Paw Steps Large Easy Pet Ramp
Thursday March 31st, 2011
Our take: I like anything I don't have to assemble, but that's not the only reason I liked this. This is a ramp, not steps, and Fred liked it a lot except he would gain too much speed coming down the ramp; he sometimes looked like he was about to fall off the end but he never did. However, it's stable, wide enough for the dog to feel safe, and the carpeting can be removed for cleaning. If your dog weighs over 10 pounds, get the large size. It supports dogs up to 120 pounds.
The dogs weigh in: It is kind of a high angle for a dog with short legs, but quite stable. It was a piece of cake for him to use. Despite being ancient and fragile, Fred seemed to enjoy flying down the ramp at high speed; if he were younger he would have launched off for fun.
Cost: high
