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

The Pet Gear Easy Step IV Deluxe Soft Dog & Cat Stairs is a wonderful way to help Pippin, my 11 pound senior poodle, get onto our high bed. He has always been an excellent jumper, but as he has aged my vet suggested that it was not good for his joints to keep letting him leap up. The only reason I have given 4 rather than 5 stars to this product is that the cover slides on the plastic stairs. My husband and I corrected the problem with Velcro strips under the cover at the base of each step. Some of the reviews mentioned difficulty in putting the stairs together. We had no problem when we followed the directions and used a little soap on the pegs. It's good that they fit tightly.

If the manufacturer included some velcro to anchor the fabric cover, I would have given it a 5 rating. … more

The cover fits very loosely and the steps have a slight downward slope, I’m not sure how any dog is supposed to get proper traction climbing this thing. My dog is a 50lb lab/beagle mix. He is missing a leg, but you’d never know it. He can jump up and off our king sized bed no problem, but I wanted stairs so he wouldn’t be putting so much strain on his joints. He’s too cautious and doesn’t want to go up it, but will if you convince him to use it. He has no confidence going down. I would just use Velcro or staples to make the cover tighg-fitting, but the steps are still slanted so I’m wondering what’s the point and will just return instead. A positive is that it is tall and sturdy.

Our three tiny Yorkies have been using a stack of pillows and blankets to climb onto the bench at the foot of our bed and then onto the bed itself. The bed is very tall and I thought these steps were the solution. Unfortunately, that was not the case. They were terrified of it. No amount of bribery or treats did the trick. It was way too steep and probably not safe for them. I'm sure they will work fine for larger dogs. Additionally, the box was damaged and the contents looked as though they had been used.This was my first Chewy order and I was hesitant to contact Customer Service, but they could not have been more accommodating! I will DEFINITELY order from them again!!

I bought this for my senior cats that are having a hard time jumping up on my rather high bed. (31") They're getting used to it, they have never climbed stairs so it's a process. Very easy to assemble and a nice soft, washable cover. Very satisfied.

The product came in a really torn box. It wasn't really what I was looking for, and the steps are not that sturdy. I think I would have looked for something else before I got this.

Great product that was well made .My dog kinda afraid to climb the steps but with practice she is doing well

These steps are made for a higher piece of furniture so they work well with my bed. I lined the top of each step with batting so it is easier for dog to climb and less likely to slip. Otherwise it is cloth cover over hard plastic and easier to slide off step.

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.

Perfect height for my two doggies to get on my bed. The carpeted steps are easy grip and easy to vacuum.

My bed is very high. I have to pick up Esmeralda each time she wants off and on. Now she is independent and safe.
