I don't think she was, she didn't even tell us she broke it LOL. She was cleaning our bedroom and she came out and asked for a step stool- Then after they left we were in bed watching Tv, I was sitting up and I saw Peanut try to jump up, once he put his paw on the bottom the whole plastic part of the bottom step fell apart- scared him to death LOL.

We got these because they have a bit of a sturdier build for its price. Animal Planet Wooden Pet Stairs - Bed Bath & Beyond I always think the ramps out there look so steep. I've seen someone that made their own that aren't as steep, but it was huge!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | It is so high maintenance over here, god help me. The 2 little ones (Marcel and Pfeiffer) will use the stairs up and down...we just have those cheap $10 ones from Walgreens. Yeah, I later bought these beautiful 4-step dark wood stairs for like $50 - they look SO nice and you guessed it, no one will use them . TURDS. With Wylie, he is categorically against all stairs and he will not inform us of his reasons. SO. After his knee surgery I tried about 18,000 different setups and he was just against all of them. Now I finally have this setup JUST for him, by our bed: small portion of yoga mat laid down for a 'landing pad', on top this and closer in to the bed I have 2 cinder blocks laid down on their sides which creates like an 8 inch landing/jumping platform to get up/down from the bed, on top of the cinder blocks I have a little carpet so he doesn't hurt his paws on the rough cinder. So, for ex, to jump down he lands on the cinder block platform, then goes down to the little yoga mat landing (rather than slippery wood floor right away), and then he's off. Yup, that's Wylie. Keep in mind when he used to eat kibble, he'd need old kibble that was sitting in his bowl 'hand-fluffed' by one of us before he'd eat that sitting-there-kibble. We'd have to pick up his bowl, make a big production of handfluffing his kibble, put bowl back down. So yeah, SUPER EASY and low maintenance over here. We're totally the alphas over here.

| I know. I was kinda mad she didn't, but oh well- they were only 10$ at CVS. I will probably go pick up another set until we figure out what to use. For what it's worth she did an amazing cleaning job!! I have never seen my house this clean..

| Hmm I have been looking online for a good ramp- it is either too big or too small! Maybe I will buy the 10$ at CVS today to hold us over and have DH make Peanut a custom ramp!! Then we can have it fit perfectly on the side of the bed, be able to be on the ground ( so he doesn't have to jump up on the ramp). For the good ramps they are like over $100- I think DH can make one for less than that.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I did a search all over the place before we bought those, that was the lower price, pet shops added another fifty or more dollars. So thank you for telling me about the other option, this must be something new within the last year or so.

| I found this one. Looks like it might work and it is a pretty good price Snoozer Scalloped Ramp - TheUncommonDog.com
