| Remy with her new Doggie Steps (by Diannenet) We just received our doggie steps ordered from Diannenet. We love them.. and Remy is so happy because she can get up and off the bed all by her self!! The steps are very well made and Dianne is very helpful! I posted more info in the product review section.

YT 1000 Club Member | That really looks like a nice set of Steps ! I have a 5 Step Styrofoam Stair, which is covered in a fuzzy cloth. Works well for me, and it puts the last step almost on a level with the top of the bed. (I don't think my Bed is quite as high as yours looks) Even MY Female Becca @ 6.5 lbs, can make it easily. My Male Sneakers now 11.8 lbs, doesn't use them any more. I kinda use a rule of thumb, when setting up things like that. If they can't reach the level they're trying to with their front paws, when they stand up on their hind legs, then I set something up to give them a step or whatever they need.

| Those are lovely! Between Mina being a puppy and having 3 dogs that are 9 & 10 yrs old,I have been thinking about putting steps by our bed. Guess it will be time to go shopping again. |

| Very nice set of stairs. Good job Dianne [QUOTE= SWHouston I kinda use a rule of thumb, when setting up things like that. If they can't reach the level they're trying to with their front paws, when they stand up on their hind legs, then I set something up to give them a step or whatever they need.[/QUOTE] Me too. We found a small leather bench to put at the foot of our bed so it's just two small hops for Sophie to reach the bed or the floor.

YT 1000 Club Member | MI Yorkie, Being creative, can save you a lot of money. Those Stairs I have weren't cheep, and I imagine what a wooden set cost $$$ ! Both mine like to look out the upstairs window, and run that mean ol Postman, and noisy Garbage Truck off regularly! A slimple... Ottoman to the Chair, then the Chair to the Night Table (covered now with a thick towel) then, from the Table to the Window Sill, gives them a good view. (that didn't cost a thing !) also... I use a simple Cardboard Box, to get My Female Becca, easily up on the Couch. When company comes over, I just push it under the Couch, and nobody knows it's even there. The thought being.... Look around, you'd be surprised just what you already have, which will work very well, and you don't have to spend a lot of money.

I wanted nice looking steps. I have seen some in the store a little less in price but they were not solid wood... they were partial board and if that ever gets wet it is ruined!! The workmanship on dianne's steps is great and they blend in with other furniture!

| Oh wow! They are very nice and look well made too. Remy looks like she is just loving her new stairs.

I like them!! I am going to have to check them out. We got ours from Petco and the base is just plastic. My husband ran into it one night and it split right down the side. They are still usable but I don't like the ugly crack! Remy looks adorable as always!!

That is why I went for the "good ones" I was afraid I would spend more in the long run replacing the ones I saw at the pet stores.
