WHAT DOG PARENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR DOG STAIRS
Walter
Safe and convenient for our large dog
These dog stairs are exactly what we needed for our Rottweiler, Henry. The extra wide steps give him plenty of room to maneuver, and the rubber floor grippers keep the stairs securely in place. The best part is, we don't have to worry about him slipping or the stairs moving around. It's a huge relief knowing he can get up on the couch safely and comfortably. Plus, the neutral design fits perfectly with our living room decor.
Sean
Lola will no more jump
We recently bought these dog stairs for our Cocker Spaniel, Lola, and they’ve been fantastic! She used to struggle jumping up on the couch, but now she trots right up the steps. These stairs are solid and well-built, and they’ve made life so much easier for Lola and us.
Gloria
Super sturdy
These dog stairs are incredibly well-made. We have a large German Shepherd and the extra wide steps hold his weight without any issues. The stairs stay in place even when Zeus enthusiastically jumps up them. We’re impressed with the durability and stability of these stairs. They’re built to last and give us peace of mind knowing Zeus can safely get on and off the couch.
