WHAT DOG PARENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR DOG STAIRS
Judy
Great for couch time with our dog
These stairs have made our couch time with Bella, our Border Collie, so much better. Before, she would sit on the floor and watch us from a distance, but now she’s right up there with us. The stairs are just the right height and super easy for her to use, which has made our bonding time even more enjoyable.
Billy
A comfort solution for our aging pointer
Our 12-year-old pointer, Oliver, was having a hard time jumping onto the couch. These stairs have been a fantastic solution. They’re gentle on his joints, and he’s much happier getting up to his favorite spot now. We’re really pleased with how this has helped Oliver stay safe and happy.
Marilyn
Good for my energetic lab
Our Labrador loves to jump on and off the couch, but these stairs have made it much easier for her. She quickly figured out how to use them, and now she bounds up and down with joy. It’s been a great addition to our home for her energy.
