Finding Steps For Your Pet

Whether you love a tiny dog to cuddle in your lap and carry around with you, a large dog you can gambol around with, or the dependability of the wagging tail of your older dog, finding the right dog ramps and steps is an important part of pet maintenance.

Dog stairs can be a terrific solution to many disabilities or conditions that ail dogs of all breeds and ages, such as dysplasia, obesity, and arthritis. Dog steps can enable your pet a level of freedom you both will have thought long gone.

First, be careful about the dimensions of the stairs. Just as there’s no one-size-fits-all dog, there’s no one-size-fits-all style of dog steps. If you have a small breed of dog weighing less than 20 pounds, get steps that measure 12 inches wide. For medium-sized dogs (those weighing under 35 pounds), choose steps 14 inches wide. Dogs larger than 35 pounds can use steps that are 16 inches wide. Many sites sell both small dog steps and large dog steps.

The next item to take into consideration is the height of the steps. Smaller dogs generally have shorter legs, therefore each step’s height should be shorter, but the overall height of the stairs should be tall enough to reach your bed, couch, or other desired furniture. Larger dogs should have stairs whose steps are a bit taller so they don’t trip over small, more frequent steps.

Dog steps particularly intended to bedside use should range between 17 to 29 inches high, again depending upon the height of your pet and the length of his legs.

Last, but certainly not least, you’ll want to make sure the steps you buy are made of good quality materials. While plastic steps can work okay for smaller dogs, they are partial to damage caused by both hot and cold temperatures and usually degrade in quality a lot faster than wooden or metal steps. You can also choose a style of finish which matches your décor, such as mahogany wood or specific color of carpet.

Investing in a good set of pet stairs will give both you and your pet a new lease on mobility!
