It depends on what noise you are hearing. If it's the sound of the door rollers going up and down the track or the rattling of the door panels or hinges, then no, this will not do you any good. If it's the hum of the motor, then yes, a softer, less rigid suspension may reduce the amount of vibration that is transferred to the garage ceiling.

Amarr's Classica 3000 is 13.35 and Raynor has some that are 18. I am going to get the Classica 3000 personally.

nanabella- Thanks for responding. You are correct in that this sofa is made in China. I would love to find something similar elsewhere, but I have very specific dimensions (L60" x D24-30") that I need to follow and I will need two matching settees since they will both be facing one another in our front parlor. I've tried looking for vintage ones although I want something that is more of a casual elegance (think european country) that doesn't scream victorian and is comfortable. The other problem has been trying to find two matching ones. There will also be two overstuffed chairs in the front bay of that same room so I don't want to have one sofa and two chairs opposite the sofa, hence the quest for two settees.

Glucosamine/chondroitin is an OTC joint supplement. You can get it at a human drug store. I personally go to Costco for their Kirklands brand, which is the most economical choice since my husband, myself, and all 4 dogs take it daily. $21/200 tablets. Hmm, I wouldn't think of hepatitic lipidosis OR hepatitis without any kind of clinical signs. I don't think I've ever seen a hepatitic lipidosis animal that was eating (anorexia is usually the cause of their problem, and it's not common in dogs anyway) or that wasn't jaundiced. And usually dogs with hepatitis have decreased appetite (not all though; my B'Elanna ate well throughout her hepatitis too), increased drinking/urination, sometimes other more serious problems such as hepatitic encephalopathy, hypoproteinemia, and others. My B'Elanna was a little lethargic, but she was also VERY yellow, which is why we knew to look for liver disease. Personally I would have an ultrasound and liver biopsy done. Between those tests, you'd get a ton of information, such as are there liver masses or nodules, is there steroid hepatopathy (like with Cushing's disease which is common in poodles), you can do special stains for copper accumulation, etc. The ALT is a little more concerning because that is more liver specific and indicates liver cell damage. But that could be secondary to other things such as Cushings, nodular regeneration, etc. OTOH, my Aleksander lived the last several years of his life with an ALKP in the 1200s and he did not have any disease that would cause that elevation. He eventually died of stomach cancer, but that wouldn't cause elevated ALKP and in fact his ALKP was lower when he got sick. Again I know many dogs who just have a higher ALKP. If we can't find a cause for it after a good workup and the dog seems fine, we just kinda say OK, it's normal for that dog and continue to monitor it once every 6-12 months as long as dog stays healthy. I'd do bloodwork every 6 months on any dog over 8 years old anyway; now your guy has an even better reason than just routine senior care. Anyway, since he's feeling fine, I wouldn't rush into anything, but I would get the ultrasound and biopsy done. You may do a bunch of other tests and find nothing. If you have results of other bloodwork, I'd love to see them. In the meantime, keep up what you're doing because your dog seems to be doing well with it.
