As companions grow older, their needs evolve—and the love and care they receive from us can make all the difference. At Animals Matter®, we believe that every stage of life deserves to be met with compassion, dignity, and exceptional comfort.

Our handcrafted products are thoughtfully designed to support the changing needs of aging dogs, providing mobility assistance, orthopedic support, and practical solutions for everyday life—all without compromising luxury, style, or the special bond you share.

Steps and Ramps: Safe Access to Their Favorite Places

Aging dogs may experience difficulty reaching beds, couches, and vehicles they once accessed easily. Our Steps and Ramps offer stable, supportive access to their favorite spots—helping maintain independence while reducing the risk of injury.

Crafted with high-density Certi-Pur Certified, furniture-grade foam, our steps provide a stable foundation that won’t compress over time. Covered in durable, upholstery-grade fabrics, they offer both beauty and function, blending seamlessly into your home while ensuring your Companion’s safety and confidence with every step.

Unlike hollow plastic or lightweight designs, our steps offer substantial, slip-resistant stability, helping senior dogs with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or general muscle weakness feel more secure moving around their environment.

Mobility Harness: Gentle Support for Everyday Movement

Companion Mobility Harness - Animals Matter, Inc.

For companions facing more significant mobility challenges, our Mobility Harness provides a compassionate way to assist them through daily activities. Ergonomically designed for comfort and adjustability, it allows you to gently lift or steady your dog as they navigate stairs, furniture, or vehicles.

With its padded support and thoughtful construction, the harness reduces stress on your dog’s joints while making lifting easier on you. It's an essential tool for maintaining dignity, enhancing safety, and deepening your bond during this important stage of life.

Low Profile Orthopedic Beds: Easy Access, Lasting Comfort

As mobility declines, getting on and off elevated surfaces can become difficult for senior dogs. Our low-profile, orthopedic designs ensure your Companion can still enjoy the restorative comfort they deserve without the strain.

  • Companion-Pedic® Ortho Rug: Perfect for indoor use, this slim yet supportive orthopedic rug offers a memory foam base that cradles joints and relieves pressure points. The low height allows for effortless access, while the luxurious cover blends seamlessly into your living space.

Senior dogs, especially those experiencing incontinence issues or temperature regulation challenges, benefit greatly from protective, comfortable layering. Our Waterproof Blankets are designed with breathable waterproof membranes that protect furniture, beds, and car interiors while offering the soft, cozy comfort your Companion deserves.

Available in a variety of luxurious styles, these blankets are not just practical—they're beautiful enough to complement any space. Whether offering a warm, dry place to rest or safeguarding orthopedic beds, our waterproof blankets are a compassionate addition to any senior care routine.

Caring for Your Senior Companion with Intention

Supporting an aging Companion involves more than managing physical needs—it’s about providing emotional security, consistency, and the comfort of familiar routines. Whether it's ensuring safe access to favorite spaces, offering orthopedic support for restful sleep, or managing incontinence with dignified solutions, every thoughtful choice you make enhances your Companion’s quality of life.

At Animals Matter®, we honor the bond you share with your dog by creating products that meet these needs with luxury, craftsmanship, and heart. Every stitch, every fabric choice, and every thoughtful design reflects our commitment to celebrating the journey you share, every step of the way.
