How we decide what to recommend
We compare products on what matters for an older body: foam density and thickness, ramp angle and grip, harness fit and load, wheelchair adjustability, and the real dose of active ingredients on a supplement label. We work from manufacturer specifications, construction details and veterinary guidance, and from patterns in what long-term owners report. We never accept payment for placement, and we tell you when a cheaper option or a vet visit is the better answer.
