. And if she has to leave them for an extended period of time, the guilt can be overwhelming.
But the challenges are all worth it when you see the love and happiness in your dogs’ eyes. They may not be able to tell you with words, but they show their appreciation in other ways. (You’ve never had another family member THAT excited to see you get home from work)! Whatever it is, it’s enough to make a dog mom’s heart burst with love and pride.
## The dog mom community
And let’s not forget about the community of dog moms. There’s nothing quite like bonding with someone over your shared love of dogs. Whether it’s at the dog park, on social media, or at a local meetup, dog moms have a way of finding each other and forming tight-knit friendships. They’ll swap stories about their dogs, offer advice, and generally support each other in all things dog-related. It’s a pretty amazing support system.
## Celebrating dog moms
Now, you might be wondering if being a dog mom is really all that different from being a regular dog owner. And the answer is yes, it is. Because being a dog mom isn’t just about taking care of your dogs. It’s about loving them like they’re your own children, and treating them with the same level of care and attention. It’s about recognizing that dogs aren’t just pets, but members of the family.
In fact, being a dog mom is so different from being a regular dog owner that it even comes with its own special holiday. That’s right, there’s a day set aside specifically to honor dog moms. It’s called[ National Dog Mom’s Day](https://nationaltoday.com/national-dog-moms-day/#:~:text=U.S.,their%20special%20kind%20of%20motherhood.), and it’s celebrated on the second Saturday in May. It’s a day to recognize all the hard work, love, and dedication that dog moms put into their furry friends.
So, what does a dog mom do on National Dog Mom’s Day? Well, she might take her dogs on a special outing, like a trip to the beach or a hike in the mountains. She might buy them a new toy or treat, or even make them a special homemade meal. But mostly, she just spends the day basking in the love and appreciation of her beloved fur kids.
Now, I know what you might be thinking. “This all sounds a little crazy. Dogs are just animals, after all. They don’t need all this fuss.” But here’s the thing: dogs are more than just animals. They’re companions, friends, and yes, even family members. And for those of us who identify as dog moms, that means treating them with the same level of love and care that we would give to any other family member.
So, the next time you see a woman walking down the street with her dogs in tow, don’t roll your eyes or scoff at her. Instead, recognize the love and dedication that she’s putting into caring for her furry friends. She might be a little crazy, sure, but she’s also a whole lot of awesome.
In conclusion, being a dog mom is about more than just owning a dog. It’s about loving and caring for your pets like they’re members of the family. It comes with its own unique set of challenges, but the love and appreciation you get in return is more than worth it. So, to all the dog moms out there, keep on loving your fur kids and being the awesome, dedicated, and slightly crazy people that you are. We salute you!

**Excerpt:** ...the thought of parting with the pups seemed more and more impossible. The temporary fostering arrangement began to feel like something far more permanent...

# Living with Levi: The Beginning
## How Levi Entered My Life: The Unexpected Joy of Fostering
As a proud Dog Mom to three incredible rescue dogs over the past 14 years, my heart has always been tethered to the selfless souls who dedicate their lives to animal rescue. Among the many heroes I’ve encountered, one name stands out like a beacon: Kerry Kleinhans from The WOW Project. Our paths crossed during a routine vet visit with my eldest fur-baby, Emmy. From our very first conversation, it was evident that Kerry’s passion for animals wasn’t just a hobby—it was her life’s mission.
Kerry with one of her outreach pupsAnother litter of pups saved by Kerry and The WOW ProjectLevi giving Kerry some love!Over time, our bond strengthened. I found myself eagerly volunteering for The WOW Project, printing t-shirts for its dedicated volunteers, assisting during adoption days where I could, and crafting marketing materials to amplify Kerry’s message. Little did I know that one fateful phone call would change the trajectory of my life.
On a seemingly ordinary day, Kerry shared a heart-wrenching tale of a pitty-cross dog, exploited for breeding and left with a litter of 15 vulnerable pups. By Valentine’s Day, a day meant for love and celebration, 10 of these innocent souls had tragically passed away. The mother, overwhelmed and undernourished, couldn’t care for her remaining babies. Kerry, with her boundless compassion, stepped in to rescue the survivors. Yet, nature’s cruelty didn’t end there. Three more pups succumbed, leaving only two fragile lives hanging in the balance.
During a candid chat with Kerry, I sensed the weight of her responsibilities. Juggling the demands of rescue work in Wolwerivier and Atlantis, coupled with the intensive care of bottle-feeding the pups every two hours, seemed insurmountable. In a moment of serendipity, or perhaps fate, I found myself offering to care for the pups for a day. I mean, how challenging could it be? Feed, comfort, repeat.
When Kerry arrived with the two boys, nestled in their yellow carrier with their tiny bottles and soft towels, my heart melted. Their vulnerability was palpable, their need for love and care undeniable. That day, I learned the intricacies of puppy care, from feeding to the delicate art of assisting with their toileting. It was a day of firsts, of challenges, and of undeniable joy.
As the sun set, a weary Kerry called, her voice heavy with fatigue. She had rescued three more pups, each battling illness and desperately needing care. Concerned for the health of my two little charges and recognizing Kerry’s overwhelming situation, I made a spontaneous decision. “Let them stay overnight,” I said, “We’ll figure it out in the morning.”
But as dawn broke, it became clear that this wasn’t a mere overnight stay. The weekend stretched ahead, filled with feeding schedules, soft whimpers, and countless moments of pure love. And as each day passed, the thought of parting with these pups seemed more and more impossible. The temporary fostering arrangement began to feel like something far more permanent…
As the days passed, the two pups began to show their distinct personalities. The darker one, with his deep, soulful eyes, I named Diesel. His counterpart, with three white-tipped toe paws that stood out against his lighter fur, became Levi. These names seemed to capture their essence perfectly. From the moment they arrived on the 11th day of their young lives, our bond grew stronger with each passing moment.
The initial days were filled with hope and optimism. I was getting into the rhythm of caring for them, and each feeding session was a testament to their growing strength. Their tiny bodies began to fill out, and the scales showed a steady increase in their weight. It felt like we were on the right track.
Then, on the 1st of March, a milestone moment arrived. Little Diesel, with all the curiosity of a newborn, opened his eyes for the very first time. It was a magical moment, one that we celebrated with joy and anticipation of all the adventures that lay ahead. But life, with its unpredictable twists, had other plans.
The very next day, as I reached into their crate for their afternoon feeding, a sense of dread washed over me. Lifting Diesel, his body felt different—lifeless and limp. Panic set in, and I rushed both pups to the vet, praying for a miracle. Tests were run, and while they came back negative for Parvo and Giardia, it was clear that both pups were in distress. They were administered fluids, and I was given the heart-wrenching task of monitoring them closely, urging them to feed.
That evening, under the shadow of load shedding, the situation became dire. Neither Diesel nor Levi showed any interest in their bottles. The light in Diesel’s eyes had dimmed, and every instinct told me he was suffering. At Panorama vet, our worst fears were confirmed. Diesel was in pain, and the prognosis was grim. Levi, though weak, wasn’t in distress, but he needed constant care and encouragement.
The decision to let Diesel go was one of the hardest I’ve ever made. Saying goodbye to that little soul, who had brought so much joy in such a short time, was heart-wrenching. But in that moment of profound sadness, Levi still needed me. He was fighting, and I had to be there for him.
The night that followed was one of the longest of my life. Hour after hour, I offered Levi his bottle, hoping against hope that he would show some sign of recovery. Each rejection was a blow, and with every passing hour, my heart grew heavier.
Then, as dawn broke, a miracle. With bloodshot eyes, I held out the bottle for Levi’s 5 am feed. To my astonishment and overwhelming relief, he latched on. His tiny paws wrapped around my arm, pulling the bottle closer, as if to say, “I’m still here, and I’m not giving up.” In that moment, amidst the pain of loss and the exhaustion of the night, joy blossomed. My little Levi was back, and our journey together was just beginning.

# Living with Levi: From Foster to Forever
## The moment I knew Levi was here to stay
The void left by Diesel’s departure was immense, a constant reminder of the fragility of life. Yet, in the midst of this heartache, Levi’s tenacity became my beacon of hope. As a seasoned Dog Mom, my protective instincts were already on high alert, but with Levi, they reached new heights. Every whimper, every movement was under my watchful eye. I even set up a webcam, ensuring I could monitor him around the clock, no matter where I was.
The vet’s cautionary words about Fading Puppy Syndrome echoed in my mind. While Levi was showing signs of improvement, the uncertainty of his future was a constant shadow. But with each sunrise, Levi defied the odds. His resilience was nothing short of miraculous. Just a day after we bid farewell to Diesel, Levi gifted me with another milestone—his eyes fluttered open, revealing a world of curiosity and wonder.
The ensuing days were a whirlwind of emotions. With Diesel’s absence still fresh, witnessing Levi’s burgeoning personality was both a salve and a reminder of what was lost. His playful growls, his insatiable curiosity, and the adorable white fur sprouting on his pink toes painted the picture of a pup who was not just surviving, but thriving. Gone were the days when he was content in his crate; Levi wanted to be in the thick of things, experiencing life to the fullest.
However, life has a way of testing our strength when we least expect it. Just a week after Diesel’s passing, I was jolted awake by a distressing sound. Racing to Levi’s side, my heart sank. There he was, his little face smeared with white vomit, his eyes reflecting vulnerability. The memories of Diesel’s final moments came flooding back, and I was consumed by panic. Another emergency trip to the vet, another agonizing wait. But this time, the news was different. After a thorough examination and a much-needed anti-nausea injection, the diagnosis was clear: a simple case of reflux. My little fighter was still in the ring, proving once again that he was here to stay.
Every day with Levi was a new chapter in our growing bond. The little guy had a knack for making his presence felt, especially during my online meetings. His persistent cries from the crate were impossible to ignore, and I’d often find myself scooping him up for some much-needed cuddles. His peculiar habit of suckling on my earlobes was both endearing and comical. But one afternoon, he took it a step further, latching onto my chin with a suction force that would put any vacuum to shame. The resulting bruise became a topic of conversation for days.
March 8th marked another significant milestone in Levi’s life: his introduction to solid food. The excitement in his eyes as he tasted the new delicacy was palpable. He was growing, and with each passing day, his personality shone brighter. The duvet on the lounge floor became his playground, and the playpen I set up became a challenge he was determined to overcome. His toys, especially the little dalmatian fluffy toy and the jingly cat ball, became his treasured companions.
In addition to Dog Mom, my side-hustle, Boometime, involves crafting doggie ramps. Witnessing Levi, at just four weeks old, navigate the couch ramp for the first time was a sight to behold. However, this newfound skill came with its challenges, as his adventurous spirit often led him to places he shouldn’t be.
Levi’s curiosity knew no bounds. Whether it was hitching a ride on the robot vacuum or chasing a tennis ball around the house, his zest for life was infectious. But it was on March 31st, during a routine vet visit, that reality truly set in. As the vet penned down “Levi Boome” on the front of his booklet, a wave of emotion washed over me. While everyone around me had seen it coming, it took me a while to admit to myself that Levi wasn’t just a temporary guest. He was family.
In the eyes of many, I might have been a “foster fail,” but in my heart, I knew it was the most beautiful failure I’d ever experienced. Our adventures were just beginning, and I couldn’t wait to see where life with Levi would take us.

### [Pink October - in memory of Oscar](https://dogmom.co.za/pink-october-in-memory-of-oscar/)
**Published:** November 7, 2025
**Author:** Sandra - Dog Mom
**Excerpt:** Oscar’s memory lives on through love, loss and giving back. This Pink October, Dog Mom® supported The WOW Project to help rescue dogs and honour lives touched by cancer.
**Content:**
# Pink October – In Memory of Oscar
## Because every act of love can change a life
Oscar made me a Dog Mom long before Dog Mom® was ever a brand. I adopted him when he was just five months old, and for the next eight years he filled my life with more love and laughter than I ever thought possible. He was my shadow, my best friend, and the reason I first understood what it truly meant to be a dog parent.
### The Hardest Goodbye
In October 2019, my world changed forever. Oscar was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma affecting his liver and spleen, known as hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, a cancer that arises from large granular lymphocytes. I had to make the hardest decision of my life. Watching him lose his spark was heartbreaking. The boy who once greeted every visitor as if they had come just to see him started to fade before my eyes. Letting him go was the most painful act of love I have ever had to give.
Emmy and I missed him terribly. She and Oscar had always been close; his playful energy balanced her quiet, gentle nature. Emmy has always preferred her own space when people visit, while Oscar believed every guest was there purely for him. Losing him brought us even closer, two hearts healing together in a quieter house that suddenly felt far too still.
### Healing and New Beginnings
Fast forward to Levi’s arrival, the whirlwind who changed everything again. He was just 11 days old and needed bottle feeding around the clock. You can read more about how he came into our lives [here](https://dogmom.co.za/living-with-levi-the-beginning/ "Living with Levi") and [here](https://dogmom.co.za/from-foster-to-forever/). Kerry from [The WOW Project](https://dogmom.co.za/causes/ "The WOW Project") knew exactly what she was doing. She asked me to keep him for a few days, just until they found him a home; but of course, she knew that a few days would be all it took for him to steal my heart. And she was right. He never left.
The WOW Project has continued to inspire me ever since. Kerry and her growing team do incredible work, from township outreach and sterilisation drives to rescuing, fostering and finding loving homes for dogs and cats who might otherwise never have had a chance. Their motto says it all: *Making a Difference. One animal at a time.*
### Honouring Oscar Through Pink October
When October came around this year, it felt only fitting to honour both causes close to my heart: Breast Cancer Awareness and the countless dogs who lose their lives to cancer every year. Pink October became our way to celebrate Oscar’s memory while supporting The WOW Project and the amazing people who give animals a second chance at life.
During the campaign, R25 from every Pink T-shirt, Hoodie and Cap sold, along with every item from our [Rescue Range](https://dogmom.co.za/product-tag/rescue/ "Dog Mom Rescue Range"), was donated to The WOW Project. Thanks to the incredible support from our loyal customers and so many new faces, we raised **R1450**. Every purchase, every share and every word of encouragement made a difference.
To everyone who supported this campaign, thank you. Your kindness helped honour Oscar’s memory in the most meaningful way possible and continues to support the incredible rescue work that changes lives every day.
Oscar taught me what unconditional love looks like. Emmy reminded me how to heal. And Levi brought Oscar’s spirit and joy back into our home. Together, they remind me why Dog Mom® exists: to celebrate love, loss, second chances and the beautiful bond we share with our furry kids.

