This Everyday Action Could Be Harmful to Your Dog

Hello Dog Lovers!  I am excited to have Breanna Price on the show.  She is on the marketing team at AlphaPaw and specializes in digital content creation and influencer partnerships. Creating an Instagram for her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Luna, is what ultimately led her to this career and her passion for working with animals. 

While we enjoy having our dogs sitting up with us and maybe even sleeping in our beds, what effect does the action of jumping up and down onto the couch or bed have on your dog’s muscles and joints? 

What type of injuries are most common as a result of jumping on and off of furniture?

What about for overweight dogs?

Are there certain breeds that are more prone to injury? 

And I imagine for people who constantly pick their dog up to put on or take down from furniture, that you’re stressing your own back in the process?

We are talking about this because Breanna and her team at AlphaPaw are the makers of the PawRamp, which addresses this issue of dogs jumping on and off of furniture.  Breanna, why is the PawRamp better than stairs or even other ramps?

What are the features?

And how did it get rated the #1 Vet Recommended Dog Ramp?

How did the company start? 

How big of a dog can use the PawRamp?  Is there a weight restriction?

What’s the best way to train a dog to use the PawRamp?

How many sizes do you have available?

And this is great to use when getting in/out of vehicles too right?

And you also sell other accessories and supplements?  Can you tell us about those?

Here is the picture of all of the dachshunds that Breanna mentioned during the interview with their PawRamps! This photo was posted by @LiamBeach2 on Instagram. He has 19 Dachshunds total :) He couldn't fit all on the sofa, sorry if I misspoke, but he went viral for fitting all of them on his staircase, and he attempted as many as possible for this photo :)
