Home safety checklist and buying notes
Start with the daily risk that happens most often. Improve routes first, then add the product that solves one clear problem.
| Problem | Support goal | Check first |
|---|---|---|
| Slipping on hardwood or tile | Add paw-level traction and stable routes | Paw size, nail length, skin condition |
| Car or sofa access | Reduce repeated jumping | Height, ramp length, surface grip |
| Short transfers | Add supervised caregiver support | Fit, pressure points, handler control |
| Low vision | Add supervised navigation buffer | Ring diameter, home layout, tolerance |
FAQ
What should I fix first for senior pet home safety?
Create clear, non-slip routes between food, water, bed, doors, toileting areas, and the rooms your pet uses most.
Do I need both traction pads and a ramp?
Only if both problems exist. Traction helps with slick floors, while ramps help with height changes and repeated jumping.
When is home safety not enough?
Sudden slipping, weakness, pain, falling, confusion, or vision changes should be checked by a veterinarian.