### [Pet Insurance in South Africa - How to avoid heartbreak](https://dogmom.co.za/pet-insurance-in-south-africa-how-to-avoid-heartbreak/)
**Published:** March 21, 2024
**Author:** Sandra - Dog Mom
**Excerpt:** While my pet insurance covered the unexpected emergency visit, sparing me the financial headache, it certainly didn't save me from the embarrassment
**Content:**
## Pet Insurance? Who Knew?
In my opinion, Pet Insurance in South Africa is not a nice-to-have – it is a crucial part of pet ownership and has made a difference in so many people’s and animals’ lives. We never want to think about our dogs falling ill or being hurt and, in many dogs’ lives, there may be no vet bills other than the annual vaccinations and routine check-ups to cover. Yet, for many dog moms and dads there lurks a seldom-discussed concern: the unexpected turns-of-health and accidents. Enter the realm of pet insurance, a safety net that remains enigmatic to many. I don’t know why I’m so often surprised when someone tells me they didn’t even know there was such a thing as pet insurance. It shouldn’t surprise me, since I had no idea this was an option until a friend advised me to look into it when I adopted my first dog, Oscar back in 2011. In this blog post, I hope to unravel the mystery, guiding you through the ins and outs of securing your pet’s health and ensuring that you can avoid sleepless nights of financial worries and unexpected vet bills.
## Understanding Pet Insurance – The Basics
### The What and Why of Pet Insurance
Just like all insurances, pet insurance is often seen as a grudge buy. You may NEVER need it…but what if you DO? Just as you pack essentials and emergency supplies when going camping, pet insurance equips you with the necessary tools to tackle unexpected health issues your dog might face. But what exactly is pet insurance? At its core, pet insurance is a policy that pet owners purchase to mitigate the costs of veterinary care, offering peace of mind in knowing that your dog’s health emergencies won’t lead to financial distress.
### Components of a Typical Pet Insurance Plan
**Coverage Scope:** From accidents and illnesses to routine check-ups and vaccinations, understanding the coverage scope is crucial. Picture the coverage as a safety net; the broader it is, the softer your landing in times of need.
**Premiums and Deductibles:** Navigating through premiums and deductibles can feel like decoding a complex trail map. Premiums are your monthly payments, while deductibles are what you pay out-of-pocket before the insurance kicks in. Balancing the two is key to finding a plan that fits your budget without compromising on coverage.
**Exclusions and Limits:** Just as a leash keeps your dog safe during walks, knowing your plan’s exclusions and limits helps prevent surprises. Pre-existing conditions and breed-specific ailments often fall into this category, so it’s important to read the fine print.
## Real-Life Scenarios
Whenever I’m chatting to a new dog mom or dad and they ask advice, the first thing I tell them to buy (besides the standard bowls, beds and food, of course) is pet insurance. And I do this because I’ve experienced the nightmare of my dogs needing surgeries, x-rays, blood tests and more over the years, and the LAST thing you want to worry about is how you’re going to afford to pay for a life-saving surgery or specialist care when you should only be concerned with keeping your baby safe and comfortable. Let me tell about a few such moments in my life.
### Emmy and Her CCLs
Emmy, my beautiful Africanis girl, has had to have Cruciate Ligament surgery not once, but twice. In December 2017, at the age of five, Emmy was jumping up into the car when she accidentally knocked her knee against the bumper. Although she didn’t yelp or show immediate discomfort, by the time we arrived home, it was clear something was wrong. Emmy refused to bear weight on her back left leg. A visit to Panorama Vet confirmed my fears: she had ruptured her Cruciate Ligament, necessitating surgery that would cost around R35,000, followed by months of rehabilitation. Thanks to our coverage through MediPet, what could have been a staggering financial ordeal was significantly mitigated. Fast forward to July 2021, history repeated itself with her other cruciate ligament, leading to another R35,000 surgery. Without pet insurance, I would have faced not just emotional stress but a financial crisis.
### Levi’s Laundry Basket Escapade
This one was a banger! One evening Levi, at just 5 months old, managed to get hold of a pair of my panties from the laundry basket. In the ensuing chaos, as I tried to retrieve them (admittedly in a bit of hysterics), Levi **swallowed them whole**, leading to an emergency trip to Panorama Veterinary Hospital. Because I acted immediately, there was, thankfully, no need for any surgery and the vet was able to to induce vomiting before the panties could cause any internal blockage. While my pet insurance covered the unexpected emergency visit, sparing me the financial headache, it certainly didn’t save me from the embarrassment of explaining the situation to a bemused receptionist or watching my boy vomit up my undies in front of the vet.
And yes, I also have a good laugh now when I think back to Levi’s laundry basket escapade but, in the moment, when I was panicking about potential internal blockages and surgeries, the last thing on my mind was how I was going to pay for the visit because I had peace of mind with the financial side of things. I was solely concerned about ensuring that my baby boy was going to be ok.
## Choosing the Right Pet Insurance Plan
### Evaluating Coverage Options
Selecting the right pet insurance plan is not much different to choosing household insurance. Key factors to consider include:
**Comprehensive vs. Accident-Only Plans:** Consider whether your pet needs comprehensive coverage (including illnesses, routine care, and emergencies) or if an accident-only plan suffices. Reflect on your dog’s lifestyle and health to make an informed decision. If you can afford to, I would always recommend a comprehensive plan for peace-of-mind.
**Breed-Specific Considerations**: Some breeds are prone to specific health issues. As an example, Dacschunds often suffer from Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), Labradors from hip dysplasia and Bulldogs from Brachycephalic Syndrome, and skin allergies. Researching and choosing a plan that covers breed-specific conditions can prevent future heartache and financial stress.
### Understanding the Fine Print
Navigating the terms and conditions of pet insurance policies (or, indeed ANY insurance policy) can feel like deciphering ancient runes. Pay close attention to:
**Waiting Periods:** Pet insurance policies often have waiting periods before coverage begins. Knowing these can help manage your expectations and planning. This is another reason I advise getting insurance bedded down as soon as possible into your new pet parent journey.
**Lifetime vs. Annual Limits:** Assess whether the policy offers lifetime coverage limits or if they reset annually. This distinction can significantly impact long-term financial planning for your pet’s health.
## The True Cost of Pet Ownership
### Budgeting for the Unexpected
Being a pet parent comes with its set of financial responsibilities, much like parenthood in general. Beyond the initial costs, pet owners should budget for:
**Routine Care:** Vaccinations, check-ups, and preventative measures to keep your pet healthy. Think dental care – most dogs will require dental cleaning at some stage of their lives and this means an anaesthetised procedure, which can be pretty costly.
**Physical Rehabilitation**: Many people are unaware of the amazing [Veterinary Physiotherapists in South Africa](https://dogmom.co.za/veterinary-physiotherapy-for-dogs/) and the difference they are making to our animals’ lives on a daily basis. Emmy has required much physiotherapy and rehab since undergoing her operations and since developing osteoarthritis. Pet Insurance can also offer coverage options for the rehabilitation of your fur-kid post-surgery.
**Emergency Fund:** Establishing an emergency fund for unforeseen medical issues is like having a reserve of water during droughts. It ensures that you’re prepared for any situation.
### How Pet Insurance Fits Into Your Budget
Pet insurance should be viewed as part of your monthly budget. By investing in pet insurance, you’re essentially ensuring peace of mind and financial stability in the face of potential veterinary emergencies.
## The Peace of Mind Worth Investing In
One cannot underestimate the financial burden that is eased when you have invested in pet insurance for your pet. The last thing you want to be worrying about in an emergency situation is how you’re going to pay for it. The path to responsible pet ownership is paved with informed decisions and proactive planning. Just as Emmy and Levi’s stories illustrate, pet insurance isn’t merely a financial tool; it’s a reflection of our love and commitment to our furry family members. By choosing the right plan, understanding the fine print, and integrating the cost into our budget, we can enjoy the company of our pets without the looming fear of unexpected medical expenses.
## So, Where Do You Start?
The pet insurance industry in South Africa has grown substantially since my first policy with OnePet back in 2011 and there are a number of reputable Pet Insurance companies in South Africa today. And, each pet is unique in their requirements. Oscar was insured through OnePet until he passed from Cancer in 2019. The others are on MediPet and I have nothing but amazing things to say about the MediPet team. But do your own research and find the insurer that meets your requirements and can put your mind at ease. Here’s a list of what I believe to be the Top 5 Pet Insurance companies in South Africa in 2024:

MediPet is renowned for its comprehensive coverage options, catering specifically to dogs and cats. It offers peace of mind through its straightforward and transparent policies, covering everything from routine care to emergency treatments.

With the unique feature of pre-funding vet visits, OnePlan ensures that pet owners have immediate access to funds for veterinary care, making the health management of pets both easier and more affordable.

Dotsure tailors its insurance options to fit a variety of needs and budgets, offering multiple levels of coverage that include accident-only and comprehensive plans. They pride themselves on their hassle-free online sign-up process and customizable plans, ensuring that pets get the protection they need without unnecessary extras.

Partnered with one of South Africa’s largest insurers, Hollard Pet Insurance offers a variety of plans designed to protect pets at every stage of their life. Their comprehensive coverage includes benefits for vet visits, chronic conditions, and hereditary diseases, emphasizing preventative care to ensure pets live long, healthy lives.
Each of these companies brings something unique to the table, from innovative payment solutions to extensive coverage options, ensuring that South African pet owners can find the right insurance fit for their beloved pets’ needs. So, if you haven’t considered Pet Insurance yet, I hope I’ve given you some insights that will help you secure the future of your beloved animals and spare you the financial costs of emergency vet visits and surgeries.

# DOG POO – This is An Incredibly 💩 Blog Post!
What to look out for in your dog’s poo.## Watson, Bring the Poo Samples!
Since the vet once told me many years ago about how important it is to monitor my dogs’ poo, I’ve become a veritable Sherlock Holmes…ask any of my friends…they think it’s weird how much attention I pay to poo (my dogs’ poo, that is!) I sometimes have to consciously check my phone gallery before I scroll through pictures to show someone, in case a poo pic comes up and I have to awkwardly explain it. LOL I now have an album called “Dog Poo”, to avoid embarrassment (this does also mean I need to remember to MOVE the pics from the main gallery.)
But, on a more serious note, decoding your dogs poo is a must-do for pet pawrents. This can provide valuable insights into their health – your doggo’s poo can tell you more than you might think. I have often sent through pics of my dogs’ poo to the vet to see if there’s cause for concern.
### Why Monitor Your Dog’s Poo?
First off, why should we care about our dog’s poo? Well, what comes out the back end can reveal a lot about what’s happening inside. By keeping an eye on your dog’s bowel movements, you can catch early signs of dietary issues, infections, or other health problems. Think of it as a routine check-up you can do at home.
Ever wondered if your dog’s poo is normal? If you’ve never given it much thought, you’re not alone. But trust me, a little attention to this matter can go a long way in ensuring your dog’s overall well-being. Just ask any vet, and they’ll tell you that prevention is always better than cure.
Your Dog’s Poo can tell you a lot about their health.### What to Look for in Your Dog’s Poo
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. And, no, I’m not saying you need to do an in-depth analysis each time your doggie toilets, but when you’re on poo patrol each day, there are a few key characteristics to watch for:
**Colour**: The ideal colour for your dog’s poo is a rich, chocolate brown. Any significant changes in colour can be a sign of trouble. For example, black or tarry stools can indicate bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, whilst red streaks might point to bleeding in the lower part. (Emmy had a bad intestinal infection a number of months ago and I knew something was wrong the moment I saw her black stool – a visit to the vet and a course of antibiotics sorted it out but if I didn’t immediately recognise that there was a problem, it could have been a lot worse.)
**Consistency**: Healthy poo should be firm but not too hard. It should hold its shape but be easy to pick up. Runny poo can indicate dietary issues or infections, while overly hard poo might be a sign of constipation.
**Frequency**: How often your dog goes can vary based on their diet and activity level, but a general rule of thumb is one to two times a day. Sudden changes in frequency, whether more often or less, can be a sign of underlying health issues.
Is your dog’s poo the right colour and consistency? How often should you be concerned about changes? If you notice anything unusual, it’s always a good idea to consult your vet.
It’s Important to monitor the colour and consistency of your dog’s poo!### Was that Cat Poop?
Have you ever been out on a walk with your dog and they stop to sniff, give a little dig with a paw and, the next thing you know, they’ve just made a little snack out of some cat poop!? It’s important, especially when you’re out walking, to watch your dog and make sure he or she doesn’t find something eeuw to snack on, because that could be dangerous. Dog’s are strangely attracted to cat poo (usually because of its high protein content), but this can be a health risk due to cat feces often containing harmful pathogens like E.coli. If you’ve noticed your dog chomp on something whilst out on a walk, keep an eye on them for a day or two, and if you notice diarrhoea , lethargy, changes in appetite , take them to the vet immediately. (Of course, as South Africans, the other all-too-common danger when out on walks is, unfortunately, human poo.)
**TOP TIP**: One of the handiest commands I’ve taught Levi is “drop it!” Of course, “Leave it!” would be even better in most circumstances but, we all know how quickly dogs get something in their mouths. Having a dog with a good “Drop it!” understanding helps a lot when you’re out on a walk and they decide to have a smelly snack.
### Common Poo Problems and What They Mean
So, what are some common poo problems, and what do they mean?
****Diarrhoea****: This can be caused by anything from dietary indiscretion (like sneaking a bit of your supper) to more serious issues like infections or parasites (refer back to the cat poop). If your dog has diarrhoea for more than a day or two, it’s time to see the vet.
**Constipation**: On the flip side, if your dog is straining to go or producing hard, dry stools, they might be constipated. This can be due to a lack of fiber, not enough water, or even something more serious like an obstruction.
**Unusual Substances**: Finding mucus, blood, or parasites in your dog’s poo is definitely cause for concern. These can indicate anything from inflammation to infections, and you should seek veterinary advice immediately.
Have you ever noticed unusual changes in your dog’s poo? When should you take your dog to the vet? If in doubt, it’s always better to err on the side of caution.
### Maintaining Healthy Poo: Diet and Lifestyle Tips
So, how can you keep your dog’s digestive system in top shape?
**Diet**: A balanced diet rich in fiber and hydration is key. Make sure your dog is getting high-quality food that meets their nutritional needs. Sometimes, simple dietary adjustments can make a big difference.
**Exercise**: Regular physical activity helps keep things moving smoothly. Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise to help maintain a healthy digestive system.
**Vigilance**: Do regular checks around your home and garden to make sure there isn’t anything harmful your dog could decide to snack on (dead birds are a common thing to look out for in the Spring and Summer months in South Africa (September to March) as this is prime breeding season for birds and it’s not uncommon for a baby bird to fall out of its nest and start decaying in the garden. Also, watch your dogs carefully when out on walks.
**Regular Check-Ups**: Routine visits to the vet can catch potential problems early. Even if everything seems fine, regular check-ups are essential for your dog’s health.
Be Vigilant and regularly check your dog’s poo.Regular exercise is a valuable part of keeping your dog healthy.What are you feeding your dog and how does it affect their poo? How often does your dog exercise? These factors play a crucial role in maintaining healthy poo.
### Conclusion
To sum it all up, monitoring your dog’s poo is an easy and effective way to keep an eye on their health. By understanding what to look for, you can catch potential problems early and keep your fur-kid happy and healthy. If ever you’re not sure if your dog’s poo is a concern, call your vet a.s.a.p and, if necessary, send them a pic – they’ll quickly let you know what to look out for and whether or not a vet visit is required. And, next time you’re on poo patrol, remember these 💩 tips!
I know I can’t be the only one this attentive to my dogs’ 💩. Let’s hear YOUR poo stories (tasteful ones, of course LOL). Share in the comments so I don’t feel alone in this.

# How to Train your Dog to use a Ramp – A Simple Guide!
Learn how to Train your Dog to use a RampSo, you’ve invested in a Dog Mom Handcrafted Signature Dog Ramp—great choice! But what if your dog looks at it like it’s an alien spaceship? Don’t worry, that’s totally normal. Dogs love routine, and anything new can seem a little suspicious. The good news is, with a bit of patience and positive reinforcement, your dog will be confidently strutting up and down their ramp in no time. Let’s train your dog to use a ramp:
#### Why Some Dogs Hesitate
Dogs are creatures of habit. New surfaces, movements, or even sounds can trigger hesitation. Your ramp is sturdy, non-slip, and designed for safety, but your dog doesn’t know that yet. They need time to build trust in this new addition to their world.
#### How to Train Your Dog to Use a Ramp (Step-by-Step Guide)
**1. Set the Scene:**
Start by placing the ramp flat on the ground. This removes the incline, making it less intimidating. Let your dog sniff, explore, and get used to it without any pressure. Toss a few of their favourite treats on the ramp to create positive associations.
**2. The First Walk:**
Using treats or a beloved toy, lure your dog to step onto the ramp. Reward them for any interaction—even just placing a paw on it. Gradually encourage them to walk across. Keep sessions short, fun, and stress-free.
**3. Introduce the Incline:**
Once your dog is confidently walking on the flat ramp, add a gentle incline. Start with a low angle and slowly increase it over time. Use the same luring and rewarding technique, praising every bit of progress.
**4. Practice Makes Perfect:**
Consistency is key. Practice in short, frequent sessions rather than long, exhausting ones. If your dog shows hesitation, don’t force them. Go back a step and rebuild their confidence.
**5. Adding Real-Life Scenarios:**
When your dog is comfortable, move the ramp to its actual spot—the car, couch, or bed. Keep the rewards coming until using the ramp becomes second nature.
Train your Dog to use a Ramp
#### Tips for Success
- **Positive Reinforcement:** Always reward with treats, praise, or play. Make it a fun experience.
- **Patience:** Some dogs take longer to adjust. Celebrate small victories.
- **No Pressure:** Never force your dog onto the ramp. This can create fear instead of trust.
- **Lead by Example:** If you have another dog who uses the ramp, let them demonstrate. Dogs learn from watching others.
#### Troubleshooting Common Issues
- **My dog refuses to step on the ramp:** Go back to the basics. Place it flat, sprinkle treats, and let them investigate at their own pace.
- **My dog slips or looks unsure:** Double-check the ramp is stable and the non-slip surface is clean and dry.
- **My dog runs and jumps instead:** Keep them on a lead during training to guide them gently. Reward calm, controlled movements.
#### Why It’s Worth the Effort
Training your dog to use a ramp isn’t just about convenience—it’s about protecting their joints and preventing injuries. The more natural it feels for them, the more they’ll rely on it, reducing the concussive forces from jumping down that can lead to long-term issues.
Ready to make life easier for you and your dog? Take it one step at a time (literally), and soon enough, your dog will be a ramp pro!

# Dog Ramps vs Dog Steps – Which is the better option for YOUR dog?
Dog Ramps vs Dog Steps – Which is the better option for your Dog?As a devoted dog mom or dog dad, ensuring our fur babies’ comfort and safety is always a top priority. When it comes to helping them access higher places like beds, couches, or cars, the decision between dog ramps and dog steps can be a bit perplexing. While both options serve the same purpose, **the impact on your dog’s joints** is one of the most important factors to consider. Let’s look at the benefits of each to help you make an informed choice for your beloved fur-kid! Let’s see Dog Ramps vs Dog Steps!
---
### **Benefits of Dog Ramps**
- **Joint-Friendly Access**
Dog ramps provide a **gentler incline**, reducing the impact on your dog’s joints and muscles. This is especially beneficial for senior dogs, puppies, and breeds prone to joint issues like Dachshunds, Labradors, and German Shepherds. Unlike steps, where each climb up and jump down adds stress, ramps allow for **smooth movement without concussive forces**.
- **Versatility**
Ramps can be used for a variety of purposes—helping your dog get onto a couch, into a car, or even onto a grooming table. They work well for both **small and large dogs**, particularly those with arthritis or mobility challenges.
- **Ease of Use**
Many dogs find ramps **easier to navigate** because they don’t require climbing and jumping. If your dog struggles with stairs in general, a ramp will feel much more natural and comfortable for them.

### **Advantages of Dog Steps**
- **Space-Saving Design**
Dog steps tend to be more compact, making them a better option for **small rooms or tight spaces** where a ramp may be too long.
- **Affordability**
Generally, steps are **more budget-friendly** compared to ramps, especially for smaller dogs who don’t require heavy-duty materials.
- **Familiarity**
If your dog is used to climbing stairs in your home, they might take to steps naturally. However, even dogs accustomed to stairs can **still experience long-term joint strain**, especially when repeatedly jumping down from steps.
For some dogs, steps may be the solution.
For larger dogs, a small dog step may help for couches
---
### **The Hidden Impact of Steps on Joints**
One thing many dog parents don’t realize is that steps can contribute to **long-term joint deterioration**—particularly **when descending**.
- **Jumping Down Adds Repetitive Impact**
Every time a dog **jumps down** from a step, it sends a **shockwave of force through their joints**. This repetitive concussive force can contribute to arthritis, hip dysplasia, and ligament injuries over time.
- **Short-Legged and Heavy Dogs Are at Higher Risk**
Breeds like Dachshunds, Basset Hounds, and Bulldogs, which have long bodies and short legs, are especially prone to **intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)**. Steps can increase their risk of spinal injuries due to the repeated impact of jumping down.
- **Senior Dogs & Puppies Need More Support**
Older dogs with joint pain **should avoid steps altogether**. Puppies, whose bones are still developing, can also **benefit from ramps early on** to prevent damage that accumulates over time.
If your dog **already has joint issues or is prone to them**, a ramp is almost always the **better long-term solution** to **minimize wear and tear** on their bodies.
---
### **Factors to Consider When Choosing** Dog Ramps vs Dog Steps
- **Your Dog’s Health**
If your dog has arthritis, hip dysplasia, or other joint issues, a ramp is the **best choice** to prevent additional pain and strain.
- **Available Space**
Ramps require **more floor space** due to their length, while steps are compact. If space is limited, consider **a folding ramp** that can be stored when not in use.
- **Training and Adaptability**
Some dogs may need **training** to get comfortable using a ramp or steps. Positive reinforcement and treats can help ease the transition.
---
### **Conclusion: Why Ramps Are the Safer Choice**
Ultimately, the choice between a dog ramp and dog steps depends on your dog’s specific needs and your living environment. However, if **joint health and injury prevention** are priorities, a ramp is almost always the **better choice**.
That said, the **best thing for your dog’s long-term health may not be ramps or steps at all**—but rather **keeping them off high surfaces altogether**. As dog parents, we often love having our furry companions snuggled up next to us on the couch or bed, but sometimes, **what we want isn’t always what’s best for them**. Some pets happily use a ramp or steps to climb **onto** the couch or bed, but the moment they hear the doorbell, all caution flies out the window! Instead of taking the safe route down, they instinctively **leap off the high surface**—completely forgetting the ramp or steps exist. This constant jumping down can still put stress on their joints over time.
If you want to **prioritize their joint health**, consider setting up **a comfortable, orthopedic dog bed** on the floor near your favourite sitting area. This way, your pup can still be close to you **without risking injuries from climbing or jumping**. You can even make it a special bonding time by sitting with them on the floor for cuddles, playtime, or quiet relaxation.

