Doggy Steps
Even though this is a site about Dog Ramps I feel it is equally important to include an article or two about Doggy Steps because of the role they can play in maintaining your pet’s health.
Pet Ramp Too Large?
Sometimes a large Dog Ramp is not practical like when you want your dog to climb into the back of your car or indoors when your animal wants to be able to climb up to their favorite spot on the couch without your help.
Doggy Steps To The Rescue
The solution is to get some Doggy Steps because they are lightweight, more compact and just plain easier to handle than a dog ramp. Plus, it can help protect you from back injuries from constantly bending over and picking up a large dog.

For small animals Doggy Steps are a must-have if you allow them to get up onto your bed, couch or chair.
Small Dogs Can Hurt Themselves
Sadly, most people don’t realize that each time a small dog like a Chihuahua jumps down from a high place they put stress on their delicate leg bones and over time this can lead to painful injuries like a bone fracture.
In fact, recently a friend of mine with a small Chihuahua told me that her dog hurt her leg when she jumped down from the couch and is now walking with a limp. She should get some Doggy Steps to prevent future injuries.
Older or overweight pets can also benefit from Doggy Steps because they make it so much easier for them to climb up and down.
How To Buy Doggy Steps
Before you buy your Doggy Steps you want to make sure that they will hold the weight of your pet and that they are the right height for the furniture you plan on using them with. You might need a small 2 step model or for higher places you may need to go with a 5 step model.
Also, make sure that the steps are wide enough for your pet to walk up and down comfortably because if they are too narrow or flimsy your dog will not feel confident on them and will not use them.
Doggy Steps are made of plastic, wood, metal or foam and some are carpeted which helps provide better footing for your canine friend. I would avoid any that do not provide adequate traction.
Most models come in several colors so you will be able to match your home décor and you might want to consider getting several to place around your home.
