Ask your local pet store, pool store, or eTailer about Super Skamper-Ramp® - the newest, strongest model in our lineup of animal water escape ramps.
THE PROBLEM:
Did you know that.... in the US over 71% of households own at least one pet –-that breaks out to almost 75 million pet dogs, 88+ million pet cats and 24+ million “small pets” in those households—totaling approx. 183 million pets! Pets that are family members, that rely on their owners to keep them safe.
The odds of a pet drowning, according to the American Pet Association, are approximately one out of 1,028 each year in the US alone, and over 53% of pet owners have a pool and/or spa.
Did you know that... over 22 % of U.S. households have more than one dog, and there more than 19% of households in the United States have more than 2 cats??[avma.org 2007]
That means that over 41% have, on average of 2 dogs and/or cats, and spend a lot of money to buy and care for them.
The health and safety of our pets counts for $24.5 billion in annual vet bills [avma.org, 2007]and $65+ billion annual pet product sales [appma.org, 2006]. Keeping pets safe is obviously important!
The problem with water hazard is very real but just as easily preventable.
When a pet or other animal jumps or falls in the water, they can swim for a while (some more than others) but, without a way out, they can drown from exhaustion brought on by panic or fatigue.
The fact is, pools are perilous for pets and no pool owner wants anything to drown in their pool, whether it is a critter or, more especially, a pet that is considered an important part of a family! Though some drownings occur by day, they occur most often at night leaving the pool owner or lakefront resident with that cruel surprise of a dead pet or animal floating in their pool or pond.
If a pool fence or door is left open, if there is no protective fence or cover, or if no one is around to hear an alarm when an animal gets in, what then? No matter how careful you are, there is always the possibility that something can happen.
That’s exactly why Skamper-Ramps were invented , why federal legislation regarding pool safety measures is pending and “Pet Safety” is one of the fastest growing segments in the Pet Industry!! In the case of vinyl-lined pools, one of the more expensive things to replace or repair is the vinyl liner.... And this is especially frustrating when the damage was caused by a frantic animal trying to escape from drowning! What can prevent this occurance? Leaving a Skamper-Ramp installed to make sure no critter is trapped and punctures the liner.
THE SOLUTION:
Skamper Industries LLC manufactures and distributes the animal water escape device, drowning prevention product known as Skamper-Ramp® - in two sizes, world-wide: Original and, since 1 December 2007, the new blowmolded Super Skamper-Ramp® .
This patented, proven and award-winning (and deceptively simple looking!) device -- US Patent # 664389, Int'l Patent Pending, Trademark registration # 2867405 -- is attractive, affordable, lightweight, versatile, robust and, most importantly, works--even when no one is there to help! Skamper-Ramp safeguards against finding any dead animals – pets or critters – in your pool, protecting them from drowning by providing a way to exit (or scamper out of!) the water on their own. This providing invaluable peace-of-mind to pet owners and animal lovers.
The product is Green because it is recyclable and 100% made in America!!
Note: Skamper Industries is the manufacturer of the Skamper-Ramp and Super Skamper-Ramp and does not sell retail. To find a retailer near you, use the interactive Store Locator map, or the E-tailers list for website catalogues.