Every dog is unique, but **choosing a ramp over steps can protect your dog from unnecessary pain and injuries down the road**. It’s one of the simplest ways to **show them love and care for their long-term health**. 💕

### [Why Big Dogs Need Ramps Just as Much as Small Dogs](https://dogmom.co.za/why-big-dogs-need-ramps-just-as-much-as-small-dogs/)
**Published:** November 24, 2025
**Author:** Sandra - Dog Mom
**Excerpt:** Big dogs need dog ramps more than most people realise. Because of their weight and height, every jump increases the load on their joints — especially the front legs and spine. A high-traction, sturdy ramp helps prevent injuries and keeps your large dog safer throughout their life.
**Content:**
# **Why Big Dogs Need Ramps Just as Much as Small Dogs**
## Why Big Dogs Need Ramps
(Beyond Just Joint Issues)
**If you’ve ever wondered why big dogs need ramps, the answer is simple – large breeds face even greater joint stress from daily jumping.**
**Big dogs need ramps just as much as smaller dogs – and in many cases, they benefit even more.**
When most people think of a dog ramp, they picture tiny-legged Dachshunds, Yorkies or other small breeds. But the truth is that **large dogs place far more force on their joints**, so ramps are just as important for them as they are for little dogs – if not more.
If you live with a Labrador, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Staffie, Golden Retriever or any other big breed, every jump they make places incredible strain on their joints. Over time, that repeated impact can lead to pain, injuries and even life-long mobility issues.
Here’s why ramps aren’t a “small dog thing”. They’re a **joint-saving essential for big dogs too**.
## ****Why Big Dogs Need Ramps:****
****More Weight Means More Impact on Landing****
A simple rule applies to all movement: **The heavier the dog, the harder they land.**
When a large dog jumps off:
- the bed
- the couch
- the car boot
- a raised step
…the ground reaction force (the shock that travels back through their legs, joints and spine) is significantly higher than it is for a small dog.
A 35kg Labrador landing after a jump absorbs multiple times the force of a 6kg Dachshund. Bones and joints aren’t designed to repeatedly take that level of impact. ***Ramps reduce that shock entirely.***
## **Jumping Down Is Where Most Joint Damage Happens**
Most people worry about their dog getting up. But **going down is where the real risk lies**. Jumping down jars:
- shoulders
- elbows
- wrists
- hips
- knees
- lower spine
Big dogs often jump down with speed and confidence, which means they put even more pressure on those joints. Over the years, this is one of the biggest contributors to chronic pain in large breeds. ***A ramp removes the drop completely.***
## **Large Breeds Are More Prone to Joint Conditions**
Certain big breeds naturally carry a higher risk of joint problems, including:
- Cruciate ligament tears
- Hip dysplasia
- Elbow dysplasia
- Arthritis
- Early joint degeneration
- Spinal strain due to weight distribution
You’ve heard this story a hundred times:
“His back legs suddenly gave way,”
“She started limping after exercise,”
“He used to jump in the car, and now he won’t.”
These changes don’t suddenly appear. They build over years of repeated impact.
***Using a ramp from a young age helps prevent the damage that often leads to these conditions later in life.***
## Big Dogs Hide Pain Better than Small Dogs
Small dogs complain. Big dogs cope.
A lot of large breeds have a high pain tolerance, which means:
- they continue jumping even when it hurts
- they push through discomfort without showing it
- small changes in gait are easy to miss
By the time they finally show obvious pain, the damage is often well-progressed.
***A ramp gives them a safer alternative long before symptoms appear.***
## Ramps Make Everyday Life Easier for Both of You
It’s not just about preventing injury. Using a ramp makes daily tasks simpler:
- No more lifting a 30kg to 50kg dog into the car
- No more straining your back when they refuse to jump
- No more worrying about slippery steps after surgery or when they’re tired
- No more fear of them slipping when they jump into bed
***Most big dogs take to the ramp quickly, especially if they’re already used to following your lead.***
## Prevention Is the Best Form of Care
The best time to start protecting your dog’s joints is:
- before they show signs of pain
- before arthritis sets in
- before they injure a cruciate ligament
- before jumping becomes a struggle
Think of a ramp as an investment in years of mobility.
You wouldn’t wait until your dog’s teeth are rotten to start brushing. In the same way, you shouldn’t wait until your dog is limping to start reducing joint impact.
## Handcrafted Ramps Built for Big Dogs
Most ramps available online are only designed for dogs up to 20–25kg.
That’s why [**Dog Mom ramps**](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/for-dogs/dog-ramps/) are different.
They’re built:
- for **large and heavy breeds**
- with **high-traction rubber** for secure footing
- with **strong custom hinges**, no generic parts
- to support real-world, everyday use
- to prevent the concussive forces that damage joints over time
***This is why so many German Shepherd, Labrador, Staffie and Rottie parents choose them.***
**Choosing the right ramp matters**
Not all ramps create the same incline. Ramp length and height play a huge role in how much strain is placed on your dog’s joints over time. Use our [**Dog Ramp Angle Calculator** ](https://dogmom.co.za/ramp-angle-calculator/)to compare incline angles for vehicle, couch, and bed ramps, and choose the gentlest, joint-friendly option for your dog’s size, age, and daily routine.
## Final Thoughts
Big dogs aren’t immune to joint problems. If anything, they’re more vulnerable because of their weight, power and energy. A dog ramp isn’t just a mobility tool. It’s one of the simplest, most effective ways to protect your dog’s joints, prevent injuries, and keep them moving comfortably for years.
I’ve been building ramps for years now, but my ramp journey didn’t start as a business. It started with my girl, Emmy. She had *two* cruciate ligament surgeries, and you can read the full story [**HERE!** ](https://dogmom.co.za/dog-ramps-south-africa/)Before her first surgery, I didn’t realise how dangerous everyday jumping was for her joints. She used to launch on and off the couch, the bed, and in and out of the car without hesitation. I had no idea how much strain that was putting on her body over time.
After her first cruciate operation, everything changed. The very first ramp I ever built was a **[car ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/folding-car-ramp/)**, so she could safely get in and out of the car to go to daycare, the vet, the beach and on our daily walks. Once I saw how much strain it removed from her landing, I built her a **[couch ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-couch-ramp/)** so she could be with the family without risking further injury. From that point on, she was only allowed to use the couch via her ramp and only allowed into the car using her car ramp.
I also had to stop her getting onto the bed completely, because there wasn’t space in my bedroom for a ramp at the right angle. It was a very emotional decision for me, because the bed had always been her favourite place. But keeping her healthy mattered more. I bought her a comfortable orthopaedic bed for the floor, and now she has comfy beds all over the house so she’s always cosy and included wherever we are.
Since then, I’ve become a genuine advocate for using ramps *before* joint issues begin. So many people who contact me are doing so because their dog has already had surgery, is struggling with pain, or is suddenly too old to jump safely. I’ve lived that journey, and I want to help people avoid the regret and panic that come when you realise the damage has already been done. It is so much easier to train a young, healthy dog to use a ramp from the beginning and protect their joints long before any signs of discomfort appear.
Whether you buy a Dog Mom ramp or a ramp from anywhere else, I strongly believe there are two things every first-time dog parent should invest in: **a ramp and pet insurance**. Both protect your dog’s future in ways you can only truly appreciate once you’ve been through what I went through with Emmy. You can read my blog post on pet insurance [**HERE!**](https://dogmom.co.za/pet-insurance-in-south-africa-how-to-avoid-heartbreak/)
## If You Need Help Choosing the Right Ramp
Every dog deserves to move comfortably and safely, and sometimes all it takes is the right bit of support at the right time. If you’re not sure which ramp will suit your dog’s lifestyle, mobility or home setup, I’m just a message away. After years of building ramps and helping dog parents through every stage of the journey, I’m always here to offer honest, practical advice tailored to your dog’s needs.

### [Veterinary Physiotherapy for Dogs | Rehab & Mobility](https://dogmom.co.za/veterinary-physiotherapy-for-dogs/)
**Published:** September 3, 2026
**Author:** Sandra - Dog Mom
**Excerpt:** Most of us only discover veterinary physiotherapy after something has already gone wrong. An injury, a diagnosis, surgery. I didn't know it existed until Emmy needed it. Here's what veterinary physiotherapy actually is, how it differs from animal rehabilitation, and why it's worth knowing about long before you need it.

# **Veterinary Physiotherapy for Dogs | Rehab & Mobility**
Laser therapy used during Emmy’s veterinary physiotherapy to support joint comfort and mobilityMany dog parents only discover veterinary physiotherapy for dogs after something has gone wrong. An injury. A diagnosis. Surgery. Until that point, most of us assume that rest, medication, or time will be enough.
I was no different. I didn’t know veterinary physiotherapy existed until my own dog needed it. And if I didn’t know about it then, chances are many dog parents still don’t.
Veterinary physiotherapy for dogs is not only about rehabilitation after surgery. It can play an important role in supporting mobility, managing discomfort, addressing compensation, and improving quality of life for dogs at many different stages of life.
Along the way, you will likely also come across animal rehabilitation practitioners. It is a separate qualification with its own training and professional affiliations, working alongside veterinary physiotherapy rather than in place of it, and Emmy has been cared for by both over the years.
This post is not medical advice. I am not a vet, physiotherapist, rehabilitation practitioner, or surgeon. I am a dog mom sharing what I have learned through experience, in the hope that it helps other dog parents feel more informed and supported.
## What is veterinary physiotherapy?
Veterinary physiotherapy focuses on assessing how a dog moves and identifying areas of weakness, stiffness, discomfort, or compensation. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual dog and are used alongside veterinary care, not instead of it.
A veterinary physiotherapist looks at the whole dog, not just the site of injury. By understanding movement patterns, muscle balance, and joint function, physiotherapy aims to improve comfort, strength, and mobility while reducing strain on other parts of the body.
### Veterinary physiotherapy vs animal rehabilitation
The two terms get used almost interchangeably by dog parents, but they are not quite the same thing. Veterinary physiotherapists and animal rehabilitation practitioners come through different courses of study, and often belong to different professional bodies. In practice, the two roles overlap heavily and many dogs are cared for by both across their lifetime, so the distinction matters less to your dog’s outcome than finding someone properly trained and experienced. If you are unsure which you are dealing with, it is entirely reasonable to ask a practitioner directly about their qualification and affiliation.
## When dogs may benefit from veterinary physiotherapy or animal rehabilitation
Both are often associated with recovery after surgery, but their role is far broader than that.
Dogs may benefit following orthopaedic surgery such as [cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) surgery](https://dogmom.co.za/ccl-surgery-in-dogs-acl-what-every-dog-parent-should-know/) or spinal surgery, including conditions like [intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)](https://dogmom.co.za/ivdd-in-dogs/). It can also be helpful for dogs with arthritis, ageing dogs who are becoming stiff or less mobile, and dogs who are compensating through their shoulders, neck, or back due to hind limb discomfort.
Active, sporting, and working dogs may also benefit as part of ongoing maintenance, helping to support performance, reduce injury risk, and identify small issues before they become bigger problems.
In many cases, the earlier physiotherapy or rehabilitation support is introduced, the better the long-term outcome.
## Common treatments in veterinary physiotherapy and animal rehabilitation
Treatment may include a range of approaches, depending on the dog’s needs, and the two disciplines share much of the same toolkit.
This can include manual therapy to address tight or overworked muscles, targeted exercises to improve strength and stability, and gait or movement assessments. Many rehabilitation programmes also incorporate underwater treadmill therapy or swimming, allowing dogs to build strength in a controlled, low-impact environment. Laser therapy is commonly used to help support circulation, reduce inflammation, and manage discomfort, particularly around joints and soft tissue. Biokinetic exercises, aimed at rebuilding body awareness, balance, and core strength, are also a common part of rehabilitation programmes.
Not every dog will require every type of treatment. A good programme adapts over time as the dog’s condition and needs change.
## Emmy’s physiotherapy and rehabilitation journey
I was first introduced to this side of recovery after Emmy ruptured her first cranial cruciate ligament in December 2017. At the time, I had no idea that physiotherapy or rehabilitation formed part of post-surgical recovery for dogs.
After her surgery, Emmy was referred to Pet Wellness Worx, working with Lorren, an animal rehabilitation practitioner. Her rehabilitation included laser treatment, underwater treadmill work, and swimming. That experience completely changed how I viewed recovery. Surgery alone was not the end of the process.
When Emmy ruptured her second cruciate ligament and underwent surgery again in July 2021, access to an underwater treadmill became especially important. At that stage, Equine Librium, located next to Panorama Veterinary Hospital, offered one of the few nearby rehabilitation options with an underwater treadmill, and Emmy completed her post-surgical rehabilitation there.
Equine Librium also operates as a training college, and during Emmy’s time there, I met a number of students training in veterinary physiotherapy and animal rehabilitation. Many have since gone on to build their own practices, including Kirsten, a veterinary physiotherapist who later established [Startline Veterinary Physiotherapy](https://startlinevetphysio.com/).
> “At Startline we offer mobile physiotherapy care for patients that prefer being in their own comfortable environment. This service allows us to get greater insight into the functional environment the patient is exposed to daily. We do a deep dive into how we can improve our patient’s ability to perform daily tasks and activities they love, whilst working with our client owners to make their pet’s space easier and more comfortable to navigate. It is imperative that the treatments we provide are maintained as long as possible with healthy functional bodies, from the morning breakfast routine to the evening bedtime routine. Startline focuses on preparing our patients for the start of their day, all the way to the finish.”

> As Emmy has aged, her physiotherapy needs have shifted from rehabilitation to long-term maintenance. Due to the discomfort caused by arthritis, the two cruciate ligament surgeries, and her age, Emmy now compensates by using her shoulders, neck, and back more than she should.
Today, her physiotherapy focuses on gentle soft tissue release to loosen overworked muscles, laser treatment on her knees to support circulation and comfort, and targeted exercises to help her stay strong and mobile. She now prefers in-home treatment, which suits her well at this stage of her life.
For Emmy, this kind of support did not end once recovery was complete. It evolved as her needs changed.
> *“Pet rehabilitation is a team effort, and we are here to support both you and your pet every step of the way. Treatment may include physical therapy and gentle hands-on techniques such as massage and range-of-motion exercises to help improve comfort, movement, and recovery. We may also use laser therapy to help reduce pain and inflammation, making your pet feel more comfortable as they heal. Biokinetic therapeutic exercises are also an important part of rehabilitation. These exercises help your pet rebuild body awareness, balance, strength, and coordination, while gently reactivating muscles that may have become weak or inactive, especially the core muscles needed for stability and good posture.”*

## How to find a veterinary physiotherapist or animal rehabilitation practitioner
Finding a qualified veterinary physiotherapist or animal rehabilitation practitioner can feel daunting, particularly if you are not based near a large city or referral hospital.
A good starting point is always your vet. Many vets work closely with both and can recommend someone experienced in post-surgical rehabilitation, arthritis management, or long-term mobility support.
Some rehabilitation centres, such as Equine Librium, operate across multiple regions in South Africa and also offer training programmes for veterinary physiotherapists and animal rehabilitation practitioners. Facilities like these often serve as referral hubs and can be helpful when searching for reputable practitioners in different areas.
In-home treatment is another option, particularly for older dogs or dogs who find travel stressful. Many practitioners, of either qualification, offer home visits, allowing treatment to take place in a familiar, calm environment.
Wherever you are based, it is important to ensure that whoever you choose is properly trained and works in collaboration with your vet..
## Veterinary physiotherapy, animal rehabilitation, and pet medical insurance
Veterinary physiotherapy and animal rehabilitation can feel out of reach for some dog parents, particularly when it becomes part of ongoing care rather than short-term recovery.
Understanding how pet medical insurance works, and what rehabilitation benefits may be included, can make a meaningful difference when planning your dog’s care.
Coverage differs between providers and plans, but physiotherapy and rehabilitation may be covered when prescribed by a vet, particularly following surgery or injury. It is always worth reviewing your policy details or speaking directly to your insurer to understand what support is available.
I have personally insured my dogs with [MediPet](https://medipet.co.za), and they have covered both of Emmy’s CCL surgeries, her post-surgical rehabilitation, and some of her physiotherapy sessions over the years. In months where finances were a little tighter, having that support made it possible for her to continue with the care she needed, without having to compromise on her recovery or comfort.
> “The success of many orthopedic surgeries doesn’t end in the operating theatre. It continues through rehabilitation. Physiotherapy plays an incredibly important role in helping pets regain strength, mobility and confidence, often determining just how successful their recovery and surgery will be.
> This is one of the reasons we chose to include physiotherapy and rehabilitation benefits in our comprehensive MediPet plans. I have seen first-hand the remarkable difference these treatments can make, particularly for larger breeds. Underwater treadmill therapy, for example, is an exceptional way to strengthen the muscular system by improving mobility and building muscle, all while minimising unnecessary stress on vulnerable joints.
> Just like people, our pets sometimes need a little extra support to recover fully or to maintain their quality of life as they age. Financial constraints should never stand in the way of accessing the care that can make such a meaningful difference in their quality of life.”
>
> ***— Louise Griffiths, Founder and CEO, MediPet***
Insurance is a safety net. It is not something to be taken advantage of, but rather there to support responsible, necessary care when it is genuinely needed.
## Supporting physiotherapy outcomes at home
Physiotherapy does not only happen during appointments. The home environment plays an important role in supporting movement and long-term comfort.
Simple considerations such as non-slip flooring, controlled movement, and appropriate support for getting in and out of cars or onto furniture can help reduce unnecessary strain. [Dog ramps](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/for-dogs/dog-ramps/), for example, can minimise impact on joints, particularly for dogs recovering from surgery or managing [arthritis](https://dogmom.co.za/arthritis-in-dogs/), by reducing the need to jump down. This applies just as much to [large dogs as it does to small ones](https://dogmom.co.za/why-big-dogs-need-ramps-just-as-much-as-small-dogs/), and ties back to [why repeated jumping causes so much joint damage in the first place](https://dogmom.co.za/why-jumping-damages-your-dogs-joints/).
Raised feeders may also improve comfort for some dogs by reducing the need to bend, particularly for dogs compensating through their front end. Suitability should always be discussed with a vet, especially for breeds prone to bloat.
Consistency, observation, and small daily adjustments often make a meaningful difference.
## Final thoughts
Veterinary physiotherapy and animal rehabilitation are not only about fixing what is broken. Between them, they support movement, comfort, and quality of life over time.
For many dogs, physiotherapy or rehabilitation becomes part of a longer journey rather than a short-term solution. Understanding what each is, when they may help, and how they fit into overall care allows dog parents to make informed, compassionate decisions.
If you are navigating recovery, ageing, or mobility challenges with your dog, know that you are not alone. With the right support, thoughtful planning, and a team you trust, dogs can continue to live comfortable, happy lives.

