Pet Gear Easy Step II Cat & Dog Stairs

These steps went together quickly. I have not had the difficulty some have had with their coming apart. At least so far. My dog weighs about 35 lbs. She was not sure of the item at first and avoided using it. I used little salmon treats on the first step for a while until she got used to coming over and getting one and then put them on the second step so she had to step up on the first to get them. Finally we put them on the bed and heisted her up and she got the final clue and courage. Getting down was a slight hiccup but she learned that too. Now there is no issue at all. If you have a dog with long toenails they will make a noise on the plastic and that can be off-putting for some These steps went together quickly.

This step up replaces a wood one we've had for several years, and that broke when someone sat on it. This goes together easily and it seems to work, but it's not very solid so the dogs don't have confidence in it. After two weeks they're still not really using it much, making the choice to jump up (from our slippery floor) instead. It's also not very high. Our mattress is about 26 inches off the floor and this is not tall enough to really help, either. Might work for smaller dogs and lower beds or furniture. Inexpensive but disappointing overall.

This didn’t work for our 4 lb mini Dachshund to no fault of PetGear. I’m sure it’s fine for normal shaped dogs, but when he steps down the rise is too high and our wiener bumps his butt on the previous step. Going up takes a good bouncy jump for him. Not the product to choose if you’re trying to avoid neck & spine jarring.

Vet recommended I buy stairs for my two 14 year old JR"s. No luck yet for either to use them. Maybe some day when they get old they will decide to try them. So in the meantime they are just waiting. I found them to be pleasing to the eye,match my decor, well made and easily assembled. I would recommend these stairs and hope you have better luck with your dog using them.

I bought this for my friends dog who is getting older and struggling to get up on the couch. It has a funny slant forward that seems to make it a little awkward for her. I think if the steps were deeper, it might work better. She is older and hesitant so it might not have been the best choice for her. It was one of the more affordable ones so I thought I would give it a try. She hasn’t used it yet but maybe she will.

I need a stair for my dog and found one I thought would work on the chewy website. Unfortunately it was too steep. I called chewy to ask how to return it and get a new one and they told me I did not have to return it, just to give it away to a neighbor or pet shelter. They gave me a refund on it and helped me choose another one that worked!

I have 7 small dogs and none of them can use these steps. The steps angle forward which makes it impossible for them to get a good motion to go up them. Terrible design. They should be designed like regular steps.

I purchased these for my little dog, but they are plastic, and only have a little thin carpet on each step, my dog didn't like the plastic on the sides, other than that I would recommend them for a little extra help getting up and down, and prevent constant jumping, I don't want my dog to have problems later in years, from constant jumping on his little legs

My chubby Pomsky wanted to be lifted into my RAV4 and my Doc told me I shouldn't lift him. Tried a ramp but it was too steep. These steps work perfect! Nice and light but sturdy. I think the carpet on the steps really helps him feel stable and confident when he hops right in the car.

It says it holds up to 75 pounds and my dog is less than that it was fine for the first week but now it has collapsed once when she tried to get on the bed, so I won’t use it again for fear of her getting hurt.
