Assisting Older Pets
It’s not just humans who face physical challenges as they age. So do pets. PetLoaderTM helps pets that can no longer jump into a car and pet owners who can no longer lift pets into a vehicle. The portable staircase allows animals to climb into cars, SUVs or trucks with ease. The PetLoaderTM comes in plastic or aluminum, it folds up, and there are models with three, four, or five steps. For more information, visit www.petloader.com.
