| How many steps do I need?? Hi everyone! I am looking into buying a pet steps for Chloe. I need help since I can't decide how many steps I need. My bed is 25" High. So, do you think 4 steps is enough??? Or what kind of dimensions should I be looking for?? I don't want to order one online and realize it is either too high or short!! Thank you so much for all your advise and suggestion in advance!! |

| Our bed is really high also, and we purchased the stairs that had 4 steps. It's just the right size For a bed that's up that high, the stairs that have only 3 steps is not going to be nearly tall enough. The 4 step stairs we purchased at Petco, and the 3 step stairs we purchased at Linens n' Things.

BANNED! | I special ordered custom made pet steps because my bed is really high. It has 6 steps that are shorter then normal steps so they are easier to climb. It has leopard print carpeting on them to match my bed. My furbabies practically taught themselves to use it. |

| My bed is 26" and I have a 5 step. It ends at just the height of the bed..so you could get away with 4. They are so great!!

| I bought a three step, but it didn't work for the bed at all. It does work great for the couch. I have one for the bed now that my son custom made with more steps. So, I would say at least four steps...possibly five.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | My husband made a custom 2 step that has wide stairs so they can lay on them as well. Then we bought a foam ramp for the bed and that works great.
