Cheap Puppy Stairs Just a heads up, I noticed that puppy stairs sell for an insanely high amount of money on a few websites. Bender feels like the poor dog in the neighborhood. He has this cheap little step-stool from wal-mart. You can get it for about 5 bucks. Bender is pretty small, weighing 4#, and we have a very high sleigh bed, but he is still able to hop right up the stairs without a problem! Just thought I'd mention it for those of us that don't have $60+ lying around for cushy stairs :rolleyes: |
How many steps is it and how high? |
It is 3 steps...I'd say perhaps a little less than 2 feet high. |

The real beauty of these are .... you can make them sturdy/safe .... when you get ready to pack you can [a] use them to pack stuff in or [b] toss them in the dumpster!! ;) One more handy idea .... when we are in a hotel, we just take what we need from our suitcases and stack them by the bed and the little princess has her little stair!! Sometimes we use the extra pillows!! It's all just an adventure!! ;) |
Do you have a picture of it? I am getting a puppy in 3 weeks and I have a very tall antique bed as well. I am so nervous about letting her sleep with me because I am afraid she will either fall off or try to jump off and hurt herself. Do you have to train them to use the stairs? |
I've also heard people buying those children's steps/storage at the children's furniture section at Target. They're like $20. You might need to the top upholstered to your babies won't slip. I'm still debating whether i want Bambi to use them to climb up the bed. He has jumped off the bed couple of times, luckily he wasn't hurt. But i just don't konw whether he'll use them.... |
;) Thank's..they have cool ones with storage.. |
Cali was 9 weeks old when I got her and she would try to junp off the bed, we put cushions and pillows and crates on the bed but it was a real pain. She would try and jump over, go under anything to get down. So we ordered these 5 step stairs from the internet for 70.00 and she could get up but they were to steep and the stairs to narrow that she would start down and fall. Then my hubby remembered he had made stairs for our last Yorkie years ago and found them in the attic. We put them next to the bed, they are great because he made them wide but not too high. Cali learned within 2 days to only go up and down the stairs. At 18 weeks now she has never tried to jump off the bed. When I first put the stairs there I worked with her several times a day by saying up- to go up the stairs and down to go down. Now when shes tired and I'm in the other room she will just go off and get up on the bed and fall asleep. Stairs are definately the way to go. Saves their poor knees |
