Our Story
How Willowstep Began…
As a puppy, Willow often struggled to breathe after short spells of exercise and also struggled to keep down her food. Concerned about her condition, her owners took her to the local vets who referred her to specialist Ed Friend at the Vale Small Animal Hospital in Dursley, Bristol.
Ed recommended elevating Willow’s bowl during meal times, as it has been scientifically proven to help all breeds of dog to digest their food properly. In doing so, Willow’s quality of life dramatically improved and she was no longer regurgitating her food.
Dad, a talented sheet metal fabricator for a well known classic sports car manufacturer, decided to create an aluminium frame that would imitate the stairs at home – and this is where the idea for Willowstep began. This step has now evolved into Willowstep, the product that we now sell.
Ed, who had first suggested the idea, was so impressed with the Willowstep that he now endorses us and recommends our product daily to owners of Brachycephalic breeds.
Our research has shown that all breeds of dog greatly benefit from their bowls being raised during meal times to prevent them from eating at a downwards angle.
