What we like: Rustic wooden appearance is attractive; easy to assemble

What we don’t: Steps may not be deep enough for some breeds

There’s no reason your dog stairs can’t be decorative, like these ornate yet durable pet steps for large dogs. These stairs are made from handcrafted wood; they have a classic appearance with a distressed wood grain finish and bold studded details that make it ideal for country or traditional-style homes. In addition to its antique appearance, this set of stairs is sturdy, with a weight capacity of 200 lbs. 

The high weight capacity means that it can also serve as a substitute step ladder for household chores. The step surfaces are non-slip, so your pet will always gain a solid foothold.

While assembly is required, it’s simple, and the manufacturer includes all necessary tools and hardware. At 17 lbs., this dog stair set is easy to move and store.
