Many leading veterinarians recommend Puppy Stairs, as even the healthiest pet is susceptible to joint or spinal injuries due to jumping. Many breeds with long spines, short legs, sensitive bones or joints, or overweight bodies are at substantially higher risk. The spongy ramp and step systems from Puppy Stairs reduce the risk of injury by absorbing much of the impact shock and reducing your pet's need to jump up or down from sofas, beds, and higher furniture.
Puppy Stairs steps and ramps help dogs prone to hip problems such as arthritis, joint and spinal problems, invertebral disk disease, kneecap problems, bone wobblers syndrome, congenital bone defects, bone craniomandibular osteopathy, bone tumors, cancer, diabetes, and Cushing's Disease.
Small dog breeds (such as Dachshunds, Beagles, Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Terriers, Malteses and Pugs), as well as elderly dogs and cats find Puppy Stairs indispensable.
Our steps and ramps help pet owners too! With Puppy Stairs you won't need to lift your pet up and down. Even if you have physical limitations of your own and should not be lifting your pet, your pet will now have the means to get up or down without your help.
Each piece is made of a durable, high-density, lightweight, cushiony industrial foam that absorbs shock. This rugged, durable material is rated for heavy use and is strong enough to support the weight of a human adult. Puppy Stairs are crafted from the highest quality materials and are built to last for the life of your pet. All our steps and ramps are completely modular and fit together easily and quickly using Velcro fasteners. They require no heavy lifting; cubes are 2 pounds each, and even the heaviest ramp section is a mere 4 1/2 pounds. The pieces store away easily in closets, car trunks and motor homes. The stylish removable covers come in a choice of 2 different fabrics and a variety of colors, and are machine washable. Non-skid "scoot pads" for use on slick floors are available separately.
Puppy Stairs are usually shipped within 48 hours of ordering.
Vet Testimonials
Vets know that Puppy Stairs can be a valuable, preventative pet health care tool for at-risk pets and an important healing and rehabilitative aid for elderly, injured or sick pets. Ask your veterinarian how Puppy Stairs could benefit your pet.
"When small dogs with arthritis and neurologic conditions hyperextend and hyperflex their back and hips, they can experience increased pain short-term. In some cases this activity can produce an exacerbation of the current medical condition. Your product offers an easy alternative for clients who have pets that cannot easily get up onto their favorite spots anymore due to arthritic or neurologic conditions. The Puppy Stairs can provide great relief for the pets and the clients. It allows these pets to live a more normal life with arthritis.
I was also very impressed by how stable and well built the cubes are. You have really put a lot of thought into the production of this product.
I have your information at my office and have recommended the Puppy Stairs to several clients..."

"Puppy Stairs is just what the doctor ordered to help animals with spinal injury move freely up and down from higher places."

"The Puppy Stairs modules have made a significant improvement in the quality of life for my geriatric poodle Choco. Choco's declining eyesight and hearing made him seek the additional security of being close to his 'human pack' on the sofa and the bed, yet progressive arthritis in his shoulders made the once-effortless feats of jumping up and down from both pieces of furniture stressful and painful events. Indeed, he was being lifted up and down as much as possible.
Puppy Stairs was the answer! Choco quickly learned to use the stairs. The mobility benefits in moving vertically have been obvious as he is no longer fearful and stressed.
The neutral, attractive appearance of the stairs is an additional benefit to a great idea."