### [CCL Surgery in Dogs (ACL): What Every Dog Parent Should Know](https://dogmom.co.za/ccl-surgery-in-dogs-acl-what-every-dog-parent-should-know/)
**Published:** December 20, 2025

**Excerpt:** Facing CCL (ACL) surgery with your dog can feel overwhelming. This guide shares what to expect, how to support recovery, and the practical steps I took after Emmy’s surgeries to protect her joints and mobility.

# **CCL Surgery in Dogs **(ACL)** : What Every Dog Parent Should Know**
Here is Emmy post-CCL Surgery, recovering in her playpen.## ACL or Cruciate Ligament Injuries (Tear/Rupture)
**CCL surgery in dogs is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures performed to restore knee stability after a cruciate ligament injury. If you have recently been told that your dog has torn their Cruciate Ligament, or needs CCL surgery, you are probably feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of what lies ahead.**
I have been there. Twice.
My dog, Emmy, underwent two CCL surgeries, one on each hind leg. While the surgery itself is a critical step, what I learned very quickly is that recovery, home management, and long-term lifestyle changes play an equally important role in whether your dog heals well and stays sound.
I am not a vet, physio, or surgeon. I am a dog mom who has been through CCL surgery twice with my own dog, and what I am sharing here is what I followed very strictly during Emmy’s recovery and what I would encourage other dog parents to consider when navigating CCL surgery and life afterwards.
## CCL vs ACL: What’s the Difference?
In dogs, the ligament commonly referred to as the ACL in humans is actually called the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). Many vets and dog parents still use the term ACL because it is more familiar, but medically, CCL is the correct term for dogs.
You may see both terms used interchangeably. In this post, I’ll mainly refer to CCL, but if you have been told your dog needs ACL surgery, you are in the right place.
### Types of CCL Surgery in Dogs (Brief Overview)
There are several surgical options used to stabilise a dog’s knee after a CCL tear. The goal of surgery is to restore stability so that the joint can function without the ligament.
Some of the more common options include:
**TPLO (Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy)** A bone-altering surgery that changes the angle of the tibia to stabilise the knee. Often recommended for active dogs and larger breeds, but not limited to them.
**TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement)** Another surgical technique that alters joint mechanics to stabilise the knee. It may be used in dogs of various sizes depending on the case and surgeon preference.
**Extracapsular stabilisation systems (such as IsoToggle)** These use a strong synthetic fibre to stabilise the knee externally without cutting the bone. Emmy had stabilisation surgery using the IsoToggle system.
Which surgery is recommended depends on many factors, including your dog’s size, activity level, anatomy, and your vet or surgeon’s experience. This blog is not about choosing the “right” surgery. It is about what happens after.
## Emmy’s CCL Journey
Emmy tore one CCL, underwent surgery and recovery, and then, like many dogs, tore the second CCL later on. This is unfortunately very common. Clinical experience shows that if one CCL tears, the other often follows within one to three years.
What stood out to me was that even once dogs appear healed, the risk does not disappear. How you manage their movement, environment, and daily habits continues to matter long after recovery.
## The Reality of Recovery After CCL Surgery
The first weeks after CCL surgery are critical. Regardless of the surgical technique used, the principles of recovery are largely the same.
**Strict rest and confinement**: I chose to use a playpen rather than a crate for Emmy. This gave her enough room to lie comfortably without allowing her to move freely. The key is controlled rest. Unrestricted movement too early can undo the work done in surgery.
**Leash-only outings**: For the first number of weeks, Emmy went outside only on a leash, was always supervised when toileting, and was not allowed to wander, trot, or suddenly change direction. Even short toilet breaks matter. One slip, sprint, or jump can set recovery back significantly.
**Managing slippery floors**: My home has tiled floors, so I used yoga mats and non-slip runners in all high-traffic areas. Anywhere Emmy needed to walk in and out had grip. Slipping does not just cause falls. It places sudden strain on healing joints.
**Reducing excitement**: This was a big one for me. Emmy gets excited easily. Doorbells, visitors, sudden noises. During recovery, excitement equals risk. I removed the batteries from the doorbell. Visitors phoned instead of knocking. It may sound extreme, but it worked. Recovery is not just about physical restriction. It is also about managing stimulation.
**Comfort during daily routines (including feeding)**: Another small adjustment that can help during recovery is making mealtimes more comfortable. Some dogs, particularly those recovering from CCL surgery or those who are older, may overcompensate through their front legs, shoulders, and neck when their hind legs are sore or weak. In these cases, raising food and water bowls slightly can reduce the need for repeated bending and make eating more comfortable.
This is something I have found helpful with Emmy as she has gotten older and developed arthritis in her back legs, which has led to stiffness through her upper body and neck.
As with any change, it’s important to speak to your vet about what is appropriate for your dog. Raised feeders may not be suitable for all dogs, particularly certain breeds that are prone to bloat, so it’s always best to get professional guidance before introducing them.
**Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation**: Physio played a huge role in Emmy’s recovery. This included [regular physiotherapy sessions](https://dogmom.co.za/veterinary-physiotherapy-for-dogs/), underwater treadmill therapy which allowed controlled strengthening without impact, and gradual, guided increases in activity. After a few weeks, swimming was introduced as a non-weight bearing strength training excercise.
In addition to hands-on physiotherapy and controlled exercise, laser therapy is often used as part of post-surgical rehabilitation. Laser therapy is commonly used to help reduce inflammation, improve circulation to the affected area, and support healing of soft tissue around the joint. For some dogs, it can also help with pain management during the recovery phase. The suitability and frequency of laser therapy should always be guided by your vet or veterinary physiotherapist.

Physiotherapy is not only beneficial during recovery after surgery. Regular physio can be valuable for dogs of all ages, whether they are recovering from an injury, managing arthritis, or simply getting older. Ongoing physiotherapy can help keep muscles supple, maintain mobility, and address tightness or compensatory movement patterns before they become bigger issues.
To this day, Emmy still has regular physiotherapy sessions to ensure her muscles are not overly tight and that her mobility is not compromised as she ages. She also continues with laser therapy as part of her maintenance care, helping to support circulation and manage stiffness, particularly given her arthritis and past CCL injuries.
## Why Jumping Is a Problem After CCL Surgery
One of the most important things I learned is this: **Jumping down is more damaging than jumping up.**
When a dog jumps down, especially from a height like a car, couch, or bed, the concussive force placed through the joints is significant. After CCL surgery, and even once healed, this impact can place unnecessary strain on both the repaired leg and the opposite leg.
***During recovery, dogs should not be jumping at all.***
After recovery, uncontrolled jumping significantly increases the risk of further injury.
## Ramps and Life After CCL Surgery
This is where ramps become incredibly important.
**Car ramps are essential**.
Dogs need to get in and out of cars. Vet visits, physio appointments, daily life.
Lifting a dog is not always safe, practical, or possible, especially with medium to large breeds. Allowing a dog to jump out of a car after CCL surgery is one of the highest-risk movements you can allow.
For me, a car ramp was non-negotiable from the moment Emmy came home from surgery. It allowed her to move in and out of the car in a controlled, supported way without impact. You can read more about why large dogs require ramps here: [READ POST.](https://dogmom.co.za/why-big-dogs-need-ramps-just-as-much-as-small-dogs/ "Why Big Dogs Need Ramps")
Even long after recovery, she still uses a ramp for the car.

\[wcpscwc\_pdt\_slider type=”featured”\]
**Couch and bed access: an honest conversation**
This part is very personal and very honest.
I made the decision that Emmy would no longer have access to the bed at all. The reason was simple. If something caught her attention, she would jump down from the closest edge, not necessarily where a ramp was placed.
Unless you are able to train your dog consistently to use a ramp every single time they jump down, **it can actually be safer to remove access altogether.**
Instead, Emmy has a safe, comfortable sleeping space near my bed, close to me, without the risk of jumping.
Couch access was handled differently. Only after full recovery, only in controlled situations, and only using a ramp that can be moved out of the way when unsupervised.
This will look different for every household. **The key is being honest about your dog’s behaviour.**
## Large Breed Ramp Considerations
For larger and heavier dogs, the angle of a ramp becomes even more important. The steeper the incline, the more strain is placed on healing joints. Longer ramps can help reduce that angle and provide a more gradual, controlled movement, particularly for dogs recovering from CCL surgery or those at higher risk due to size or weight.
Having ramp options that cater to different dogs and vehicles makes it easier to choose something that truly supports safe movement, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
## Preventing Future Injuries Starts Early
**CCL injuries are not just a senior dog problem.** If your dog is young and allowed on furniture, encouraged to jump in and out of cars, or regularly jumps down from height, those forces add up over time.
Using ramps from a young age reduces cumulative joint impact, protects knees, hips, and spine, and may help prevent injuries like CCL tears later in life. **Prevention is always easier than recovery.**
## Final Thoughts on CCL Surgery and Recovery
CCL surgery is not just a surgical event. It is a journey that involves **patience, structure, and long-term mindset changes.**
What helped Emmy most was not just the surgery itself, but **strict recovery management, physiotherapy, thoughtful changes to her environment, and removing unnecessary joint stress wherever possible.**
If you are navigating CCL surgery with your dog, know that you are not alone. With the right support, planning, and tools, dogs can recover well and go on to live happy, active lives. And if you ever need reassurance or have questions along the way, you’re always welcome to reach out.
Kindest Regards,

### [Why Jumping Is Secretly Damaging Your Dog's Joints](https://dogmom.co.za/why-jumping-damages-your-dogs-joints/)
**Published:** May 9, 2026
**Author:** Sandra - Dog Mom
**Excerpt:** Emmy was 14 when I realised how much damage I'd unknowingly let happen. Two cruciate surgeries, a brace on her front right paw, and arthritis she'll manage for the rest of her life. Most of it was preventable. Here's what I wish I'd known sooner.
**Content:**
# **Why Jumping Is Secretly Damaging Your Dog’s Joints**
Emmy in the car, wearing a braceI was at daycare collecting my dogs, Oscar and Emmy, when it happened. They came bounding out to the car, Emmy’s tail going like a helicopter, beside herself with excitement, as she launched herself into the boot. Nothing unusual. She’d done it a thousand times. But that day, she ruptured her cruciate ligament.
She was mid-air when it happened, and by the time she landed she was already limping. Looking back now, I know it wasn’t that one jump that did it. That jump was just the one that pushed her past her limit. The damage had been building quietly for years.
Emmy is 14 at the time of writing this post. She’s had two cruciate ligament surgeries (one on each side) and she wears a brace on her front right paw every time we go for a walk. And I’ll be honest with you: most of the damage was preventable. I just didn’t know what I didn’t know.
That’s what this post is about.
## The Physics Your Dog’s Body Has to Deal With
When your dog jumps down from a bed, couch, or the back of a car, their body has to absorb the full force of the landing. That force isn’t just their body weight; it’s their weight multiplied by the speed of the fall.
Research in veterinary biomechanics has shown that the impact force on a dog’s forelimbs during landing can be **five to six times their body weight**. So if your Labrador weighs 30kg, their front legs absorb up to 180kg of force with every single landing.
Now think about how often that happens in a single day. Off the bed in the morning. Down from the couch after breakfast. Out of the car boot in the afternoon. Back onto the couch in the evening. That’s easily four to six high-impact landings per day, over 1,500 times a year.
For Emmy, that was years’ worth of jumps: into and out of the car boot, on and off the couch, and up onto my bed. When visitors came over, Emmy would hear the doorbell and come to welcome them (a quick greeting, very polite) and then she’d disappear. Up onto the bed, behind the pillows, into her own little haven. She’d leave Oscar, her brother, to do the real entertaining. He was the people dog, happiest in the middle of the action, whoever was there. Emmy was perfectly happy to let him have it.
It was one of my favourite things about her. And it never once crossed my mind that every one of those jumps onto the bed, off the bed, in and out of that car boot, every single day, was adding up.
I never thought twice about any of it. Why would I? She loved it. She was good at it. She seemed completely fine.
Until she wasn’t.
## Which Dogs Are Most at Risk?
While jumping affects all dogs, some are significantly more vulnerable than others.
### Small and long-backed breeds
Dachshunds, Corgis, Basset Hounds, and Beagles are at high risk of **Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)**, a spinal condition where the discs between the vertebrae rupture or bulge under pressure. Repeated jumping is one of the biggest contributors to this painful, and sometimes paralysing, condition.
### Large and giant breeds
German Shepherds, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Rottweilers, and Great Danes are prone to **hip dysplasia** and **elbow dysplasia**, structural joint conditions that are worsened by repeated impact. In large breeds, the weight-to-joint-surface ratio means every landing hits harder.
### Senior dogs
As dogs age, their cartilage thins and their joints lose cushioning. A 9-year-old dog jumping off the bed causes far more damage than a 2-year-old doing the same thing, even if they look completely fine doing it.
### Overweight dogs
Extra body weight means extra impact force. An overweight dog jumping off a couch isn’t just risking their joints; the two problems compound each other rapidly.
### Dogs recovering from surgery
If your dog has had CCL (ACL) surgery, spinal surgery, or any orthopaedic procedure, jumping is often the single biggest threat to a successful recovery. Even when they seem healed, the internal repair is still fragile.
### What I learned the hard way
After Emmy’s first cruciate surgery, I built her a couch ramp, thinking that the effort of jumping up onto the couch was the issue. Her cruciate ligament had ruptured in her back legs, so in my mind, the ramp was there to take the strain out of getting UP. I wasn’t really thinking about the coming down. When she jumped straight off the couch, I wasn’t too concerned. I thought I had the problem solved. I was wrong.
Almost 100% of the time, she used the ramp beautifully to get up onto the couch. That part worked perfectly. The problem was coming down. When something exciting caught her attention and she wanted to get outside quickly, Emmy would take the path of least resistance in her mind. Instead of walking over to where the ramp was and coming down properly, she would simply jump off. The doorbell. The dog next door barking at the wall. (During lockdown, that happened constantly.) And each time she did, she was loading that front right paw with impact it was never going to recover from. Emmy now has laxity in that front right paw and has to wear a brace every time we go for a walk to keep it stable. Jumping down, as it turns out, is the bigger problem. I just didn’t know that yet.
After her second cruciate surgery (three years later, chasing a ball this time), I made a harder call. I removed the couch ramp entirely. She lost couch privileges. It wasn’t a decision I took lightly; Emmy on the couch is basically her personality. But the jumping off was doing more damage than the jumping on, and I couldn’t manage what I couldn’t see coming.
## The Long-Term Consequences
The tricky thing about joint damage from jumping is that it’s cumulative and slow. You won’t see it happening, until one day you do.
Common consequences of repeated high-impact jumping include:
- **Arthritis:** the most common long-term outcome, caused by cartilage breakdown over time. Emmy developed arthritis as a result of her two ACL surgeries. She now goes for a monthly pentosan injection, takes daily pain medication to keep her comfortable, and is on ongoing mobility supplements. She also has physio twice a month. It is manageable, but it is also for life.
- **CCL (ACL) tears:** the cruciate ligament in the knee is frequently damaged by the twisting motion of landing
- **IVDD:** spinal disc rupture, particularly in chondrodystrophic breeds like Dachshunds
- **Hip and elbow dysplasia progression:** existing structural issues deteriorate faster with repeated impact
- **Joint laxity:** repeated impact can cause the ligaments around a joint to stretch and loosen over time, leading to instability
That last one is exactly what happened to Emmy, as I described above. The laxity had been building quietly for years before it became visible as a problem.
The cruel irony is that dogs rarely show pain until a condition is already well advanced. They are stoic by nature; they’ll keep jumping, keep playing, and keep wagging their tails right up until they can’t. Emmy was no different. She seemed absolutely fine right up until she wasn’t.
## What You Can Do Right Now
The good news is that this is one of the most preventable forms of joint damage in dogs. And the solution is simpler than you’d think.
### Use a ramp, and actually commit to it
A quality dog ramp gives your dog a gentle, low-impact incline to walk up and down from elevated surfaces: the bed, the couch, the car boot, wherever they spend time. Instead of a single explosive landing that shocks their joints, they walk down a surface that distributes the load evenly across all four limbs.
After Emmy’s first cruciate surgery, her recovery period was what finally pushed me to build my first dog ramp, specifically for the car boot. That ramp was the beginning of Dog Mom. I wish I’d built it before the surgery, not after.
The important thing I’d add from experience: a ramp only protects your dog if they use it every single time. If your dog still finds ways to leap off, especially if something startles them, you may need to make the decision I did and remove access to that surface altogether, at least until their recovery is complete. A ramp you can’t consistently use isn’t protection.
### Start young
Don’t wait for a rupture or a diagnosis to introduce a ramp. The time to protect your dog’s joints is before the damage starts. A puppy who grows up using a ramp will have significantly better joint health in their senior years than one who spent a decade jumping freely.
Had I known at the beginning what I know now, Emmy would have had a car ramp from the moment she was big enough to jump. She would have had a couch and bed ramp long before her first surgery. And she probably wouldn’t need the brace she wears today.
### Keep their weight healthy
Every extra kilogram your dog carries multiplies the impact force on their joints. Keeping your dog lean is one of the most powerful joint-protection strategies available, and it costs nothing.
### Know your breed’s risks
If you have a breed that’s genetically predisposed to back or joint problems, be even more vigilant. Prevention is always cheaper, financially and emotionally, than treatment.
## A Ramp Isn’t a Compromise. It’s a Gift.
Emmy is 14 and still going, brace and all. She’s one of the toughest, most joyful dogs I’ve ever known. But I’d give a lot to go back and give her a ramp on day one. Not because it would have guaranteed a perfect outcome, but because it would have given her joints every possible advantage.
You may still have that chance with your dog.

