When you are a pet parent and have a pet with a disability or medical issues you may need to think outside the box. I couldn’t find an indoor pet ramp for my aging dog, so I decided to make one myself. Since then, I have used it for a new puppy and a geriatric cat! Step by step directions to make your own indoor pet ramp.
