Dog care

Dog care is not just about comfortable travel on a soft pillow in the trunk of your car. Rather, we are concerned with the prevention of chronic joint pain, the resulting reluctance to move and the suffering of your faithful companion.

What we care about

The relationship between dog and owner can be described by a special friendship. We humans take the best possible care of our four-legged friends in order to maintain this long-standing relationship. The friend on four paws should be offered the best possible comfort and a special everyday life. The day often starts with a walk together. Well-being and mentality will be maintained and the bond is strengthened.

Everyday life with dog

Dogs are particularly capable of learning when they are young and are also very active. They want to be kept busy and get attention. This happens, for example, on the extensive joint walks. For this purpose, the fur noses are often transported by car and for this many dogs have to jump in and out of the trunk. As common as this situation may seem to many people, the resulting joint stresses are too extreme for the dog. Joint damage may be the result.

Risks for your four-legged friend

One of the most influential factors is getting in and out of the trunk. The dog has to overcome a height that is unnatural for him, which can result in health problems. A study by Hartpury University in the United Kingdom looked at the impact force when jumping out of a trunk and its effects on the four-legged dog. The dogs each made three jumps from heights of 55cm, 65cm and 75cm, and the impact force was measured using a force plate. Compared to the normal step load, a fourfold impact force was measured when jumping out. This is again increased by almost 13% from 55cm to 65cm and from 65cm to 75cm – e.g. Mercedes Benz G-Class by 11%. 

For dogs with disposition

Getting in and out of the car in a way that is easy on the joints is even more important for dogs that are already limited by a damaged musculoskeletal system. Frequently affected breeds include Bernese Mountain Dog, Bobtail, Boxer, Briard, German Shepherd, Golden and Labrador Retriever, Large Poodle, Irish Setter, Newfoundland, Giant Schnauzer and many more.

High end design dog stairs

As, among other things, the study by Hartpury University shows, getting in and out of the car is an unnatural movement with increased risk of injury for your faithful companion. To reduce this risk, a mobility aid is recommended, no matter for young or old, injuries are thus prevented and make it easier for older dogs with problems to get in and out of the car. Our dog stairs enable dogs to participate in common daily activities in the urban environment even at an advanced age and to remain actively on the move. Our system not only prevents injuries, but also stands out with its unique modern design.

A journey together

Our dog staircase combines your wishes and the needs of your four-legged friend. So, nothing stands in the way of lifelong mobility. You and your dog can be active both at a young age and in old age. With us, the health of your pet is in the foreground and Dog Travelling First Class is our claim.
