Zinus Easy Pet Stairs

I bought the 4 steps of this brand. The steps aren't deep enough that even my 5lb Chihuahua is hesitant to go up. I finally took the top step off (see photo) so at the top it would be a bigger (18"x14")"landing". She felt more secure when jumping from there to the bed. She is coming up them without treats now but still not really sure of coming back down yet. I wouldn't call these "dense" foam, I couldn't imagine anything more than a 10-15lbs. (tops) dog going up these. The up side is they are not slippery. I bought the all plastic ones with the carpet insert and she hated it. She would slip on the plastic edge. She did that once and she was done. I'll see how this goes over another week or so I bought the 4 steps of this brand. The steps aren't deep enough that even my 5lb Chihuahua is hesitant to go up.

I hope I don't have to wash them too often-I don't know if the fabric will hold up-kinda cheap. Best steps for small pets. … more

Got these for my 23 year old Siamese cat. Very good quality, easy to put together top step (including the zipper). Phoebe will use the steps going up, but not going down. Depth of steps is too narrow for pets with handicaps in need of stability going down the stairs. These would work great for active pets who need a "bridge" to get up on things, but not for elderly, infirm, or handicapped. Go for ZINUS COZY stairs for pets who need help - ZINUS COZY stairs have a very deep bottom stair and Phoebe uses them going up and down with no problem. Down is where she needs it most to prevent jarring her old arthritic joints. I wonder how many negative reviews for different stairs where the pet won't Got these for my 23 year old Siamese cat.

the stairs are for my new 3 month old twin puppies - I am handicapped and lifting them was very painful the stairs worked GREAT! it did arrive with one of the zippers wedges into the fabric and I spent about 20 minutes cutting it our and resewing -better then shipping it all back.. the tag on the outer top needs to be in the back - that was one of the first things the puppies grabbed - I just cut it off - otherwise it would have been a 5 star

At almost 15 years old, my cat is beginning to have difficulty jumping, even short distances up onto the couch. She quickly figured out that here was an amazing way to make her way onto the bed at night to curl up beside me. Another plus: they're made of foam, so my toes are safe from stubbing up against them.

I have bought several different "stairs" over the years for my shih tzu's. And for one reason or another they didn't like them and would not use them. Money wasted. My babies are all old now and need assistance getting up on the bed. I started researching to see what was available. I bought this Zinus Easy Pet Stairs and was excited about the purchase as soon as I opened the box. Was easy to set up and immediately started working with my dogs going up and down the stairs. It took 1 week to break old habits ( me picking them up) and coaxing them up the steps. My 8 pound dog did fine. My heavier girls (12-26#) took alittle longer because the steps will wobble if they don't go straight I have bought several different "stairs" over the years for my shih tzu's.

I put a small non-stick rug underneath it to keep from sliding. I am MORE THAN satisfied and VERY happy with this purchase. … more

Bought these stairs for our Chiweenie who is used to using a ramp to get on and off the couch. Other other Dachshund mix would not ever use the ramp but he loves these stairs and uses them all of the time. The Chiweenie loves them too.

My dog likes to go down but not up these stairs >.< which is funny to me since he climbs mountains but it is a well made product even I can sit on the stairs and they hold up well (125lbs person) well made and easy to clean!

Our little girl is 6.5lbs and has to be picked up to join us and her dog companion on the bed/couch. We love this product as she learned to use it quickly and she loves it too! It's lightweight and seems flimsy but she's small enough that it works perfectly.

Size small is perfect for our 17# Scottie to jump on and off the bed. 'Assembly' is so easy...zipping the top step into the upholstery! She took to it right away. Looks good, and very stable and safe for her. Thanks!!!

This is just what we needed. Light weight so easy to move around. Took a few days for the dog to use it, but once he did uses it regularly.
