Pet Gear Easy Step II Cat & Dog Stairs

These steps are perfect my aging Bloodhound. She loves to sleep on her Big Girl Bed (our spare bed), but she just can’t jump up like she used to and they are great for her coming down, because she won’t jump down anymore now that she has the steps. So less chance of an injury. It’s funny but she knows to take it slow! They are the perfect color for the room they are in and are clean and simple. There is rug on each step for traction. So glad I took a chance in these!

I was hoping to give my 15-year-old standard dachshund an easier way to get up on the couch. He can climb these steps but it takes a lot of scrambling. The long body and short leg combo probably means he would be more suited to a ramp or several smaller steps. I think the rise is too high and the slanted steps weird him out a little. Overall the steps seem to be sturdy and good quality for the price; they were easy to put together and don’t slip on my laminate floors. And my cats enjoy the carpet and bonus hiding place underneath :)

Steps are definitely worth the money, nice wide steps for our dog to climb safely. Gave four stars only because the directions were completely inaccurate. Everything was labeled incorrectly which made it more confusing than it should have been. Set it up with common sense, not directions. Stairs deserve 5 stars.

These stairs help our two 60 pound dogs get up on our bed. The depth, angle and stability of these stairs are excellent, way better than a previous set of steps we had tried The dogs have no problems walking up the stairs. They're still a little hesitant to use them coming back down, but that will be a matter of time (and treats). I recommend you try these out.

Bought this for my 19 year old cat who sometimes has trouble jumping up onto my bed. Whenever I put my cat on the stairs she would panic and immediately jump off. I even tried using treats. I think the steps are too deep for her to walk up. If I put her front paws on the bottom step she jumps up over the top step catching her back feet on the side of the mattress. If I put her on the top step to go down, she jumps over the bottom step to the floor. Not sure why they designed the steps to be slanted. Seems to work for other pets, just didn't work for my cat. Unfortunately I'll have to return this item.

I actually bought this for my rabbit. He's easy to jump now, but as he gets older I want something he gets used to now so he doesn't hurt himself later. The little carpet is perfect to prevent sliding, but he doesn't seem prone to chew it up. It took him awhile to like to use it, but I'd also rearranged completely the bunny feng shui when I moved the stairs in, so I'm sure that was part of it. He uses them exclusively now when he gets up onto what I'm using it for. There is one thing I'll say for this that is a drawback: the first to second step is a bit steeper than the floor to first step. But the incline isn't as bad as it seems and my rabbit hangs out on the first step at times loving I actually bought this for my rabbit.

I adopted my 7/8 year old Pit Bull, Sunny, last April. She weighs 70 lbs and learned to use the stairs very quickly with treats and praise. She's no longer at risk of an injury from jumping off the couch or bed. We have had the stairs for several months now and haven't had any issues. The stairs are sturdy and she uses them all the time, as she insists on cuddling on the couch whenever possible.

I read the reviews and noticed a lot of people were complaining about the size or it not being wide enough to accommodate large breeds. However I reviewed the pictures and that helped me in making my decision. Thank you to all who posted a picture. The purchase is perfect. My dog is shy of 100 lbs. She recently had leg surgery. The steps help her in and out of the van. The steps are just high enough so as to not put stress on her. Zero regrets. I love this purchase. Nice alternative to a 200 dollar ramp.

Step directions are awful so my poor dogs were subjected to some cursing. I finally got it together and the stairs are fine for the money. For those of us who aren't putting things together too often, I suggest the manufacturer include step by step picture directions. Also. I think, the feet should be non-slip but I guess I can do that myself.

I purchased this item a couple of years ago for my now 14-year old dogs, one of whom has spondylosis and has difficulty walking, and the other has arthritis. Both are +70 lbs. The steps have been invaluable in helping them into the SUV. If not for the steps, they wouldn't be able to get in the car. I am ordering another so that they can more easily navigate the bed (they have been sleeping on a twin mattress on the floor.).
