1. Built for “sausage dog” bodies - Dachshunds’ long spines and short legs make them up to 10x more likely to develop IVDD than other breeds. One bad jump can change everything.

2. Every jump is high impact - Launching off beds, sofas, and stairs slams all that force into a low, fragile spine instead of long legs that can absorb it.

3. Risk starts young - Many IVDD cases appear in “healthy” Doxies between 3–6 years old, not just seniors. Prevention has to start early.

4. Hidden daily danger zones - Bed, couch, car, even a small step stool—repeated up-and-down jumping slowly wears down discs over time.

5. Vets’ #1 recommendation - Limit jumping and keep their back level. A purpose-built ramp like Dachramp gives your Dachshund safe, independent access without risking their spine.

6. Peace of mind for you, freedom for them - Protect their back now so they can keep doing what Doxies do best: snuggle, zoom, and rule the house.

Why a Dachramp Helps

Reduced impact - Walking up/down a gentle slope lessens the concussion on hips, knees, and spine compared to free-fall jumps

Injury prevention - Especially for IVDD-prone breeds like Dachshunds, avoiding spinal flexion and compression can stave off serious injury or age-related mobility pain

Quality of life - Older or chronically stiff dogs retain independence—and you avoid constantly lifting them on and off furniture

If you have Dachshund older than 3 - or simply notice hesitation, joint stiffness, or a reluctance to jumping — having a Dachramp is one of the simplest, most effective steps you can take to keep your pet healthy and safe.
