Pet Gear Easy Step Cat & Dog Stairs, Chocolate

When we noticed our 13-year old pittie having trouble getting up on the couch, we had to do something to help him. I looked at several stairs and ramps before deciding on this one. Most of them looked flimsy or too big for our small living area. This one is great because it slopes slightly but doesn't take up a lot of room and fits right up against the couch. Our boy was hesitant at first, but now uses it without a problem. It is very sturdy-- he is 80 lbs and can put all 4 paws on it before climbing on to the couch. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's a very simple design and seems a little pricey for the the amount of material in it.

This step has been a true lifesaver for my 9 lb chihuahua. We got her one for the couch and she loves it. The days of jumping off the couch onto the floor are over. I feel that this product has preserved her legs for years to come. We ordered a second one so she can get on and off the bench upstairs. I recommend this 100% for anyone that doesn't want their dog jumping off furniture anymore (in fear of it hurting their legs).

I would like to be able to say that our English mastiff anabel used this as is into the van with this unfortunately I had to turn it sideways so she think it was a step. But she has used it to get in and out both and so that’s been a blessing she’s 150 pounds, her rear end is not the best, she is a senior and thinks she can just do everything as she did as a youngster, but this seems to trick her into thinking she’s just going up there on her own. It’s light weight and easy to take along with you. Note to people with puppies besides exposing them to stairs please have them learn how to use a ramp also!

I agree with other reviews that ramps don't work well for the side door of an SUV but this single stair is the answer for my dog. You don't need much room to position it and it can be carried in my car's cargo area. It is sturdy but lightweight and has a carpeted surface that is non-slip. I did brace it with my foot the first couple of times because it will shift slightly when the dog jumps up and I did not want my dog to be afraid of it. The height is only about 10 inches so he still does have to jump to the seat but the size of the platform allows him to put both front and back paws on it which makes the jump easier.

We ordered this thinking our 16-pound MinPin mix would find it helpful in hopping up on our bed, which has gotten harder for him. It does help. Be aware in ordering that it's only 10 inches at the highest point. Our little dog still has to give a considerable hop to get onto our bed, which isn't especially high. Not sure this will work as he gets older. Other than being a little low for our purposes, it's good. Solid enough not to move; the carpet has good traction. I do think the incline works better for our dog than steps--it doesn't require the same dexterity or learning curve. Would recommend as long as a higher height is not needed.

This step works great for our 103lb petite Rottie. Very easy for her to get into the car now. Still a little skittish getting out of the car, but I just put my foot in front of the step to make sure it stays in place. With a little persuasion, she's out of the car, no problem. Thanks Chewy, for making our life easier!

My dog is getting older and recently had a foot injury that caused him pain walking. I also recently purchased a new vehicle that is much higher than our previous one & he was struggling to get in. This step was a godsend and has given my dog (and my knees & back) much needed peace of mind regarding him getting into the vehicle safely and easily. For reference, my dog is a 70 lb shepherd/pitbull/boxer mix. Definitely recommend!

I have a small living room and already a full size ramp for my aging mini poodle next to his favorite chair but he likes to look out the window behind the couch too so I tried this not sure if it would be too short but he likes it and mosies back and forth between the 2 with ease

Abby is almost 14 and has very bad arthritis so jumping up in the car for her is more difficult. She will not use multiple steps so this single step is perfect! She does not hesitate. She weighs about 56 pounds and it holds her and does not move when she jumps up or down.

One of my dogs can no longer get on "her" couch. I was tired of picking her up 30 times a day and decided to try steps which she wouldn't use. This ramp however took 2 minutes to train her with treats and she uses it without any problems. It's amazing! Such a good idea, I've told all my friends with older dogs. I need to point out though that my other dog, a Beagle hates it. He "arroooh's at it and won't go near it. So, I guess it depends on the dog, but my old girl loves it as do I. Highly recommend this product!
