Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | We have these that we got at Bed, Bath, & Beyond on sale for $14.99. They are ok, but not too tall. We use them so KS can get up and off of the couch. I need taller ones for our bed if we choose to do that. We have a tall bed. These are portable and we like them though. Can't beat the price too. Animal Planet Pet Stairs - Bed Bath & Beyond (they are on clearance for $12.99 now.) They are perfect for a Yorkie since they are lighter, but I don't think these would be good for a really heavy dog. But they work for us. Hope that helps some!

| Thanks, I looked at them but i really need them to be a little taller tho. Right now I have a bench at the end of our bed and he uses that but he also has LP so i dont want him jumping so much.

| I built a free standing ramp for mine, was easyer than I thought, covered it with foam and fabric, she gets so much use out of it, it was worth it. She'll slide down it when she's lazy and needs to go potty and when shes hyper she uses it as a toy, she'll take a ball to the top of the ramp, nudge it with her nose , fetch with herself lol,plus she'll have it for life,easy on the hips when she gets older |

My furkids Donating Member | I have been looking for stairs too....I need them 3 feet high...Not very inexpensive!! I was going to make some out of foam...to get blocks of foam would cost more than to buy them....I was also thinking a ramp would work..

| Amazon.com: Pet Gear Easy Step III Pet Stairs,... This is the one I have in my bedroom for Gracie. They are plastic with a carpet cover on them to keep the pet from slipping. I notice the price increase since I purchased them. They work fine. I had to teach her how to use them when she was a puppy. She thinks she is just "all that" being able to get up and down by herself. |

| Just make sure you measure how tall they are they come in 2,3,&4 step high. They all have different measurements. Sometimes they appear quite high but are only 13". I had to do a lot of searching. I thought I would want something made out of wood but realized that they are heavy and harder to move around for cleaning under. |

YT 2000 Club Member | My husband actually hand made ours for our lil girls, Mags is the only one who uses them though, Jazzie thinks she has wings and flies off the bed. Wished she wouldn't, but I can't stop her, she's so fast.

| Dog Steps - Dog Stairs - Dog Steps for Beds - Fast Shipping! I have two sets of wooden stairs covered in carpet. I don't trust her going up the foam stairs at a run and not knocking them over and getting hurt. That would defeat my purpose, so I invested in something that is safe and very sturdy. They last a lifetime, so I think it is a wise investment as well.
