Folding Dog Stairs - 4 Step Pet Stairs For Bed, Sofa & Car

Watching a small dog take a run-up at the couch never stops being funny — right up until they miss, or start showing stiffness in their back legs. Four low steps solve it. Your dog walks up at their own pace instead of launching themselves, and the impact that wears out joints over the years simply stops happening. Pet Stairs That Fold Flat When You're Done With Them These dog stairs stand 49cm tall across four steps — roughly 12cm per step, which is a comfortable rise for small breeds, cats and older pets who've lost some spring. The frame is moulded PP plastic with a diagonal support beam, so there's no wobble when a nervous dog puts a paw on the top step and hesitates. Each step has an anti-slip carpet mat that feels secure under small paws, and non-slip rubber feet keep the whole thing planted on floorboards and tiles rather than sliding away mid-climb. When they're not needed, the stairs fold flat and slide behind a door, under a bed or into the boot. Dog Steps For Beds And Sofas At 49cm the top step suits most couches and lower bed frames. Set them against the furniture your dog uses most and leave them there — pets build routines around location, and stairs that live in one spot get used far more than ones that move around. The black finish is a lot easier to live with in a living room than bright plastic. Dog Stairs For Cars And Travel Folded flat they travel easily, which makes them useful for getting a small dog into a car boot or up onto a caravan step. At 62cm deep and 40cm wide unfolded they need a bit of clear ground to sit on, so check you have the room before relying on them at the car. Stairs Or A Ramp — Which Suits Your Dog? Being straight about this, because it matters more than the sale. Stairs are the better pick when floor space is tight, or when your dog is a normally-proportioned small breed or cat who takes to steps quickly. But if you have a dachshund, corgi, French bulldog or any long-backed breed, a ramp is genuinely kinder to their spine — each step is still a small hop, and repeated hopping is what puts those breeds at risk. You can compare options in our dog ramps range.
