The cat looks pretty good for a 20 year old! Maybe it's because of his owner.

It's pretty much what I had in mind for my soon to be 14 year old pup. Mine will be a little wider.

She really doesn't need it but I'm starting to worry she might and hurt herself before we realize it.

My friends just had to have neck/ruptured disc surgery for their beagle. He's the same age - going on 14. The vet told them no more jumping off the bed.

I don't even want to say what they spent on that surgery.

She stopped being able to get herself down the stairs to the backyard, so he built her a handicap ramp. She still had trouble with the snow (4 inch legs and often getting a foot or more of snow didn't really mix), but it gave her several additional years of good quality life.
