This is the top way to keep your dog injury free according to Natalie Lenton of the Canine Massage Therapy Centre  (http://www.k9-massageguild.co.uk/the-number-1-way-to-keep-your-dog-injury-free/).

You don’t need to completely carpet your house, just provide islands of runners and mats so the dogs can get safely from their bed, to the door, to their food bowl.  Otherwise, to the dog, it can be like walking over a glacier.  I always carry a number of carpet runners in my car for visits for demonstration.  Every time the dogs, walk straight to it and on it.
