Do you have a puppy that likes to sleep in your bed? Cuddling with them might be the best part of your day; however, you want to make sure that your dog is becoming more independent, and lifting them into your bed or their own isn't exactly accomplishing that mission.
Traditional Bedroom Design
That ends now. With a good set of dog stairs for tall bed applications, your dog can go wherever they like - even if they're a tiny puppy. These types of stairs for dogs can really help your pet learn about dexterity - and you'll also get the adorable pleasure of having your little dog run and come join you in bed when you're already down for the night (there's nothing better)!
Whether you want to help your dogs climb into your bed, their own, or you want to make a table or chair more accessible for them, getting a good set of stairs or a dog ramp for them to paw their way up will make your life - and theirs - a lot easier.
Wondering what to look for when you're investing in dog stairs for tall bed frames, mattresses, and more? Here are a few good things to keep in mind:
Think about the different types of animals that you have in your home. If you're purchasing these steps primarily for your dog, then you don't have to worry too much about the height of the steps. However, if you have a cat at home, too, that you want to be able to use these steps, choosing a set of steps with a lower rise is usually a good idea.
Make sure that you measure both the height of your bed and the amount of surrounding room that you have. Especially if your bed is on the taller side, a good set of dog steps can take up more room than you might think; so, before you purchase anything, definitely make sure that you have a good handle on the amount of room that you have to work with.
Do you want to be able to store your pet stairs away during the day? If there are times where you don't want your dog to have access to your (or their) bed, being able to fold the pet stairs under the bed or behind a door can be a great option (especially for small spaces). Look for portable or easily-storable options as you're browsing, if that's an application that you're interested in.
Each set of pet stairs will be rated for a different weight capacity. Here's a pro tip: Check to see what size your dog will eventually grow to be to have a good idea of what type of steps to buy. That way, even if your dog doubles in size, you'll still be able to use the same pet stair product.
Finally, consider the type of material you want to use. Different types of material are good for different applications: Some are washable, others store more easily. Do you want carpet pet stairs or wood ones? (Hint: Your home's aesthetic can also help you make this decision.)
