What are the Dog Steps with 4 Steps?

Help maintain and protect your pet's joint health with the Dog Steps with 4 Steps. Pets that constantly jump off sofas, beds, and other furniture can place unnecessary strain on the joints which could potentially lead to arthritis. Reduce your pet's risk today by ordering these compact and durable pet stairs. The Dog Steps provide a wide surface area that allows your pet to stop and rest on each step before moving forward, which is especially helpful for senior pets. These pet stairs support dogs and cats up to 150 lbs and are available in 2 colors (Tan and Cocoa) to accommodate most decor. Please note: Some dogs may need training to use the steps. We recommend using a treat to encourage your pet up and down the steps to become accustomed to using it.

  Dog Steps with 4 Steps
  Steps in use (stepping up)
  Steps in use (stepping down)

How it works:
Place the Dog Steps against the piece of furniture you want your dog or cat to climb up onto and down from with ease. Try encouraging your pet up and down the steps by using a treat.

The Dog Steps are great for:

•	Senior pets that need help getting onto furniture. Read more about how dog steps can help dogs and cats with arthritis.
•	Pets that already experience joint pain or weakness.
•	All other pets to act as a preventive measure against arthritis by reducing the stress on joints when jumping down.

Cautions: Do not use as a step stool. For indoor use only.

Directions (To set up):

•	Place all parts onto the floor, pairing the left and right panels and stair parts.
•	Place the right panel on the floor with the Pet Gear logo facing the floor.
•	Insert the top stair panel with the rug facing upward. The straight edge of the panel should be facing towards the back of the stair unit.
•	Insert the front cover of the top step into the right panel.
•	Insert one bottom step into the right panel.
•	Repeat the previous two steps twice.
•	Insert the rods into the right panel.
•	Before attaching the left panel of the staircase, make sure there are no gaps between parts.
•	Align all the holes on the left panel with the pegs from the right sides of the stairs.
•	Push left panel down to secure the steps.

Tip: If you experience difficulty inserting the parts try adding a little dish soap on the end of the peg before inserting.

How to Purchase the Right Size Pet Steps for Your Dog or Cat
•	Measure the height of the location to which you are to trying to give your pet access.
•	Allow for a few extra inches below the top of the surface you are trying to give your pet access to by purchasing steps that are slightly smaller (in height) than the piece of furniture.
•	Select a color that best matches or complements your décor.

Awesome Product! The item easy to take apart and put together. I like how I'm able to wash the mats on the steps. Overall my pet was able to utilize the steps and my family is satisfied. Thank you 1-800-Petmeds. 03/29/2012

Best purchase ever! My puppy would whine multiple times per night wanting to get on and off the bed which was just too high to leap from. I purchased these steps about 6 months ago and I cannot give them enough praise! They were some of the tallest steps that I could find online. Very sturdy and durable. The removable velcro carpet is great as well! My dog Jake is up and down these steps all day. It's a win-win for us both! 01/30/2012

GREAT BUY I have three beautiful babies and I do everything to make sure they are happy and healthy. I bought these steps to help them access higher places with more ease in the back patio and the garage. They just love them. My kids are so smart, I didn't even have to show them how to use them. I put it down and they started using it right away. Thank you 1800PetMeds! 01/03/2012

A "Must-Have" for all small dogs Have wanted these for the longest time and don't know why I waited so long. Easy to assemble--the pieces snap together like Leggos. The steps enable Bella to climb up to the bed and back down whenever she wants! We even made a little video and posted it on her facebook page and on YouTube, so you can see Bella Pomeranian, the current star of the 1-800-PetMeds commercial on TV, demonstrating how quickly she learned to use them. Thanks, PetMeds! 12/31/2011

Will these steps work for the rear (cargo) area of a big SUV (Yukon)

I have a 6 almost 7 year old Timber wolf who is my baby.....we just spent a small fortune having both his right and left ACL's completely reconstructed @ OSU....which was every penny of our tax return and then some..but $ well spent. He is on week 2 of second surgery and already feels like he's a pup again (which just brings tears to my eyes) b/c in 2008 2 yrs after we got my Wiley Bear we had to have our 13 yr old German Rot put done due to mouth cancer :( We purchased a large extending ramp for him to get into my truck but he wanted no part of it...now we are having the same problem w/ Wiley I don't know if its the incline (its pretty severe) b/c both dogs are/were 125 and Wiley is 150 so I think it scared them..I saw these steps and thought why not he goes up and down steps @ home all the time. So my ? is will the 4 step support 150+ weight limit for him and I will measure the floor to the lift for the height answer...Sorry this is so winded but he's my BABY and he <3's to go to work and well just about every where w/ me....but in the last year has not been able to b/c it takes my husband and I to lift him into the truck...which needless to say is a back breaking chore. So PLEASE any suggestions...comments....ideas....would be soooooo appreciated :) Thank you all in advance :)
Sincerely,
Courtney

This is a tough question. I hate to admit this but I weight a little over 150 pounds so I put my weight on the first few steps. My dog is small so that wouldn't help you. The steps handled the weight but I'm not sure they advertise that these can handle that much. I threw the box away a while ago. I would definitely measure the height you need because I think you want the steps to come up even with the top of your SUV. I just know my dog did a lot better being level with the top of my bed.

I think this would work for your dogs. There are 4 steps and each step is about 9 inches high and 16 inches wide. At their highest point, the steps are 30 inches tall. They have a carpet piece on each step that is securely velcro'd to the stairs. It helps my dog climb without slipping. My dog is a 13-lb malti-poo and my vet said I needed to limit her jumping on and jumping off from high places. At first she was kind of scared of the steps, so I put her on them and showed her how to use it. Now she loves it! It is a fairly sturdy piece, but when you back the stairs up against something (like a bed), I think that gives them even more stability. I think you should order it and try it. you can always return it if it doesn't work for you.

Wiley Bear, great question. The more appropriate product for an SUV is the Dog Ramp: http://www.1800petmeds.com/Dog+Ramps+for+Cars%2C+SUVs%2C+and+Trucks-prod468148.html
The ramp is better suited to be anchored to an SUV, the steps are designed for indoor usage.

The dimensions of the steps are 16 x 9 and the removable pads are 12 x 7. I like the pads because it helps my dog to grip the steps and not slip.

Yes, the sides of the piece are enclosed. The back of the stairs is not enclosed and neither is the bottom of the piece except that there are 2 stability bars on the bottom and 2 stability bars on the back of the piece.