### [IVDD in Dogs - What Every Dog Parent Should Know](https://dogmom.co.za/ivdd-in-dogs/)
**Published:** September 15, 2025
**Author:** Sandra - Dog Mom
**Excerpt:** Learn what IVDD in dogs is, which breeds are at risk, common symptoms, treatment options, and how ramps can help prevent painful spinal injuries.

# IVDD in Dogs – What Every Dog Parent Should Know
If you’re the proud parent of a Dachshund, Corgi, Beagle, or any long‑backed breed, you’ve probably heard of IVDD in dogs. Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is one of the most common spinal conditions in canines. While it can sound frightening, understanding what it is and how to prevent or manage it empowers you to protect your furry kid’s spine.
## What is IVDD in dogs?
A dog’s spine is a chain of small bones (vertebrae) separated by flexible discs. Each disc has a tough outer ring and a gel‑like centre that acts as a shock absorber and allows the spine to flex. Over time, these discs can dry out or harden and may slip or burst. When a disc degenerates or herniates, it can press on the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain, weakness, or even paralysis.
Veterinarians recognise two main patterns of disc disease:
- **Sudden disc rupture** – the soft centre hardens and ruptures all at once, often after a jump or twist, and presses sharply on the spinal cord. This tends to affect younger dogs with long backs, such as Dachshunds.
- **Slow disc bulging** – the disc gradually dries out and bulges over months or years, causing chronic compression of the spinal cord. This form is more common in middle‑aged or older dogs, particularly large breeds.
Both forms are called **Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)** and share the same end result: compression of the spinal cord, which can range from mild discomfort to loss of mobility. Understanding how discs deteriorate helps explain why avoiding repetitive jumping and supporting your dog’s spine with ramps and other preventative measures is so important.
## Which Breeds are most at risk?
While any dog can develop IVDD, certain breeds are more predisposed because of their long backs and short legs (known as chondrodystrophic breeds).
**Very high risk:** Dachshunds (up to **1 in 4** will experience IVDD in their lifetime).
**Other at-risk breeds:** Beagles, Corgis, Shih Tzus, Pekingese, French Bulldogs, Basset Hounds, Poodles.
**Larger breeds:** Can also be affected, although less commonly.
Even if your dog isn’t one of these breeds, jumping on and off couches, beds, or cars can still put stress on the spine and joints, increasing the risk of IVDD in dogs, and prevention is always better than treatment.
## Signs & Symptoms of IVDD in dogs
Symptoms vary depending on the disc location and degree of compression. Common signs include:
- **Early pain signs:** Hunched back, reluctance to move or jump, head held low, shaking/trembling, crying out, stiffness.
- **Weakness & balance issues:** Limping, wobbling or unsteady gait, stumbling over back feet, knuckling under.
- **Severe neurological signs:** Dragging hind legs, crossing hind legs, loss of paw sensation, inability to stand or walk.
- **Loss of bladder/bowel control:** Urinary or fecal incontinence.
- **Complete paralysis** in extreme cases.
**Emergency warning:** If your dog suddenly shows weakness, is unable to walk, or loses control of bladder or bowel, seek veterinary care immediately. Early intervention is critical to prevent permanent damage.
## Diagnosis & Treatment Options
Your vet will start with a thorough physical and neurological exam. Imaging may be necessary to confirm IVDD and determine the best treatment:
- **X‑rays:** Show vertebrae spacing but do not reveal the spinal cord.
- **MRI:** The gold standard for pinpointing disc herniation and spinal cord compression.
- **CT scan or myelography:** Alternatives when MRI is not available.
Early diagnosis allows for more treatment options and better outcomes. Treatment depends on the severity of spinal cord compression and neurological deficits:
- **Medical management (mild cases):**
- **Strict crate rest** for 4–6 weeks to prevent further disc movement.
- **Pain relief & anti‑inflammatories** (NSAIDs or steroids) to reduce swelling.
- **Muscle relaxants** as prescribed.
- **Physical therapy:** Hydrotherapy, laser therapy, massage, and controlled exercises help speed recovery.
- **Surgical intervention (moderate to severe cases):**
- Recommended if there is significant weakness, loss of pain sensation, or worsening neurological signs.
- Procedures such as hemilaminectomy or dorsal laminectomy remove part of the vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
- **Post‑operative care:** Crate rest, careful monitoring, and ongoing physical therapy.
The sooner surgery is performed after neurological decline, the better the chances of recovery[](https://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/neurological/c_dg_intervertebral_disc_disease#:~:text=How%20Veterinarians%20Diagnose%20IVDD%20in,Dogs)
## How to help, prevent or manage IVDD
While you can’t change genetics, you can make lifestyle adjustments that support your dog’s spine health.
### Everyday prevention tips
- **Avoid jumping**: Repeated impact from leaping off couches, beds, or cars puts stress on the spine.
- **Maintain a healthy weight**: Extra weight = extra strain.
- **Encourage gentle exercise**: Regular walks and controlled play help keep muscles strong.
- **Supportive lifting**: Always lift by supporting both the chest and rear end.
- **Harness over collar**: Prevents unnecessary neck strain.
- **Provide supportive bedding**: A firm, cushioned bed keeps the spine aligned.
- **Train with ramps**: Teach your dog to use ramps for couches, beds and (if your dog isn’t small enough to lift in and out of your car) car ramps to prevent repetitive jumping.
## Why Ramps are a game-changer for dogs at risk of IVDD
One of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of spinal injury and help prevent IVDD in dogs is to limit jumping. That’s where dog ramps come in. Jumping down is especially hard on joints and the spine. By using a ramp, your dog walks safely at a gentle angle instead of absorbing the shock of landing.
That’s why we created the Dog Mom® Handcrafted Signature Ramp Collection:
- A variety of ramps to suit couches, beds, and cars.
- High-traction rubber for confident grip.
- Strong enough for dogs up to 70 kg.
- Foldable and compact for easy storage.
Starting ramp training early helps your dog build positive habits and reduces spinal stress over a lifetime.

## Living with a dog diagnosed with IVDD
If your dog has already been diagnosed with IVDD, daily care becomes even more important:
- Follow your vet’s instructions precisely.
- Use ramps for couches, beds, and (where needed) cars.
- Keep playtime gentle — avoid rough jumping or tugging.
- Provide supportive bedding.
- Enforce rest and limit stair use (or use baby gates).
- Stick to a healthy weight.
- Explore physical therapy under professional guidance.
- Monitor carefully for changes, and stay in close contact with your vet.
- Stay patient – recovery can be gradual, and dogs often regain mobility with proper care.
Many dogs with IVDD live long, happy lives — with the right support, they can still enjoy plenty of tail wags and cuddles.
## Final thoughts & resources
IVDD can sound scary, but knowledge is power. By spotting the signs early, seeking prompt veterinary care, and making proactive lifestyle changes, you can make a huge difference in your dog’s comfort and long-term health. Don’t ignore early signs of pain or weakness; early diagnosis and treatment make all the difference.
And remember — preventing damage is always easier than treating it later. Something as simple as a well-built dog ramp can take a big load off your pup’s back (literally!).

### [Arthritis in Dogs: Signs, Management and Ramp Tips](https://dogmom.co.za/arthritis-in-dogs/)
**Published:** August 1, 2026
**Author:** Sandra - Dog Mom
**Excerpt:** Emmy has arthritis. She got it after two cruciate surgeries, one on each knee. At 14, she's still one of the most joyful dogs I've ever known. Here's what her management plan looks like, and why a ramp is one of the most practical things you can do for an arthritic dog.
**Content:**
## **Arthritis in Dogs: Signs, Management and Why Ramps Are a Game-Changer**
Emmy has arthritis. She has it as a result of her two cruciate ligament surgeries, one on each knee, years apart. It’s managed. But it’s for life. And it is entirely liveable with the right approach.
She has a pentosan injection once a month, which keeps the joint fluid healthy and reduces inflammation. She takes daily pain medication to keep her comfortable. She’s on ongoing mobility supplements. She walks with me almost every day, with her brace on her front right paw to keep that joint stable, and she is, at 14, still one of the most joyful dogs I have ever known.
I’m not going to pretend arthritis is nothing. It isn’t. But I also know from watching Emmy that a diagnosis of arthritis is not the end of the road. It’s the beginning of a different kind of care.
If your dog has just been diagnosed, or you’re noticing signs you’re not sure about, this post is for you.
## What Arthritis Actually Is
Arthritis, or more precisely [osteoarthritis (OA),](https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/riney-canine-health-center/canine-health-topics/osteoarthritis "Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine: Osteoarthritis overview") is the progressive degeneration of cartilage within a joint. Cartilage is the smooth, slippery tissue that allows joint surfaces to glide over each other without friction. When it breaks down, the bones begin to rub together. The body responds with inflammation, new bone growth around the joint margins (called osteophytes or bone spurs), and thickening of the joint capsule. The result is pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
It’s a one-way process. The cartilage doesn’t regenerate. What you’re managing with treatment is the rate of progression and the level of discomfort, not a cure.
### What causes it?
Arthritis in dogs usually develops for one of three reasons.
**As a primary condition in older dogs.** Just as in people, joints wear over time. The cumulative effect of years of movement, impact, and daily use eventually degrades the cartilage. This is the “wear and tear” arthritis most people think of.
**As a secondary condition following joint disease or injury.** If a dog has had cruciate surgery, hip dysplasia, IVDD, a fracture, or any significant joint injury, arthritis in that joint is a very likely long-term consequence. Emmy’s arthritis is this type: the two surgeries changed the mechanics of her knees permanently, and the arthritis followed.
**As a result of obesity or chronic joint overload.** Joints that have been carrying excess weight for years, or absorbing high-impact forces repeatedly, degrade faster. A dog who has been jumping off beds and car boots for a decade is loading their joints differently from one who hasn’t.
---
## How to Recognise Arthritis in Your Dog
The challenge with arthritis is that dogs don’t tell you they’re in pain. They adapt, compensate, and carry on with remarkable stoicism. By the time something is visibly wrong, the condition is often well advanced.
### Early signs
Stiffness when getting up from rest, particularly in the morning or after a long lie-down, which improves once they’ve been moving for a few minutes. A subtle reluctance to do things they used to enjoy, like jumping into the car, climbing onto the bed, or going up stairs. Slightly slower pace on walks. Occasional licking or attention to a specific joint.
### More pronounced signs
Visible lameness or limping, which may shift between legs. Difficulty rising at all without a struggle. Muscle wasting around affected joints as the dog begins to shift weight away from painful areas. Irritability, particularly if touched around the affected joint. Sleeping more, engaging less.
### What to look for in specific joints
Hips: difficulty with the back end, bunny-hopping gait, reluctance to jump. Elbows/shoulders: front-leg stiffness, holding a leg up after rest. Knees (stifle): stiffness through the hind leg, particularly after the dog has been lying down on a hard surface. Spine: reluctance to bend, difficulty with stairs, neck stiffness.
If you’re seeing any of these in your dog, a vet visit and some X-rays will give you a clear picture.

## Managing Arthritis Well
Emmy’s management plan has evolved over the years, but the core components have remained consistent. Here’s what works.
### Pain management
The most important thing you can do for an arthritic dog is manage their pain properly. Undertreated pain doesn’t just make them uncomfortable: it changes their behaviour, reduces their willingness to exercise (which actually makes arthritis worse), and affects their quality of life profoundly.
NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are the most commonly prescribed first-line treatment for dogs who can safely take them. Work with your vet to find the right medication and dose for your specific dog, and monitor for side effects.
Not every dog can take NSAIDs safely. Dogs with kidney disease, like Emmy, often can’t. Her vet has her on Epleptin (gabapentin) instead, and she’s thriving on it. If NSAIDs aren’t an option for your dog, pain management isn’t off the table, your vet will have alternatives suited to your dog’s specific health picture. On days where Emmy is experiencing more pain than usual, I supplement the Epleptin with half a panado, in line with her Vet’s guidance.
### Pentosan polysulfate sodium (pentosan injections)
This is what Emmy has monthly. Pentosan acts as a disease-modifying agent: it stimulates joint fluid production, supports cartilage health, and has anti-inflammatory effects. It’s not a painkiller, but it makes a real difference to joint function over time. For dogs with moderate to severe arthritis, the monthly injection is often a cornerstone of management.
### Supplements
Omega-3 fatty acids (from fish oil) have good evidence behind them for reducing joint inflammation. Glucosamine and chondroitin are commonly recommended for cartilage support, with variable evidence but minimal downside. In South Africa, vets commonly recommend joint powders like GCS Joint Care or MobiFlex, sprinkled daily over food, which combine glucosamine, chondroitin and other joint-supportive ingredients in one. These work best as long-term, preventive supplements rather than acute treatments.
### Weight management
If your arthritic dog is overweight, getting them to a healthy weight is arguably the single most impactful thing you can do. [Vet-reviewed guidance from the American College of Veterinary Surgeons](https://www.acvs.org/small-animal/osteoarthritis-in-dogs/) confirms weight management is a cornerstone of osteoarthritis treatment, alongside exercise and pain control, and that even modest weight reduction leads to significant improvements in mobility and pain levels in arthritic dogs.
### Exercise: the counter-intuitive advice
Arthritic dogs need to keep moving. Controlled, low-impact, regular exercise maintains muscle mass around the joints, which supports stability and reduces pain. Short walks on flat surfaces, daily, are far better than occasional long bursts of activity. Swimming is excellent.
What you want to avoid is high-impact activity: jumping, running on hard surfaces, sudden direction changes. This is where ramps come in.
---
## Why Ramps Are Particularly Important for Arthritic Dogs
Arthritis is painful enough at rest. Add the impact of repeated jumping to already inflamed, degenerated joints, and you’re dramatically accelerating both the pain and the progression.
A dog with arthritic hips that jumps in and out of a car boot twice a day is loading severely compromised joints with 300 to 500kg of impact force at each landing. Every single day. For years.
A ramp removes this completely. The dog walks down a gentle incline, loading each limb progressively and evenly, with no sudden peak force on any joint.
Beyond the car, ramps help arthritic dogs get on and off beds or couches (where that’s appropriate given their specific condition), reducing the number of high-impact moments in their day. For a dog in pain, this isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s meaningful relief.
### A note on consistency
An arthritic dog still has good days and bad days. On a good day, they may feel confident enough to try to jump. This is exactly when the habit of using a ramp matters most: if the ramp is always there and always in use, the dog doesn’t have the opportunity to make a bad call on a day they’re feeling better than they should be.
---
Emmy still chooses her car ramp every time, for vet visits, for trips to see her ‘granny’, for walks somewhere new. She doesn’t have ramps around the rest of the house anymore. Instead, I’ve put rubber matting down everywhere she walks or likes to lie down, so she’s got proper grip underfoot, and something to push against when she gets up off the floor. It’s made a real difference, not just to stop her slipping, but so getting up isn’t a fight in itself.
Arthritis is part of Emmy’s life, but it doesn’t define it.
With the right management, it doesn’t have to define your dog’s life either.

# 5 Amazing Types of Dog Moms
Being a dog mom is no easy feat. It requires a lot of love, patience, and dedication to care for our furry friends. But some dog moms go above and beyond, truly exemplifying what it means to be an amazing caregiver for their pups. Here are just a few examples of awesome dog moms who are truly deserving of recognition and appreciation:
## The Working Dog Mom
Many dog moms have to balance the responsibilities of work with the needs of their furry companion. But some working dog moms go the extra mile to make sure their pups are well taken care of, even when they are busy at the office. Whether it’s hiring a dog walker or making sure their dog has plenty of toys and stimulation while they are away, these dog moms make sure their pups are never left wanting for attention or care. If you live in the Blouberg area of Cape Town, I can personally and highly recommend [***Pet-i-Ket Animal Behaviour Facility***](https://www.pet-i-ket.co.za/) for an awesome doggie daycare experience. (They also offer boarding, training, dog walking and birthday parties for your fur kids – how awesome is THAT?!)
Working Dog Mom’s## The Rescue Dog Mom
Adopting a rescue dog can be a rewarding experience, but it can also come with its own set of challenges. Some rescue dogs may have suffered from neglect or abuse in the past, and may need extra patience and understanding as they adjust to their new home. Rescue dog moms are special because they are willing to take on these challenges and provide a loving home for a dog in need. If you’re in the market for adopting a rescue, there are SO many organisations out there, but our favourite and the one Dog Mom supports the most is [***The WOW Project***](https://www.facebook.com/wolwerivieroutreachwork), operating out of Melkbos. Another favourite is[ ***LEAPS***](https://www.wix.leaps.co.za/), without whom I wouldn’t have my gorgeous Emmy by my side each day.
Rescue Dogs are just amazing## The Training Dog Mom
Training dogs can be a time-consuming and rewarding hobby, and some dog moms truly excel in this area. These dog moms spend countless hours training their pups in obedience, agility, or other disciplines, and they are dedicated to helping their dogs reach their full potential. Whether they are training for competition or simply for the bond it creates with their dog, these dog moms are truly devoted to their furry friends. If you’re looking for an amazing training club in Cape Town, I can personally recommend ***[Cape Handlers Dog Club](https://capehandlers.co.za/)*** in Milnerton.
Dog Mom Dedication## The Service Dog Mom
Service dogs are specially trained to assist individuals with disabilities, and their moms play a crucial role in their care and training. Whether they are raising a puppy to become a service dog or caring for a retired service dog, these dog moms are dedicated to ensuring their pups are well-trained and able to help those in need.
Service Dogs play a crucial role in assisting people with disabilities## The Senior Dog Mom
No, we’re NOT referring to the age of the Dog MOM here ;-). As our dogs age, they may need extra care and attention to stay healthy and happy. Senior dog moms go above and beyond to make sure their older pups are comfortable, including administering medications, making dietary changes, and providing plenty of love and attention. These dog moms understand that age is just a number, and that their senior pups still have plenty of love to give.
Senior DogOverall, dog moms come in all shapes and sizes, and each one is special in their own way. Whether you are a working dog mom, a rescue dog mom, a training dog mom, a service dog mom, or a senior dog mom, know that you are doing an amazing job and that your furry friend is grateful to have you as their caregiver.

