Hi, my cat is now 9 years old. My beds are very high and she's been able to jump up on them at night to sleep with me. I felt it was good exercise for her, being an indoor cat. However, lately she has been struggling and has even fallen trying to jum
Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. I am sorry that Majo is having these issues. Studies have shown that 95% of cats over the age of 8 have some form of arthritis, and often it is undiagnosed because cats hide their illnesses well. This could be the cause of Majo's inability to jump up. Other causes could be related to being overweight, neurological problems that can include both structural issues in her back, or metabolic conditions such as diabetes. Weakness from other medical conditions can also cause this type of behaviour. What I recommend is a visit to the vet to make sure there is no medical cause that needs to be addressed, and to assess her body condition to see if weight loss is needed. Otherwise, ramps are a great idea to help our furry friends get up on the bed. If arthritis is the issue, you can talk with your vet about different types of food and supplements that will help support joints. Best of luck with Majo!

We purchased "pet stairs" to help our dog get on our new bed which is much higher than our previous bed. Although we have stairs in our home which she bounds up and down constantly and easily, she doesn't seem to "get" the pet stairs. I've tried br
This is a very common problem! Most dogs have to be taught how to use the stairs at first. I would recommend going very slowly, and using treats to reward her for each tiny step in the right direction. So instead of putting treats on the stairs, if this is too challenging for her, start by putting a treat on the very first step so she can eat it easily. Do this several times. Then, try holding the treat in your hand and luring her nose up and forward, to see if she'll put a single paw on the first step - praise and let her have the treat as soon as she does. If this is too hard for her, give her the treat just for lifting her front paw - then work up from there. The key is to break it down into tiny steps that are manageable for her. Do short sessions (no more than 3-5 minutes at a time) several times a day. If you're still having trouble, consider calling a good reward-based trainer to come and get you started on the right track. You can search for a qualified trainer in

I’m getting a kitten in about two weeks. I’ve never owned a kitten, so I have no idea what supplies to get. do you have any suggestions?
It's great that you want to be prepared for your new kitten! Aside from the obvious things for the kitten like food and water bowls, I'd recommend a tall scratching post and perch. Two litter boxes in different areas of the house are recommended. Canned kitten food (and canned adult cat food as Myla gets older) is preferred over dry food. This article may also be very helpful to you: https://www.petcoach.co/article/new-kitten-101/ Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Good luck with your new kitten!

I don't know if this is what you are looking for but here is an amazon link that provides a few different options. https://www.amazon.com/cat-window-seats/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Acat%20window%20seats Since your one cat is 22lbs you may need to secure a window seat a little more because of the weight. I would think about getting a cat tower for in front of the window. You can do something like the: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Activity-Scratching-Posts-Medium/dp/B017WXWZ6Y/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1511407650&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=cat+tower&psc=1 I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco!

What pain medicine and/or supplements can Watson take given his low body weight of 3.3 pds at 7 months? He's been rather sick, and the doctor noted his back leg muscles had begun to atrophy. He's trying to move, but it's obvious he's in a lot of dis
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! An orthopedic bed is not likely to help though it is very hard to make any recommendations with the information provided. It really depends on what the source of her condition is. I would highly recommend you check in with your veterinarian if he has not been improving as they would know more about his condition and would be able to make more specific recommendations. General medications for pain include buprenorphine for example. If they think he is painful, they may start him on something like that. Good luck!
