Pet Gear Easy Step IV Deluxe Soft Dog & Cat Stairs, Oatmeal/Chocolate

We just bought a new bed & topper which made our old steps too short for our 2 small dogs. When we got these steps, I was really impressed. The construction is good & I love the fact that the cover zips off & is washable. Our youngest dog is fearless & began using the new steps immediately. The older dog was a little more cautious. With the use of treats we were able to get him up. He is still a bit hesitant to go down but he'll figure it out.

These step are a hard plastic with a cover. The cover slips and slides on each downward step my dog of 20 lbs attempted to take which makes her very scare to use it. If I could return it I would.

I ordered these steps to enable my 12 lb. chihuahua to access and leave our 32 inch high bed safely. With minimal encouragement and a handful of treats she has taken to them very quickly. I notice that she only goes to third step and from there pivots slightly to reach the top of the bed. I feel like the top step is useful however because it keeps her from overshooting the step unit if she runs up them too quickly in her excitement to reach her treat. I am very happy with my purchase!

I had a little trouble putting it together, but once it was assembled it was perfect. My dog is 55 lbs. and he goes up without a problem. It makes it so much easier for him to get up on the bed. Took a chance with this one and it paid off!!!

I recently bought a new mattress that is very high off the ground. I have two full grown Dachshunds who are under 20#. One is crippled. My dogs were used to a smaller set of stairs to reach my old bed. They are terrified of these stairs! The steps are narrow front to back and they are slanted. I read that it was helpful to dogs but it causes my dogs to slide off backwards. Sturdy but very hard plastic under their cover. These probably work well with medium sized dogs who are not afraid of height.

Although these stairs were easy to put together, we had to return them because they are too steep and each individual step isn't large enough. It could also use adjustment with the width. Our dog is an 85 lb golden retriever but he wasn't able to use them.

These tall steps allow my dogs to climb onto my high bed

This product was quite well designed, but with a couple of problems. I have to position the steps parallel to our bed, so the dogs have to make a sharp turn to get off or on the top step. This scares them. The top step should be larger for them to turn on. I finally found another stair set with a "large landing" top. Each step in this is slightly tilted forward, presumably (and unnecessarily) to help smaller dogs. Mine are wary of the slope. The sound of the plastic also worries them. To be fair, I have mostly senior rescued Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. These dogs are not known for agility or courage! I also have a Terrier, who does fine on the stairs. So I am sure this would work for other This product was quite well designed, but with a couple of problems.

These steps were very small with no side guard. My Toy and Miniature Poodles were scared to use them. I was scared they would fall off. The Steps are Plastic with a cover over them.

This product was easy to assemble and sturdy. I have an aging 50 lb. Boxer. Our bed is high and the steps are perfect for her to easily reach the top of the bed
