 shipping August 31, 2008
the product was as advertised. however the shipping carton was completly open when received. the shipper didn't know how to seal the box. if the steps were not a large single but a group of smaller ones the carton would have beeen empty.
 Exactly what I'd hoped for August 16, 2008
When I ordered these steps I was a little worried that it wouldn't be sturdy enough or that since the steps weren't completely covered in cloth that it may be a little slippery for my jack russell terrier. I didn't want to have to pay well over a hundred dollars for one of those solid wood ones, and as it turned out I didn't have to. This thing is perfect for what I (and my dog) need. It's very sturdy, could probably hold a MUCH heavier dog with no problems. The steps are covered enough that the non-covered areas are of no concern whatsoever. It took a couple days for my dog to get used to them, now she has even started using them to get off the bed as well.
As an added bonus, since this item was over $25 I chose the free shipping option, figuring it would take 2 weeks to get here. It showed up 4 days later! I recommend this product (and the super saver shipping option because it's done the same thing on several items for me since this purchase) to anyone who is looking for a quick and easy solution for your dog.
pet steps August 2, 2008
We have a Dachshund with tiny legs and these stairs are great! The stairs are placed beneath a bow window with a wide ledge. The Dachshund easily runs up the stairs and right onto the window ledge. I am happy with this purchase and so is "Tootsie."
Best Investment for a Doggy Owner! June 30, 2008
Hands down, these are the best thing I could have bought for my 14lb Westie! I have a huge king size sleigh bed that I share with my pooch, and was looking for a quality set of stairs. Wood looks nice, but as my father, who does construction says, although it'll look nice, will be too heavy.
I bought these for $50+ at Petsmart and thought THAT was a value until I saw it sold here for much less!
The 'carpeting' on it gives her a nice grip, the plastic, although cheap looking, is nice and light for me to move to clean under it. The height is also perfect for the bed! (Something that is lacking in all the other much pricier stairs Ive looked at.) At first she was hesitate to use it, but after some coaxing with treats, she realized that she can now get on my bed without begging and now uses it EVERY single time, both to get on and off.
This is a must have, especially if you have a breed that is prone to luxating patella like I do!
Since it's a daily necessity and is very sturdy, I say this is the best investment I could have made, especially since even I use it as much as she does! lol Yes, I am quite petite at 5' 110lbs, but I use it all the time to get on and off my bed! I've had this for over a year now, and it still looks brand new (carpeting is easy to vaccum with my hand held vaccum and wipes down cleanly) The spacing of the steps and width of the steps is so easy to use, even I have no issues using it and I would think my paws are bigger than hers! lol
PS. Ive been told many times and read it repeatedly that if something is too high for my dog to jump ON, imagine how bad it is for her knees to jump off! If not for the convenience for YOU to have to pick up your dog onto furniture, then do it for their health when you imagine the impact on their joints when they jump off!
height is great for high beds May 12, 2008
I bought these from a local pet store for my 8 week old beagle puppy. She learned very quickly how to use them. They are perfect for her now but I am not sure how great they'll be when she is bigger. But if you have high bed these are the way to go. I wouldn't purchase these for a large dog that is a senior as they would probably be to narrow. I would say great for dogs 30 pounds and under.
