A Boost for Fido in and out of the Truck
Doggie Steps
Although they probably wouldn’t hesitate to do it, a long jump from a semi cab to the hard ground below isn’t great for a dog’s knees. Whether you have a large or a small pet, most owners would probably like to prevent the problems that come from dogs jumping these distances. Avoiding expensive surgeries and discomfort to your dog are two of the main reasons why many truckers who take their canines on the road would want to prevent them from jumping the long distance from cab to ground.
Until now, truckers facing this predicament have had only two solutions. First, they can carry their dog out of the cab. This option, however, presents problems for both the pet and his or her owner. Truckers can testify that it’s hard enough to get in and out of cabs without a squirming dog in your arms. And after hours on the road, the chances are great that that dog will be squirming, getting excited about finally being out in the fresh air. Also, some truckers have dogs that are simply too large to carry up and down from the big rig.
For these truckers, the sad second option was to leave your pet at home. With more and more companies allowing drivers to have a canine companion, this is a shame for both the driver and the pooch. Even though life on the road can be an exciting way to see the United States, and sometimes Canada and Mexico, many truckers like to have some connection to home. And that’s where Fido comes in. Having to leave your pet with friends or family members is not only disappointing to both you and your dog, but also presents a problem for the family or friends left in charge of the animal and his or her needs.
But for under $200, truckers now have another option, an easily removable ramp that allows dogs to walk up and down from the cab with ease, limiting the strain on their knees, and preventing you from getting involved. The PetStep ramp was, according to its manufacturers, created for the comfort of pets and their owners. The versatile design of this product allows you to use it for all of your needs. Because it comes with legs that can be installed, the ramp quickly converts to a table that can be used for grooming. Also fitted with wheels, that table can be turned into a rolling cart should you need to transport your pet short distances.
In addition to use on the road, this ramp can be easily used during recreation and home life. For homes with steep steps, high personal vehicles, or furniture, boats, and other areas that dogs may have trouble accessing, the easy to move, store, and set up PetStep ramp can be a beneficial asset. And because it can turn into a floating board, dogs can fearlessly be transported through water on boating and lake trips.
For the trucker who likes to bring his best friend along for the ride, the PetStep is a necessity for the health of the pet and the comfort of both pet and owner.
