DIY help for blind dog - moving into house with long, odd steps here and there, how to create custom ramps?
We're moving into a new home that has some drop-offs and steps in various places (both wood and carpet) - for example, a sunken living room and level changes throughout the house, as it's multi-story built on the side of a mountain. We have a small blind dog who has only lived in single story homes for the past decade. She will not have access to the stairs (which we will carry her up and down like the princess she is), but there are other areas we're brainstorming on how to approach. Things we've used in the past to help orient her: dog-safe scents in different rooms, runner rugs and area rugs to help with transitions, gates obviously, and she currently uses a wide foam wedge pillow as a ramp to hop up on our bed. What I'd love input on are these longer steps in the photos attached - ideally a firm foam or rubber ramp that fit the length of each step would be amazing here, but I'm not finding much on online that even comes close the shape this would need. We can also gate off most of it except for smaller sections and put a smaller ramp in opening, but that would look...busy, lol. My wildcard is putting velcro on the edge of all the steps so knows there's a drop off. Would love any/all thoughts you have! https://preview.redd.it/ajn95th5dmte1.png?width=826&format=png&auto=webp&s=292f5103fa25d25358e68c35e1274d00545d670d https://preview.redd.it/ia158th5dmte1.png?width=1406&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1c9bf15cf746a8ddc45bb95226bd7c7e38d2d78 submitted by /u/jezekiant [link] [comments]