# How to Advocate for the Animals Of South Africa Through Outreach and Rescue Organisations
As animal lovers, we all want to make a difference in the lives of animals in need. In South Africa, there are many animal outreach and rescue organisations that work tirelessly to provide care, shelter, and love to homeless and distressed animals. These organisations rely on the support of individuals and communities to continue their important work. In this blog post, we explore some of the ways you can support animal outreach and rescue organisations in South Africa.
## Donate
This is certainly one of the most straightforward ways to support animal outreach and rescue organisations. Whether it’s a one-time donation or a recurring monthly donation, every little bit helps. Donations can be used to cover the costs of food, veterinary care, and shelter for animals in need. Some organisations also have “sponsor a pet” programmes, where you can sponsor a specific animal and help cover their care costs. Donating blankets, beds food and toys is another way to keep these animals comfortable and warm while they wait for their forever home.
Monetary donations are quick and easy and make such a difference## Volunteer
Another way to support animal outreach and rescue organisations is to volunteer your time. Many organisations need help with tasks such as animal care, dog walking, fundraising, and event planning. Volunteering is a great way to get involved and make a difference in the lives of animals. I volunteer for The WOW Project here in Melkbos, whose founder, Kerry, works tirelessly in the Wolwerivier and Atlantis areas, arranging sterilisation drives, teaching people about proper pet care, distributing tick and flea preventative meds and taking sick or injured animals to various vets in the area who help so much by offering “rescue rates”.
Volunteering at an animal shelter is such a rewarding and heartwarming experience and gives the animals the feeling of being loved## Foster
Fostering involves temporarily caring for an animal in need in your own home. This can be a great way to help an animal transition from a shelter or rescue situation to a permanent home. Fostering can also help socialize animals and prepare them for adoption. Most organisations rely on foster families to provide temporary care for animals, especially during peak holiday seasons. By fostering an animal, you are not only helping to provide a temporary home, but also helping to make space for another animal to be rescued. It’s a great way to make a difference in the life of an impoverished animal while also giving you the opportunity to experience the joys of having a pet without a long-term commitment.
So many dogs and cats are looking for foster homes to show them some love and care and prepare them for their new lives.## Adopt
Adopting an animal from an animal outreach or rescue organization is another way to make a huge difference. By providing a loving home to a needy animal, not only are you showing kindness and compassion, but you’re also creating an opportunity for another animal to be rescued and given a chance at a better life. And, take it from someone who knows…adopting a rescue animal WILL change your life for the better!
There are so many rescued dogs looking for loving homes.## Support Local Businesses
Many local businesses in South Africa support animal outreach and rescue organisations by donating a portion of their profits. By supporting these businesses, you are indirectly supporting the organisations they donate to. With this in mind, Dog Mom will, for the month of February, be donating 100% of our profits from our new Dog Bandanas and our Car Decals to The WOW Project, to help Kerry continue her amazing work.
Zoe and Emmy Wearing their Love has Four Paws Dog Bandanas## Spread the Word
Lastly, spreading awareness about animal outreach and rescue organisations is another way to support their work. Share information about the organisations on social media, tell your friends and family about the work they do, and encourage others to get involved.
Some well-known animal outreach and rescue organisations in South Africa include:
[**The NSPCA (National Council of SPCA)** ](https://nspca.co.za/)[**Animal Anti-Cruelty League** ](https://www.aacl.co.za/)**[Four Paws](https://www.four-paws.org.za "Four Paws")**
Here in Cape Town, where Dog Mom is based, you can also support:
[**The WOW Project** ](https://web.facebook.com/wolwerivieroutreachwork)[LEAPS](https://www.wix.leaps.co.za/ "LEAPS")
**[African Tails](https://africantails.co.za/ "African Tails")[TEARS (The Emma Animal Rescue Society)](https://tears.org.za "TEARS")[D.A.R.G](http://darg.org.za/)[Fallen Angels](https://web.facebook.com/FALLENAngelsZA)**
By supporting animal outreach and rescue organisations in South Africa, we can make a difference in the lives of animals in need. Whether it’s through donations, volunteering, fostering, adopting, supporting local businesses, or spreading awareness, every little bit counts. These organisations work tirelessly to provide care, shelter, and love to animals in need, and they rely on the support of individuals and communities to continue their important work. So, next time you’re looking for a way to make a difference, consider supporting one of these organisations. You’ll be helping to make the world a better place for animals in South Africa and showing your love for animals.
Feel free to tag the rescue organisation YOU support to showcase what they do to help animals in need.
***Don’t forget, if you buy a Dog Bandana or Car Decal from Dog Mom in February, we’ll donate 100% of the proceeds to The WOW Project.***

### [The Quirky World of Dog Moms: A Lighthearted Look](https://dogmom.co.za/the-quirky-world-of-dog-moms/)
**Published:** January 6, 2023
**Author:** Sandra - Dog Mom

As a dog mom, you develop certain habits and quirks that only other dog moms can understand. While these quirks may seem strange to non-dog parents, they are just a normal part of being a dog mom. Here are a few funny dog mom quirks that you may be able to relate to:
## Paparazzi
You have a phone filled with pictures of your dog, and you have to show them off to anyone who will look. Pics of your dog sleeping, pics of your dog eating, and (let’s be honest) pics of your dog’s poo (because, as Dog Moms, we need to know that our fur babies are healthy – and what better way to check than with poo pics? 😉
Mom, seriously, ANOTHER picture of me?!?## Barkday Celebrations
You buy them a “barkday” cake and dress them up in cute birthday outfits to celebrate. If this is you, and you’re in the Cape Town area, I can highly recommend ***[Pupcakes Dog Bakery](https://pupcakesdogbakery.co.za/)*** in West Beach. Here’s Emmy and Zoe celebrating Emmy’s 10th birthday in 2022. Bandanas by ***[All Things Love-a-Lee](https://www.facebook.com/allthingslovealee)***, also in West Beach.
Emmy and Zoe celebrating Emmy’s 10th barkday with her cake from Pupcakes Dog Bakery.## Compulsive Shopping
See a toy, buy a toy – **you just can’t resist buying your dog a new toy or accessory every time you see one*.*** Whether it’s a cozy bed, a flashy leash, or a fun new chew toy, you can’t resist the urge to spoil your furry friend. My boy, Oscar LOVED any kind of squeaky toy and, on any given day, I was stepping on a fake squeaky foot, a plastic hot dog, or a rope toy he’d left lying around.
## Confiding in your canine
**You talk to your dog like you would a person** and expect a response, even though you know it’s not going to happen. Whether you’re asking your dog for their opinion on a new movie or chatting about your day, you can’t help but have full-blown conversations with your furry friend.
## Dog Friendly Holidays Only
You plan your holidays around whether or not your dog can come with you. You don’t want to leave your beloved dog behind, so you make sure to find pet-friendly accommodations or arrange for someone you completely trust (in my case, the dogs’ grandmother :-D) to take care of your dog while you’re away. Here’s a shameless plug: If you want to spoil the Grandpawrent in YOUR life, check out our ***[Dog Mom range for Grandpawrents](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/dog-grandpawrents/)***.
## You have “security cameras”
You have cameras set up throughout the house purely so that you can check on your babies whenever you’re out (or, wait, is that just me?!) My cameras of choice, are the Tapo Link C100 and C200 – great value for money, great quality, and the fact that you can follow your doggies’ every move is epic. You can find these on ***[Takealot ](https://www.takealot.com/tp-link-tapo-c100-c200-combo/PLID70776337)***if you’re ready to spy on the fur children. 😀
## You’re a show-off
You’re always **“showing off” the tricks your dog can do** whenever people come around. When you’re fur baby nails his/her sit, down and paw routine, your smug smile says it all, “Look at my good boy/girl! See what a great job I did training him/her?”
## You’re just a fantastic Dog Mom
You have a special bond with your dog and often feel like they are your child. Your dog is a member of your family, and you love and care for them as if they were your child. You can tell, just from a look, if your dog is feeling a bit off and you fly into “mommy” mode and watch them like a hawk, with the vet on speed dial, just in case. You have dog beds in every room and dog ramps to help your fur kid onto the couch or bed. (If you don’t already have these, you may want to check out our ***[ramp offering for Dogs.](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/for-dogs/dog-ramps/)***)
***Being a dog mom is a special and rewarding experience. These quirks may seem funny to others, but they are just a small part of the love and dedication that you have for your furry friend. So embrace your inner dog mom and all of your quirks – your dog wouldn’t have it any other way!***

# About Dog Mom
## Our Story
Hey there – I’m Sandra and these are my furkids, Emmy and Levi! I started Dog Mom® to fulfill my passion for design, woodworking and, of course DOGS!
After Emmy needed Cruciate Ligament surgery on both of her knees by 2021, I knew I needed a ramp to help her in and out of the car (she does NOT like being picked up and she certainly couldn’t be jumping in and out of the car). I borrowed a plastic store-bought car ramp from a friend but Emmy wasn’t comfortable with the hollow sound and lack of grip. That’s when I decided to build her a ramp myself.
Whenever people saw me using the ramp outside the Vet or the Veterinary Physiotherapists, they approached me wanting a ramp for THEIR dog. That happened so frequently that I pivoted my woodworking business, [Boometime Custom Design](https://boometime.co.za) to focus primarily on helping other dog lovers by building couch ramps, bed ramps, raised dog feeders, dog beds and Bailey Chairs.
Having had a career in Marketing since leaving school, I am passionate about design and creative outlets, which is why I started designing [shirts](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/dog-mom/t-shirts/ "Dog Mom Shirts"), [mugs](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/accessories/drinkware/ "Dog Mom Mugs") and other items for dog lovers like me and, thus … Dog Mom was born.
And now, here you are…finding out more about Dog Mom. I hope you find something you love and, if you don’t, why not drop me a line and ask me about a custom design…I love a challenge.
#### A Few Words About My Inspiration
**2 November 2011** – A day I’ll never forget …. it was the day I found love at first sight. Scrolling through my Facebook Feed, I came across this picture…
I wasn’t thinking about adopting a dog, had never had a dog in my life (despite BEGGING my mom regularly as a kid) and was certainly not expecting to fall in love, make some phone calls, complete adoption papers and pick Oscar up that very same day! 2 November 2011 – the day I became a dog mom and one of the best days of my life! Oscar was the best thing to ever happen to me….and then I adopted Emmy. Oscar, sadly, passed away from cancer in October 2019 at the age of 8 (worst day of my life) and he is sorely missed every single day. But his memory lives on and I can’t thank him enough for allowing me to become a dog mom. In February 2023, Kerry – the amazing founder of The WOW Project rescued Levi, along with 5 of his siblings. Kerry was called out to Atlantis after a female dog had given birth to a litter of 15 pups and 10 had died. Kerry rescued the other 5 and reached out to her network for bottle feeders. Sadly, in the 3 days following their rescue, 3 of the pups succumbed, leaving only Levi and his brother Diesel. From 11 days old, I bottle fed Levi and Diesel and 6 days in, rushed them both to the vet as they weren’t doing well and wouldn’t drink their bottles. That traumatic night, I had to say goodbye to Diesel and wasn’t sure what the outlook was for Little Levi. BUT, this boy is a fighter and he’s been going from strength to strength. Read more about Levi’s story and my foster fail on the Dog Mom Blog,[ https://dogmom.co.za/living-with-levi-the-beginning/](https://dogmom.co.za/living-with-levi-the-beginning/)

# REFUND POLICY
Last updated: 2026-08-17
Hello and welcome to Dog Mom! I’m Sandra, the heart and soul behind the Dog Mom brand. My commitment to providing you with superior customer service is at the core of everything I do. I understand the importance of your satisfaction and am dedicated to ensuring that each of your experiences with Dog Mom is a delightful one.
I make two quite different kinds of thing, so this page is split accordingly. Clothing and accessories are made to order. Ramps are handmade by me here in South Africa. Returns work differently for each, and the last section applies to both.
## Clothing and accessories
### Understanding Print on Demand
As a solopreneur running a print-on-demand business, each item you order is uniquely made just for you. This process offers great customisation and uniqueness but also means that returned items, especially due to sizing issues, often cannot be resold. I kindly ask for your understanding, as this is a crucial part of maintaining a sustainable, quality-focused business.
### Refund Eligibility
You can request refunds within 14 days of the original purchase.
Items must be returned in their original, unworn/unused condition and original packaging.
### Addressing Sizing Issues
Finding the right fit online can be tricky, and because each item is made for you once you order, I’d far rather help you get it right up front. Please use the detailed sizing charts, and don’t hesitate to reach out to me for personalised guidance before you order.
If you’ve already ordered and the fit isn’t right, get in touch and I’ll do what I can to help.
### Handling Faulty or Incorrect Items
If you receive an item that’s faulty or not as described, rest assured that I will take care of it. In these cases, I will cover the return shipping cost and ensure you get a replacement or a refund, based on what you prefer.
## Dog ramps
Every ramp is built by hand, by me, here in South Africa. They’re heavy, oversized items, so returns work a little differently to the rest of the range.
### In the unlikely event that your ramp is faulty
I build every ramp myself, put it together myself, and pack every one myself before it goes out, so nothing leaves here that I haven’t gone over first. But if a ramp does fail within six months of delivery through a fault in the materials or my workmanship, you choose whether you’d like it repaired, replaced or refunded, and I’ll cover the cost of collecting it. Just send me photos and your order number. That covers things like a hinge or joint failing in normal use, structural cracking, or a leg that won’t hold its setting.
### What isn’t a fault
These ramps are made from real timber and stained by hand, so no two are identical. Colour, grain and knot variation between ramps, and between panels on the same ramp, is part of what handmade means rather than a defect. The same goes for gradual wear of the traction surface over time, and for scuffs, dents and marks from normal use or from transport in a vehicle.
Timber is an organic material which expands and contracts with the weather, so there is a chance that a screw can work loose over time. That’s normal wear and tear. Your ramp won’t arrive with a loose screw, and if it ever did I’d want to hear about it straight away. The care guide that comes with your ramp asks you to check the screws now and then, and if one has worked loose it’s an easy fix: pop a matchstick or a toothpick into the hole, break it off flush, and screw the screw back in with a drop of super glue. Message me if you’d rather I talk you through it.
On the ramps that take barrier rails, the rails are there to guide your dog and discourage them from jumping off, as your assembly card explains. They aren’t built to take hard knocks or heavy pressure, so damage to a rail from impact or weight isn’t covered.
**Please don’t leave your ramp outside.** Using a ramp outdoors is absolutely fine, into a boot, over a step, wherever your dog needs it. It just needs to come back indoors or under cover afterwards. Timber and weather don’t get along over time, and damage from a ramp that has been left out isn’t something I can cover.
I also can’t cover damage from misuse, including use above the stated weight limit, or any ramp that has been cut, drilled, re-stained, re-covered or otherwise modified.
### If your dog is unsure about the ramp at first
Every dog is different. Some take a few hours to get the hang of a ramp, others need a few weeks of patient introduction, and in my experience nearly all of them get there. It usually comes down to the patience of the human more than the willingness of the dog. Every ramp ships with a QR code linking to my **[free training guide](https://dogmom.co.za/train_your_dog_to_use_a_ramp/)**, so please start there. If you’ve worked through it and your dog still isn’t taking to it, get in touch and tell me what you’re seeing, ideally with a photo or a short video. It’s very often placement or surface rather than the ramp itself, and I’d far rather help you get it working. If we really can’t get there, talk to me and we’ll work something out between us.
### If you need to return a ramp that isn’t faulty
Ramps are handmade to order and they’re big, heavy things to ship, so a ramp coming back carries real costs: the courier out to you, the packaging, the payment processing fee, and whatever it takes to get it ready to sell to someone else. If you do need to send one back, please talk to me first. A restocking fee of up to 20% of the purchase price covers those costs and may be deducted from the refund, and the return transport is for your account. I look at every one of these individually, so just ask.
### Getting a ramp back to me
Please don’t book your own courier. Most standard services won’t handle a ramp properly, and a ramp that arrives damaged can’t be refunded in full. Give me your order number and I’ll arrange a courier that does handle them, and talk you through how to pack it.
## For everything
### Process for Returns
For returns, please contact me directly with your order details before sending anything back. I’m here to assist you every step of the way.
**Note:** For refund requests on non-faulty items, such as a change of mind or non-fitting items, return shipping costs will be your responsibility.
### Refund Process
Refunds are processed back to the original payment method.
I aim to handle refunds promptly, but kindly allow some time for the transaction.
### My Promise to You
Your satisfaction is my utmost priority. If there are any concerns or special circumstances, please feel free to contact me directly. I value your business and appreciate your understanding as we navigate the unique challenges of a print-on-demand service together.

