The world's first stair lift for dogs is being trialled after research revealed a worrying rise in number of porky pooches. It has been found that if obesity levels in dogs continue to rise at the current rate over half of all pooches will be severely overweight by 2022 and unable to carry out basic tasks.
Based on a conventional stair lift, the 'Stair of the Dog 2022' concept has been in development for the best part of six months and has a number of high tech mutt-modifications that make it dog friendly.

That is a good idea for older dogs that have trouble with steps. If it is because they are overweight, they need to exercise.

I agree that this will just make the dog fatter. For arthritic dogs, great idea. For fat dogs, a specially made dog treadmill would be better.
My dog has had arthritis for some time. She's not overweight, and something like this would really help her.
