(53,410 posts)The cat looks pretty good for a 20 year old! Maybe it's because of his owner.

(26,326 posts)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.