### [Dog Ramp Angle Calculator](https://dogmom.co.za/ramp-angle-calculator/)
**Published:** December 24, 2025

## Ramp Angle Calculator for Dogs
### Find the most suitable Dog Mom Ramp for your vehicle and your dog.
This dog ramp angle calculator helps you compare incline angles for different ramp lengths based on the height of your vehicle’s back bumper. Use the Ramp Angle Calculator below to see the approximate incline angle you would get with each Dog Mom vehicle ramp. Simply measure the height of your back bumper in centimetres, enter it below, and compare the angles for each ramp length. Once you’ve calculated your angle, use the guide below to understand what’s generally comfortable for most dogs.
### Vehicle Dog Ramp Angle Calculator
Enter the height of your back bumper (cm):
Calculate
### Recommended Dog Ramp Angles for Comfort and Safety
Dog type / situation Ideal angle range Comfortable angle range Caution advised above Dogs with joint or mobility concerns
(e.g. arthritis, IVDD, previous CCL surgery) 0° – 12° 12° – 18° Over 20° Senior dogs 10° – 15° 15° – 20° Over 22° Large and giant breed dogs 10° – 15° 15° – 22° Over 25° Adult dogs (generally healthy) 15° – 20° 20° – 22° Over 25° Young, healthy dogs 15° – 20° 20° – 22° Over 25°
This calculator is designed as a **practical guide** to help you compare ramp inclines. The angles shown are **approximate** and based on the height measurements you enter and the ramp lengths used. Every dog is different, and comfort levels can vary depending on confidence, age, health, and previous injuries.
If your dog has a medical condition or is recovering from surgery, always follow the guidance of your vet or veterinary physiotherapist.
These ranges are intended as **general comfort guidelines**. While some dogs may manage steeper inclines, angles above **25°** are generally considered steep and may increase joint strain, particularly with regular use or when long-term joint health is a priority.
### How to interpret dog ramp angles
The angles shown above estimate how steep each ramp would be for your vehicle height. As a general guide:
- **Lower angles** feel gentler and more confident for most dogs
- **Longer ramps** reduce the incline for the same height
- **Steeper angles** may be manageable for young, agile dogs but can feel challenging for others
Many dog parents choose a longer ramp not because their dog “can’t” use a shorter one, but because a gentler incline puts less strain on joints over time
### Dogs who often benefit from gentler angles
- Older dogs
- Large or giant breeds
- Dogs recovering from surgery or injury
- Dogs with joint, spine, or mobility concerns
- Dogs who feel unsure or hesitant on steeper ramps
If you’re unsure, choosing the gentlest practical incline for your setup is usually the safest option.
### Choosing the right Dog Mom ramp for your setup
The calculator compares all Dog Mom vehicle ramps using the **same bumper height**, so you can clearly see how ramp length affects the incline.
When choosing your ramp, consider **all three factors together**:
### 1. Incline angle
The gentlest option will always be the ramp that produces the **lowest angle** for your vehicle height.
### 2. Ramp weight
Dog Mom vehicle ramps are solid, handcrafted ramps designed for stability. Weight can affect how easy the ramp is to lift, carry, and position.
- Folding Dog Car Ramp: approx **7 kg**
- XL Folding Dog Ramp: approx **10 kg**
- Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp: approx **12kg**
Make sure you’re comfortable handling the ramp weight, especially if you’ll be lifting it in and out of your car regularly.
### 3. Folded size and vehicle fit
All Dog Mom vehicle ramps fold in half for easier handling, storage, and transport. When folded, the ramps can be stored in a variety of positions depending on your vehicle, including the boot, back seat area, or behind the front seats.
**Folded ramp sizes:**
- **Folding Dog Car Ramp:** folds to **80 cm**
- **XL Folding Dog Ramp:** folds to **95 cm**
- **Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp:** folds to **105 cm**
When choosing your ramp, consider:
- Where you plan to store the ramp while travelling
- Whether you are comfortable lifting and positioning the ramp when folded
- How easily the ramp can be secured to prevent movement during transport
**A note on real-world conditions**
The angles shown are based on the height you enter and the ramp length. In real use, the effective incline can vary slightly depending on factors such as the slope of the ground, whether your vehicle is facing uphill or downhill, and how the ramp is positioned.
For this reason, choosing a gentler incline where possible allows more flexibility across different parking conditions.
## Indoor Dog Ramp Angle Calculator (Couch & Bed Ramps)
Enter the height of your couch or bed in centimetres. This tool recommends the most suitable fixed height setting for each ramp and shows the corresponding incline angle.
**Enter the height of your couch or bed (cm):**
Calculate Ramp Recommended setting Angle (degrees) Couch Ramp (105 cm) – – Bed Ramp (163 cm) – –
How to use the Indoor Dog Ramp Angle Calculator
Measure the height of your couch or bed from the floor to the top surface where your dog steps on. Enter that height into the calculator above.
The calculator recommends the most suitable fixed height setting for each Dog Mom indoor ramp and shows the corresponding incline angle. In some cases, two options may be shown. This is intentional and reflects real-world use.
Where two options are shown:
- The **lower setting** offers a gentler incline but may involve a small step up at the top.
- The **higher setting** removes the step but results in a slightly steeper angle.
Use this information together with your understanding of your dog’s size, confidence, and mobility to decide which option feels most appropriate.
## About step-up height and dog comfort
A small step up at the top of a ramp is often manageable for many dogs, particularly medium and large breeds that are confident and mobile.
As a general guide:
- Step-ups of **up to approximately 5 cm** are usually manageable for most dogs.
- Larger step-ups may be more challenging for small breeds, senior dogs, or dogs with back, joint, or mobility concerns.
For this reason, the calculator limits step-up recommendations and may hide gentler options where the step up would exceed this range.
## Choosing between a couch ramp and a bed ramp
Couch ramps and bed ramps are designed for different height ranges and use cases.
- **Couch ramps** are best suited to lower furniture heights and everyday use.
- **Bed ramps** are longer, provide gentler inclines, and are more suitable for higher beds or for dogs that benefit from reduced joint strain.
While some dogs may be physically capable of managing steeper ramps or small steps, many dog parents choose a longer ramp to reduce impact on joints over time, even if their dog appears confident.
## Why gentler angles matter indoors too
Jumping down from beds and couches creates repeated impact on a dog’s joints and spine. Using a ramp with a gentler incline can help reduce long-term strain, particularly for:
- Senior dogs
- Large or giant breeds
- Dogs recovering from surgery or injury
- Dogs with joint, spine, or mobility concerns
- Dogs that appear hesitant or uncomfortable with jumping
When in doubt, choosing the gentlest practical option for your space and your dog is usually the safest approach.
## Ramp Angle Calculator FAQs
What ramp angle is comfortable for most dogs?
For most dogs, **gentler angles are more comfortable and confidence-building**, especially when ramps are used regularly. As a general guide, angles under about **20–25 degrees** tend to feel easier for most dogs, while steeper angles can place more strain on joints, particularly when walking down the ramp.
Every dog is different, so comfort also depends on size, age, confidence, and any existing injuries.
Why does ramp length matter?
Ramp length directly affects the incline. For the same height:
- **Longer ramps create gentler angles**
- **Shorter ramps create steeper angles**
This is why many dog parents choose a longer ramp even if their dog is physically capable of using a shorter one. Gentler inclines reduce joint impact over time and often feel more secure for dogs.
Are gentler angles always better?
In most cases, yes. Gentler angles reduce impact on joints and the spine, particularly when dogs are walking down the ramp.
Some young, confident dogs may manage steeper ramps without hesitation, but for long-term joint health, senior dogs, large breeds, or dogs recovering from injury, a gentler incline is usually the safer choice.
Do ramp angles change depending on surface or slope?
Yes. The angles shown by the calculator are based on height and ramp length only.
In real-world use, the effective incline can change slightly depending on:
- whether your car is parked uphill or downhill
- uneven ground
- how the ramp is positioned or secured
Choosing a gentler ramp where possible allows more flexibility across different conditions.
How do I measure my car’s bumper height correctly?
Measure from the ground to the point where the ramp will rest on your vehicle, usually the back bumper or boot edge. Measure while the car is parked on level ground for the most accurate result.
Enter this measurement in centimetres into the Vehicle Dog Ramp Angle Calculator.
Why does the vehicle ramp calculator show different angles for different ramps?
Each Dog Mom vehicle ramp has a different length. When you enter your bumper height, the calculator shows the angle each ramp would create at that height.
This allows you to clearly compare how ramp length affects incline and choose the ramp that provides the gentlest practical angle for your vehicle and dog.
Why does the indoor ramp calculator sometimes show two options?
Some couch or bed heights fall between two fixed height settings on the bed ramp.
When this happens, the calculator may show:
- a **lower setting** with a gentler incline but a small step up at the top, and
- a **higher setting** with no step up but a slightly steeper angle
This reflects real-world use and allows you to choose the option that best suits your dog.
What does “step up ~5 cm” mean?
A “step up” refers to the small height difference between the top of the ramp and the furniture surface.
Step-ups of **up to approximately 5 cm** are often manageable for many dogs, particularly medium and large breeds that are confident and mobile. Larger step-ups may be more challenging for small dogs, senior dogs, or dogs with joint or spinal concerns.
For this reason, the calculator limits step-up recommendations.
Can I use a couch ramp for a bed?
Couch ramps are designed for lower furniture heights and are generally best suited to sofas or low beds.
For higher beds, a **bed ramp** is usually the better option, as it is longer and provides a gentler incline. While some dogs may physically manage a couch ramp in certain situations, bed ramps are designed to reduce joint strain for higher access points
What if my bed is higher than 75–80 cm?
Most beds fall below this height, but mattress thickness and bases can add unexpected height.
The calculator allows a small step-up above the highest bed ramp setting where appropriate. If your bed is significantly higher than this range, a custom solution or alternative setup may be needed.
My dog is nervous on ramps. What should I choose?
For nervous or hesitant dogs, choosing a **gentler angle** and a **longer ramp** often helps build confidence.
Training, patience, and positive reinforcement also make a big difference. Many dogs become more comfortable with ramps over time when the incline feels manageable and secure
Should I ask my vet or veterinary physiotherapist for advice?
If your dog has a medical condition, mobility issue, or is recovering from surgery, it’s always a good idea to follow the guidance of your vet or veterinary physiotherapist.
This calculator is designed as a practical guide to help compare ramp options, but professional advice should always take priority for individual medical needs.

## The WOW Project
There are SO many wonderful animal rescue organisations and charities in South Africa that it would take me forever to list them all. I’ve supported numerous rescue organisations in the past (and will continue to do so), but I’ve chosen to make The WOW Project the main beneficiary of my support. I’m proud to help their founder, Kerry Kleinhans, in her mission of “Making a Difference, One Animal at a Time.”
**R25 from every [Rescue Range T-Shirt](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/rescue-range/) and R50 from every [Rescue Range Hoodie](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/rescue-range/) sold is donated to The WOW Project** to support the incredible work they do in rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming. So when you wear a Rescue Shirt, you’re not just celebrating rescue dogs. You’re helping change lives.
I met Kerry, one fateful day, at Hakuna Matata Vet, when owner, Dr Kiki Schneider, introduced me to her as someone who could help her with printing t-shirts, etc. Now, I won’t lie, I’m a complete emotional wreck when I see distressed animals and the images that flow through from rescue pages. I become a blithering idiot and don’t want to see the cruelty. And I told Kerry as much (this was before I launched Dog Mom, but I had started dabbling with printing t-shirts, mugs, tumblers and other items). Her words to me were, “Chines, we all help in different ways and that’s ok! Every little bit helps.”
Since that day, I set out to help Kerry and The WOW Project in whatever way I could without having to deal with the sad parts myself. From assisting at adoption days, to printing the t-shirts and hoodies for the volunteers and designing posters and promotional materials. Whenever Kerry popped by to collect donated items, t-shirts, etc, she’d inevitably have abandoned puppies or sick or injured dogs that she was taking to the vet in her van.
There have been days when I would take coffee or water out to her as she sat on the grass with a sick puppy, crying because of all the pain and suffering she had seen that day. She is incredible, and she has the biggest heart and bravest soul of anyone I know. She is out in the impoverished communities daily, with no thought for her own safety, focused on educating people on how to care for their animals, arranging sterilisations, feeding and administering tick and flea treatments to the animals in need.
She is also the one who rescued my boy, Levi, from certain death. You can read our story on the blog here: [Life with Levi](https://dogmom.co.za/category/live-with-levi/), and what a story it is.

Enter your email below and we’ll send you a thank-you and a 10% off coupon once you donate R50 or more to The WOW Project.
Just to put it in perspective:

Are your Mugs, Sports Bottles and Tumblers dishwasher safe?
Yes, our ceramic mugs are dishwasher safe. However, it is normal for the print to fade over time (don’t worry, this takes a LOT of time.) To preserve the image, we recommend only using the top drawer of the dishwasher and keeping your mugs as far away from the heating element as possible.
While our mugs withstand dishwasher use well, our tumblers and sports bottles might not fare as well. The tumblers can technically be washed in a dishwasher, but they are more susceptible to the abrasive chemicals and high heat, which could potentially damage the designs. To maintain their appearance and integrity, we advise handwashing these tumblers instead of using the dishwasher.
How long does it take for my order to ship?
Orders ship between 3 – 5 days after receiving payment. As soon as we receive your order, we order the item from our suppliers. In the case of t-shirts and hoodies, we do not keep stock due to the wide variety of colors and sizes available on the Dog Mom Shop. As soon as we receive the item from the supplier, we print, where necessary and ship. The courier usually takes 2-3 days for main centres, so you can expect delivery of your order within 5-8 working days from the day you place your order.

## Mother's Day Day Gift Ideas for Outdoorsy Dog Moms
Dog Moms who love spending time outdoors with their fur-kids deserve all the love and appreciation in the world. They are the ones who wake up early to take their dogs for a walk, hike through the woods with them, and explore new trails together. They know that spending time in nature is not only good for their own well-being but also for their dog’s physical and mental health. They are the ones who share an unbreakable bond with their four-legged best friends and always prioritize their dogs’ needs above their own. This Mother’s Day, spoil the Outdoorsy Dog Mom with all the love and gratitude something she’ll love.

## Mother's Day Day Gift Ideas for Working Dog Moms
If you know a Dog Mom who brings her love for her dogs to the office (her desk probably has more dog photos on it than actual work documents), this is the section for you. My Working Dog Mom collection is full of personalised and dog-themed desk accessories, notebooks, mousepads and tumblers that keep her fur-kids close, even when she’s stuck in back-to-back meetings. Whether you’re shopping for a colleague, a sister, or a friend who counts down the hours until she’s home with her dogs, there’s something here she’ll genuinely love and use every day.

Here’s what veterinary physiotherapy actually is, how it differs from animal rehabilitation, and why it’s worth knowing about long before you need it.

HANDCRAFTED IN SOUTH AFRICA
# DOG RAMPS THAT HELP PROTECT THEIR JOINTS
Dog Mom ramps are handcrafted in South Africa for safer access to cars, SUVs, bakkies, beds and couches. Each design combines a sturdy build, a high-traction rubber surface and a carefully considered incline for dogs of all sizes.
[ FIND THE RIGHT RAMP ](#choose)
## Emmy taught me what a ramp actually prevents.
This is Emmy. She has had two cruciate surgeries, wears a brace on her front right paw, and lives with arthritis. I wish I had understood the effect of all that repeated jumping much earlier.
Every jump down from the car, couch or bed sent repeated impact through her front legs, joints and spine. Over and over again.
The first ramp I built was for her. Not to sell. Just so she did not have to jump anymore. Other dog parents began noticing Emmy’s ramp and asking if I could build one for their dogs too. Since then, I have built more than 100 ramps, each designed to help another much-loved dog move more safely and comfortably.
## What makes a Dog Mom ramp different?
###### HANDCRAFTED IN SOUTH AFRICA
Every Dog Mom ramp is individually built and carefully finished for strength, stability and everyday use.
###### High-Traction Rubber Surface
Not carpet. Not thin sandpaper. Proper rubber tread that gives paws real grip; especially important when coming down, when the concussive impact is highest.
###### Custom steel fittings
The hinges and fixtures are custom-built steel, powder-coated for durability. Nothing wobbly. Nothing that shifts under a heavy dog.
###### Longer than the competition
A longer ramp means a gentler angle. A gentler angle means less strain on your dog’s joints on every single use. Dog Mom ramps are deliberately built long.
###### Built for bigger dogs
Most ramps aren’t designed for large breeds. Dog Mom ramps carry dogs up to 100kg on select models. If you have a Boerboel, a Ridgeback, or a German Shepherd, this is made for them.
###### The angle is the science
A gentler incline helps your dog move up and down in a more controlled way, with less landing impact than jumping.
> As a Veterinary Rehabilitation Practitioner, I highly recommend these ramps for any pet with orthopedic or spinal issues. The durable design, combined with excellent traction from the rubber surface, ensures my dogs can move up and down safely without slipping.
>
> — Lorren Barham, Veterinary Rehabilitation Practitioner & Verified purchaser
> Dog Mom is definitely my first call when it comes to recommendations for my clients. Sandra’s attention to detail and understanding of the value of a strong and low gradient ramp makes her ramps superior in the market. Your pet deserves perfect quality and Dog Mom is undoubtedly able to deliver.
>
> Kirsten Straszacker, Owner of Startline Veterinary Physiotherapy
## THE RIGHT RAMP FOR YOUR DOG'S WORLD
Choose where your dog needs safer access. If you are comparing vehicle ramps, measure your bumper height first and use the calculator to find the gentlest practical incline.
[](https://dogmom.co.za/product/folding-car-ramp/)### [FOLDING CAR RAMP - R2,999](https://dogmom.co.za/product/folding-car-ramp/)
For medium dogs and hatchbacks. Compact fold, sturdy handles and high-traction rubber grip.
[](https://dogmom.co.za/product/xl-folding-dog-ramp/)### [XL FOLDING DOG RAMP - R3,299](https://dogmom.co.za/product/xl-folding-dog-ramp/)
For SUVs and bakkies. Built longer than standard ramps for a gentler, safer angle.
[](https://dogmom.co.za/product/giant-breed-folding-dog-ramp/)### [GIANT BREED FOLDING RAMP - R3,999](https://dogmom.co.za/product/giant-breed-folding-dog-ramp/)
Extra long and sturdy for Boerboels, Great Danes and other very large dogs. Rated up to 100kg.
[](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-bed-ramp/)### [ADJUSTABLE BED RAMP - R3,499](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-bed-ramp/)
Five adjustable height settings up to 75cm to fit your bed properly, because the angle matters as much as the ramp itself.
[](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-couch-ramp/)### [ADJUSTABLE COUCH RAMP - R2,450](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-couch-ramp/)
For everyday couch access, with three height settings for couches approximately 35 to 45 cm high.
[ SHOP ALL RAMPS ](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/for-dogs/dog-ramps/)
## NOT SURE WHICH RAMP LENGTH YOU NEED?
Measure the height of your bumper, bed or couch and use the Dog Mom Ramp Angle Calculator to compare the incline before you choose. A longer ramp creates a gentler angle, which can be especially important for senior dogs, larger dogs and dogs with mobility concerns.

