How hardwood floors can shorten your pet’s life. #helpmypetlivelonger, #petlongevity
In this YouTube monologue, Dr. Kevin Toman, known as the Longevity Vet, explains that smooth flooring surfaces such as hardwood, vinyl, and tile pose a hidden risk to pets by causing slips and falls. Each slip can generate pain, inflammation, and potentially catastrophic injuries like herniated discs or ACL ruptures, which he argues shortens a pet’s lifespan. He dedicates the video to his dachshund Fritz, who suffered a disc injury from such a fall. Toman recommends increasing traction for pets using rubber‑backed throw rugs, booties, or Dr. Busby’s Toe Grips to prevent these injuries. He also promotes his website, helpingpetslivelonger.com, offering a free longevity strategy session to help owners extend their pets’ lives.
