| Best pet stairs? I purchased the "Deluxe Doggy Steps" awhile ago and I'm not fond of them. Does anyone have any other recommendations?? I'm hoping for something sturdier and larger. Thanks!

| I can't help out at all - we have some similar and they are kind of cheap. Best steps we ever had, hubby constructed for Jack out of cardboard boxes. They were "disassembled" when we moved, so we ended up with the other ones and honestly, Jack and Izzy would rather jump than use them. I'll be following to see if any one else has any suggestions.

| We have a small set of plastic snap together steps that are covered with a washable cover. Bought them at Petsmart. The yorkie that uses them is small....4lbs. 4oz. she does not do jumping very well. She lived in a cage for 9 years and had little exercise . Her legs are getting stronger now, but she likes the small steps to get up on the sofa. Took her about a week to learn how to go up and down them. |

| The steps we have for Huey to get on the bed and on top of his crate (to see out the window) are fairly durable, plastic and light, but if they werent wedged between the bed and his crate, they would probably slide across the floor as my speed demon runs full tilt into and up them.

| I have the cheap 9.99 plastic snap together steps I picked up at Walgreens. They are pretty sturdy for Jada who is 5lbs10ozs..I do have them sitting on a non skid rug because they do slide on our wood floors. I attempted making my own steps out of wood but DH wouldn't help me hold them to screw the parts together...lets just say they died a quick death

| I dont remember the name of the scalloped foam wedge I bought off Amazon, I think that is where I got it....but I love mine...it is a ramp with a scalloped top going up the incline, for secure footing....has a "suede" removable covering for washing....my babies love it and they can go up and down with no hesitation or fear, trying to go down a step type arrangement....try googling "scalloped foam wedge ramp for dogs".... |

| if you are good with a glue gun and scissors you could buy a foam set and cover them in a fabric of your liking. I was given a set as a gift and I think they are very secure and don't move around much. I attached a picture of them for you to see.

| I bought mine at either petco or petsmart.... They are wooden... Sturdy. The steps are carpeted, and underneath the steps is storage! Love it!

| Here's an inexpensive one from Target. I actually used to have this one. It's not deluxe or anything, but definitely works great. http://www.target.com/p/as-seen-on-t...22565458039596

| Herr is a photo of some pet stairs that I bought from ebay 8 years ago. I also bought another smaller set last year from the same person on ebay for my living room. It is very sturdy and is carpeted. My cats also use it to sharpen their claws. |

| Animal Planet Wooden Pet Stairs - Bed Bath & Beyond His (our) bed is kinda high so I went with these steps. He goes up them great but continues to jump off - we're working on this.