## DOG PARENTS NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE
This Folding Car Ramp was a lifesaver after my ageing spaniel had major surgery. It is beautifully made, sturdy and stable.
Debbie - Verified Owner

This is the second ramp I have bought from Dog Mom, and I am blown away at the quality and strength of these ramps.
Janet - Verified Owner
Adjustable Bed Ramp review
Really well designed and put together, very steady, good grip for the paws, light and easy to handle.
Gosia - Verified Owner
XL Folding Dog Ramp review
The extra long ramps works great for a 36kg Labrador getting in and out of a Landy after his cruciate surgery.
Rowan - Verified Owner
XL Folding Dog Ramp review
This ramp is solid, beautifully crafted, and clearly made with care. The rubber surface offers excellent grip with no slipping. I love that the height is adjustable. My dogs use it comfortably, and my cat loves it even more. Highly recommend!
Michel - Verified Owner
Adjustable Bed Ramp review
Amazing product! The craftsmanship is excellent! We have a pitbull and the ramp is more than sturdy enough to support her.
Marile - Verified Owner
Adjustable Couch Ramp review
## BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Which vehicle ramp should I choose for my car, SUV or bakkie?
Start by measuring the height from the ground to the point where the ramp will rest on your vehicle. Then use the **[Dog Mom Ramp Angle Calculator](https://dogmom.co.za/ramp-angle-calculator/)** to compare the incline created by each ramp length. The [Folding Dog Car Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/folding-car-ramp/) suits many lower vehicles, while the longer [XL Folding Dog Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/xl-folding-dog-ramp/) and [Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramps](https://dogmom.co.za/product/giant-breed-folding-dog-ramp/) can create a gentler incline for higher SUVs and bakkies. Your dog’s size, mobility and confidence on an incline should also guide your choice.
Is a ramp only for an older or injured dog?
No. A ramp can be useful long before a dog shows signs of discomfort. Repeated jumping down from cars, beds and couches creates impact through the front legs, joints and spine. Introducing a ramp while your dog is young and confident can reduce that repeated impact and make the ramp familiar. If your dog has an injury or medical condition, ask your veterinarian or veterinary physiotherapist what incline and activity level are appropriate.
What makes the rubber surface a good choice?
The high-traction rubber surface gives paws a more confident grip when walking up and down. It is soft on paws, does not trap as much hair and dirt as carpet, and is easy to wipe clean after muddy outings.
Why does the incline matter so much?
A ramp that is too short for the height it needs to reach can become steep and difficult to use. A longer ramp creates a gentler incline, helping your dog move in a more controlled way. The most suitable angle depends on your dog’s size, age, confidence and mobility. [Check your setup with the Ramp Angle Calculator.](https://dogmom.co.za/ramp-angle-calculator/)
Will my dog know how to use a ramp?
Some dogs walk straight onto a ramp, while others need time. Begin with the ramp flat on the ground. Use treats, praise and short sessions to encourage your dog to walk across it without pressure. Increase the incline gradually only once your dog is relaxed. Never pull or force your dog onto the ramp. Check out our **Ramp Training Guide** for tips and tricks.
Is a ramp better than dog steps?
A ramp provides one continuous incline and can reduce the repeated stepping and landing impact created by steps. This can make a ramp a better choice for senior dogs, puppies, larger dogs, dogs with short legs, and dogs with joint or spinal concerns. [Read the dog ramps versus dog steps guide.](https://dogmom.co.za/dog-ramps-vs-dog-steps/)
Which ramp should I choose for a bed or couch?
Measure the height of the furniture first. The [Adjustable Couch Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-couch-ramp/) has three settings for couches approximately 35 to 45 cm high. The [Adjustable Bed Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-bed-ramp/) is longer and has five settings for beds approximately 45 to 75 cm high. Always choose the lowest comfortable incline that works in your available space.
Are Dog Mom ramps suitable for large and giant breeds?
Yes. The [XL Folding Dog Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/xl-folding-dog-ramp/) is tested up to 70 kg, the [Adjustable Bed Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/adjustable-bed-ramp/) up to 75 kg, and the [Giant Breed Folding Dog Ramp](https://dogmom.co.za/product/giant-breed-folding-dog-ramp/) up to 100 kg. Always check the individual product specifications and choose a ramp that suits both your dog and the height it needs to reach.
How do I clean and care for the ramp?
- Wipe the rubber surface with a damp cloth to remove dust, hair, or mud.
- Check the fittings and screws regularly.
- Store the ramp in a dry place.
- Follow the care instructions supplied with your ramp.
Can a ramp replace veterinary advice after an injury or operation?
No. A ramp can provide a more controlled alternative to jumping, but your veterinarian or veterinary physiotherapist should guide your dog’s recovery, activity and appropriate incline. The **[Ramp Angle Calculator](https://dogmom.co.za/ramp-angle-calculator/)** provides general guidance and does not replace professional advice.
## PROTECT THEIR JOINTS BEFORE JUMPING BECOMES A PROBLEM
Choose a handcrafted ramp for your car, couch or bed, or check the incline first if you are unsure. The right ramp gives your dog a more controlled way to move up and down every day.

### Ideal for Larger Dogs and Higher Vehicles
The XL Folding Dog Ramp is specifically designed for larger, heavier dogs using higher vehicles like SUVs and bakkies. The longer 1.9m length reduces the steepness of the incline, making it easier and safer for bigger dogs to move comfortably without placing unnecessary strain on their joints.

- **Durable & Stable** – Rubber grip where the ramp meets the road adds stability and protects the ramp from damage
- **Foam Car Protector** – Helps prevent scratches while adding grip and stability where the ramp meets your vehicle
- **Flexible Usage** – Best used at the boot/bumper, but can be tested for other positions depending on your vehicle
#### **Dimensions & Weight:**

- **Weight** – approx **10kg**, adding sturdiness and strength, but easy to handle with ergonomic design.
### Why a Longer Ramp Matters
Many Veterinary Physiotherapists recommend reducing the repeated impact of jumping, particularly for larger dogs and dogs using higher vehicles. A longer ramp creates a lower incline, which reduces the concussive forces on joints, especially when your dog is coming down from the vehicle. This makes a significant difference in preventing long-term joint strain and injury.
#### **Disclaimer:**
Use of the **Dog Mom XL Folding Dog Ramp** is at your own risk. We recommend thoroughly testing the ramp’s setup with your vehicle and ensuring it is securely positioned before use. Dog Mom will not be held liable for any injuries or damages resulting from improper use or setup of the ramp.
### RECOMMENDED BY THE PROFESSIONALS
***Dog Mom is definitely my first call** when it comes to recommendations for my clients. As a veterinary physiotherapist, I often deal with patients who range from mild to severe physical compromise and no matter the degree, we always recommend making the efforts of jumping on and off high surfaces easier on their bodies. Sandra’s attention to detail and understanding of the value of a strong and low gradient ramp makes her ramps superior in the market. Your pet deserves perfect quality and Dog Mom is undoubtedly able to deliver. – **Kirsten Straszacker – Owner of Startline Veterinary Physiotherapy***
***As a Veterinary Rehabilitation Practitioner**, I highly recommend these ramps for any pet with orthopedic or spinal issues.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Who is this ramp best suited for?**The XL ramp is best suited for dogs of any size who need to get in and out of higher vehicles such as SUVs and bakkies. Its longer length helps create a gentler incline, which is especially important when vehicle height is greater. The ramp is also ideal for large and heavy breeds, older dogs, dogs recovering from surgery or injury, and dog parents who want to protect their dog’s joints before problems develop. If your vehicle is on the higher side, the XL ramp is often the safest and most comfortable option, even for smaller dogs.
**What vehicles is the XL ramp suitable for?**The XL ramp is designed for higher vehicles such as SUVs and bakkies, as well as for dogs who benefit from a gentler incline. Its longer length helps reduce the angle when in use, which is especially helpful for taller vehicles. It can also be used with normal cars if you prefer a longer ramp for extra confidence and joint protection. If a ramp feels too steep for your dog at a certain height, choosing a longer ramp is often the safest option.
**Is this one of the longest dog ramps available in South Africa?**The XL ramp is one of the longest locally available, handcrafted dog ramps in South Africa. Its longer length is designed to create a gentler incline for higher vehicles, which is especially important for joint protection. While longer ramps do exist internationally, they are often imported at a significantly higher cost. This ramp is designed and built locally to offer a practical, long-length option without the expense and delays of importing.
**What are the ramp’s dimensions when open and when folded?**Open length: 190 cm. Folded length: 95 cm. Width: 40 cm. You can also check the “Additional information” tab for the full spec table.
**Does the ramp work for large breeds?**Yes. The XL ramp is designed with large breeds in mind, including a wider walking surface for comfort and confident footing. If you’re unsure which ramp is best for your dog and vehicle, you’re welcome to contact us for advice.
**Is the surface non-slip?**Yes. The XL ramp has a high-grip rubber walking surface to help dogs feel secure and reduce slipping. The rubber surface is also easy to wipe clean.
**Can this ramp be used at a car door or back seat?**While the ramp can sometimes be used at a car door, this depends on how wide the door opens and how stable the contact point is. Many car doors do not open far enough to comfortably fit a ramp, and placing a ramp on a seat is often unstable. For this reason, we generally recommend using the ramp at the boot, bumper, or back of a bakkie, where it can rest more securely and provide better stability for your dog. As vehicle shapes and heights vary, it’s always a good idea to test what feels safest and most comfortable for your dog.
**How does a longer ramp help protect a dog’s joints?**A longer ramp creates a gentler incline, which reduces the impact and jarring forces placed on a dog’s joints when getting in and out of a vehicle. Steeper ramps or jumping down can place strain on the shoulders, elbows, hips, and spine. By spreading the height over a longer distance, a longer ramp allows dogs to move more naturally and comfortably, helping to protect joints over time, especially for large breeds, senior dogs, and dogs recovering from injury.
**Do I need to train my dog to use the ramp?**Start with the ramp flat on the ground and use treats and praise to build confidence. Once your dog is comfortable, gradually introduce the ramp to the vehicle at a low angle. For a full step-by-step guide, see our Ramp Training and Safety Guide.
**How do I look after the rubber surface and keep it clean?**Simply wipe the rubber surface with a damp cloth. It’s more hygienic than carpet-style surfaces because it doesn’t trap dirt and hair as easily.

## Frequently Asked Questions
**Who is this car ramp best suited for?**This car ramp is best suited for dogs of all sizes who regularly need to get in and out of standard-height cars. It’s ideal for senior dogs, dogs recovering from surgery or injury, dogs with joint issues, and proactive pet parents who want to reduce joint strain from repeated jumping. It’s also a great option for medium to large dogs using normal passenger vehicles.
**What vehicles is the car ramp suitable for?**This ramp is designed for standard-height cars such as hatchbacks, wagons, and normal passenger vehicles. It works best when used at the boot or rear bumper of the vehicle. For higher vehicles like SUVs, bakkies, or vehicles with raised suspension, we recommend the XL Folding Dog Ramp for a gentler incline.
**What are the ramp’s dimensions when open and when folded?**When open, the car ramp measures 160cm in length, providing a comfortable incline for most standard vehicles. When folded, it measures 80cm, making it compact enough to store in a boot, on a back seat, or behind the front seats.
**Does this ramp work for large dog breeds?**Yes, this ramp is suitable for large dog breeds **when used with standard-height vehicles**. However, older dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, or dogs with existing joint or orthopaedic issues may benefit from a **longer ramp** that provides a gentler angle. In those cases, the XL ramp is often the better choice, even if the vehicle itself is not particularly high.
**Is the surface non-slip?**Yes. The ramp features a high-grip rubber surface designed to provide secure footing and confidence for dogs as they walk up or down. This is especially helpful for senior dogs, dogs with mobility issues, or dogs who may be nervous about ramps.
**Can this ramp be used at a car door or back seat?**While the ramp can sometimes be used at a side door, we strongly recommend using it at the boot or rear bumper whenever possible. Car doors don’t always open wide enough, seat surfaces can be unstable, and angles can vary. The boot or bumper provides the safest and most stable setup.
**How does a longer ramp help protect a dog’s joints?**A longer ramp reduces the steepness of the incline, which lowers the impact and concussive forces on a dog’s joints. This helps protect shoulders, elbows, hips, and the spine, especially when coming down from a vehicle. Preventing repeated jumping is one of the best ways to support long-term joint health.
**Do I need to train my dog to use the ramp?**Most dogs adapt very quickly, but some may need gentle training. Using treats, praise, and patience helps build confidence. Start on flat ground before using the ramp with the car. A step-by-step Ramp Training Guide is included to help you build your dog’s confidence and ensure safe, stress-free use.
**What if my dog is nervous or refuses to use the ramp?**This is common at first. Go slowly, keep sessions short, and use positive reinforcement. Never force your dog onto the ramp. Many dogs become comfortable within a few sessions once they realise the ramp feels stable and secure.
**How do I look after the rubber surface and keep it clean**The rubber surface is easy to maintain. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or mud. Because it’s rubber rather than carpet or artificial grass, it’s more hygienic and dries quickly.

### Frequently Asked Questions

Choose the timeless grey with black embroidery, reminiscent of smoky backroom deals, or the bold charcoal with white embroidery, echoing the stark contrasts of right and wrong in the underworld. Wear it as a testament to your place in the family hierarchy, a nod to the respect you command, both as a dog lover and as the DogFather. This cap isn’t just about fashion; it’s about respect, loyalty, and the love of a good pup. Capisce?

### [Personalised Dog Tumbler](https://dogmom.co.za/product/personalised-dog-tumbler/)
**Published:** January 25, 2023
**Author:** Sandra - Dog Mom
**Excerpt:** This Personalised Dog Tumbler is the ideal gift for a Dog Mom (or Dad) who loves wine (or coffee - no judgement here). If you love the great outdoors, it is the perfect solution for drinks around the pool, at the braai or next to the fire on a camping trip. The double walled design is great for insulation of hot or cold beverages and that gorgeous face staring back at you will make this your go-to beverage vessel. ;-) Buy it now, for yourself, or your favourite dog person and make everyone else jealous that their tumbler doesn't quite make the grade. PS – we don’t discriminate…we are happy to add your feline children to these mugs too – just ask.
Add the relevant name in the field provided and then send us an email to info@dogmom.co.za with an image using the details in the description below and we’ll send you a mock-up before we print. This may mean your mug takes a little longer to get to you, but your morning coffee (or afternoon wine) is going to make you smile even more once you get it.
DID YOU KNOW? Studies have shown that even small interactions with dogs cause the human brain to produce oxytocin, a hormone that increases feelings of relaxation, trust, and empathy whilst alleviating anxiety and stress. Combine THAT with wine....well, we don't need to say much more, do we? :-D
**Content:**
Personalised Dog Tumbler – Have your fur baby’s beautiful face printed on this Dog Mom / Dog Dad Tumbler. This tumbler features your dog’s face on one side and a beautiful wraparound Dog Mom / Dad / Mum text. The sealed, leakproof (BPA free) lid has a sliding cover that ensures you don’t spill.

### [Double Raised Dog Feeders](https://dogmom.co.za/product/double-raised-dog-feeders/)
**Published:** November 22, 2022
**Author:** SandraB
**Excerpt:** Designed for dogs whose vet or veterinary physiotherapist has recommended raised bowls, this handcrafted double raised feeder keeps food and water together and within more comfortable reach.
It is made from Marine Grade Plywood, finished with a non-toxic waterproof sealant, and supplied with two Rogz Slurp Bowls. Please check that raised feeding is suitable for your dog before ordering, particularly if they are a large, giant, or deep-chested breed.
**Content:**
[](https://dogmom.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Size-Guide-Raised-Dog-Feeders.png)Click image to enlarge and view sizing guide### Is a raised feeder right for your dog?
A raised feeder may help a dog who struggles to bend down comfortably. By bringing the bowl closer, it can reduce how far the dog needs to lower their head at mealtimes.
This may be helpful for some dogs with arthritis, stiffness, neck or back discomfort, restricted mobility, or weakness following an injury or operation. The benefit depends on the dog’s condition and the height of the feeder. A raised bowl does not treat arthritis or prevent mobility problems.
Healthy dogs do not automatically need their bowls raised. Before changing your dog’s feeding height, ask your vet or veterinary physiotherapist whether a raised feeder is appropriate and what height would suit your dog.
### Raised feeding and bloat
Gastric dilatation-volvulus, often called GDV or bloat, is a life-threatening emergency in which the stomach fills with gas and may twist. Research in large and giant-breed dogs has found an association between raised feeding and an increased risk of GDV.
Dogs considered more vulnerable include large, giant, and deep-chested dogs. Great Danes, Weimaraners, St Bernards, Irish Setters, and Gordon Setters are among the breeds commonly affected, although bloat can occur in other breeds and mixed-breed dogs too. Age, eating quickly, eating one large meal a day, and having a close relative who has experienced GDV can also affect risk.
If your dog belongs to an at-risk breed or has a family history of bloat, speak to your vet before using a raised feeder.
A swollen abdomen, repeated attempts to vomit without bringing anything up, excessive drooling, restlessness, weakness, or collapse can be signs of GDV. It requires immediate emergency veterinary care.
### Choosing the correct height
There is no single “optimal” feeder height for every dog. If your vet or veterinary physiotherapist recommends raised feeding, ask them how high your dog’s bowl should be. You can then compare that measurement with the feeder dimensions in the size guide. If your dog falls between two sizes, choose the smaller feeder unless your veterinary professional advises otherwise.

There is no single “optimal” feeder height for every dog. If your vet or veterinary physiotherapist recommends raised feeding, ask them how high your dog’s bowl should be. You can then compare that measurement with the feeder dimensions in the size guide. If your dog falls between two sizes, choose the smaller feeder unless your veterinary professional advises otherwise.

### [Raised Feeders](https://dogmom.co.za/product-category/for-dogs/raised-feeders/)
**Description:** A raised feeder may make eating and drinking more comfortable for a dog who finds it difficult or painful to lower their head. This can include some senior dogs, dogs with arthritis or restricted mobility, and dogs recovering from an injury or operation. Raised feeding is not automatically the right choice for every dog. Research has associated raised bowls with an increased risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus, commonly called bloat, in some large and giant-breed dogs. Before raising your dog’s food or water bowl, please ask your vet or veterinary physiotherapist whether it would benefit your particular dog and what height they recommend. This is especially important if your dog is large, giant, deep-chested, or has a family history of bloat. If raised feeding has been recommended for your dog, choose from Dog Mom’s handcrafted single and double raised feeders.
