4. I've got a 13-year-old, large dog, too. On Rimadyl...

And so far, all I've come up with is the brute strength solution:

Maxfield weighs in at ~110# and when he goes to the vet I have to put his front paws on the back seat and lift his hindquarters with a sling fashioned from a towel around his midsection. He kind of "walks in" on his front paws as I levitate the rest of him in.

When it's time to get out he starts to get out of the car on his own and I lift his hips to ground level for him.

Upper body workout? You bet!

Doesn't hurt him, either.
