Pet Stairs For Tall Beds
It can be nice to cuddle with your dog while laying in bed, but if you have a smaller breed, getting on and off the bed can be tricky, and sometimes, dangerous. Pet stairs for tall beds allow your favorite pooch to climb up, get a snuggle, then climb down, all by itself. They come in an array of carpeting options to match your existing bedroom carpet, if aesthetics are important.

Pet stairs for tall beds help ailing or senior pets, especially those with hip and/or joint problems. They are designed mainly for indoor use, unlike dog ramps that help dogs move in and out of vehicles. Manufacturers, thankfully, exert an effort at making appealing pet stairs for tall beds that are eye-catching and practical at the same time.
Before you decide on the product that is suitable for your darling pet, you must first assess the difficulty level your dog is experiencing when climbing stairs. Seriously impaired dogs find smaller steps to be difficult to climb into. If this is the case, then it's better if you use dog ramps instead.
If you think your dog can use pet stairs, then keep on reading as we've written a guide to help you choose the best product for your pet.
- Size and Step Count - As an owner, you must know the abilities and aptitudes of your pet to climb stairs. It is, therefore, a no-brainer for you when it's time for you to decide on how high the steps will be. The height of each step has a direct impact on the number of steps the pet stairs can have. If your dog can't climb 3 very high steps, go for 6 smaller steps.
- Inclination - A more vertical inclination can be harder for dogs to climb. If your goal is to prevent your pet from experiencing joint diseases in the future, the inclination of the stairs won't matter. However, for old and/or sick dogs, you must choose flatter pet stairs for tall beds.
- Grip and Padding - Lots of models come with a padding made of soft sheepskin. For those that don't, they come with a non-skid texture that prevents dangerous slips and trips. Choose the type that would be more comfortable for your dog to walk on.
- Width and height - Larger dogs require larger and wider pet stairs for tall beds. Small and medium-sized dogs don’t need wider stairs, but you must ensure the steps aren't too tall or else they won't be able to access a bed with ease.
- Materials - The materials that have been used in making the stairs must be durable and easy to clean. Hard plastic would be your best option, but wood looks more luxurious.
Other Factors to Consider:
- Maximum weight a product can support
- Foldability
- Storage
- Ease of assembly
- Portability
- Stability when it's set up
- The steepness of the slope
- Number of steps
- Type of material
- The height of each step
- Style
- Your budget
Once you've decided on the features of your pet stairs for tall beds and you've narrowed down your options that will give you an idea that you'll ultimately be able to choose the perfect stairs for your four-legged friend. Of course, you need to keep all the points that we've talked about in mind. Time is of the essence when it comes to buying pet stairs as you would want to protect your pet as soon as possible.
