1. Small ramps bring great convenience
George, a 14-year-old dachshund, loved to jump up and down on the bed and sofa when he was a child. As he got older, his hind legs became inconvenient due to a herniated disc. The owner, Josh, specially placed ramps beside the bed and sofa, and slowly taught him how to use them with snacks, so that George could go up and down like before without causing too much harm to his legs and spine.
The owner has placed pet ramps throughout the home to make it easier for the elderly dachshund to get on and off beds and sofas.
2. Mao Laobai’s “Exclusive Elevator”
Hank, a British bulldog who is about 8 to 9 years old, suffers from heart disease. Going up and down stairs puts a huge burden on his body. The genius owner helped him build an exclusive "elevator". As long as he enters the exclusive box, it will be automatically taken upstairs or downstairs, and then his family will open the "elevator door" for him. It is very convenient!
With the elevator, Hank can go up and down as freely as before. He only needs to ask the owner to help open the "elevator door"!
3. 3D printed “flywheel” to replace lost front feet
Some dogs are born with physical defects. This dachshund named Bubbles was born without front feet. It is very difficult to survive in this world, and some doctors even recommended euthanasia. However, owner Trevor Byers bought a 3D printer to tailor-make training wheels for it so that it can walk and run like other dogs. He also generously shared this design, which helped many furry children and parents.
4. Use some ingenuity to DIY “educational toys” to fight Alzheimer’s disease
Although this dog named “Bella” has no physical disabilities, when dogs get older, sometimes they not only have to face physical problems; they may also include psychological and intellectual problems. For example, animals can also suffer from Alzheimer's disease (commonly known as Alzheimer's disease). Thinking of toys to let them "use their brains" can help prevent this disease. Bella's owner, Evaline Poot, DIYs "educational toys" to help her dog fight aging. With just a few bottles and some snacks, she can have a great time!
