WHAT DOG PARENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR DOG STAIRS
Sarah H.
Just great.
Love this dog step for my dachshund! The wide platform gives him plenty of space, and the grippy carpet keeps his little paws from slipping, even when he's excited to jump up
Danny
My husky sheds like crazy, and his fur used to get all over the couch from his jumping. This step is a lifesaver! Now he has a dedicated way up, and the couch stays fur-free.
Many
This step is a lifesaver for our family! My two pups used to fight over who got to cuddle on the couch first. Now they both have their own way up with this wide step.
