Pet Gear Easy Step II Extra Wide Pet Stairs, 2-step/for cats and dogs up to 200-pounds, Tan

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  I have a nine-year-old overweight dog who recently started having issues jumping into the back of my crossover. I tried a ramp but it was flimsy and would move around when Willy tried using it. Plus, he kept sliding even with a sandpaper texture. Got these steps and he took to them immediately. I have included a video showing how easy it is for my 80 pound dog to use. And the steps are lightweight so easy for me to pick them up. Love these steps!!

Exactly what we were looking for! This step is wider version of the Step II (Pet Gear Easy Step II Pet Stairs, 2-step/for Cats and Dogs up to 75-pounds). We tried the original Step II first, and while my dog was under the weight limit, we didn't think about the width - and this matters for our bulldog who's stance is much wider than an average 50 pound dog. This "extra wide" version is 6 inches wider and it's perfect! I also love that this step is easy to move, light, but still feels really sturdy. My dog is not afraid of it, which he was a bit of the smaller step, he was just too big and wide stanced for it. My dog has a leg injury and it's hard for him to jump and he's not sturdy when climbing stairs, this step makes getting up on the bed or couch so much easier for him. I'm really happy with this purchase.

This is a savior for me and my dog!!! My darling boy had his right rear leg amputated because he broke it and when I took him to OSU Veternarians, it was discovered that he had Cancer (Vascular) that had Metastasized to his rear leg bone, making repair impossible, hence amputation only fix. I’m grateful that he has lasted as long as he has, 8 months and is still my “Sunshine Boy”. I love having him in bed with me and up until now I’ve been able to “hoist” him up to my bed with a sling under his rear. He’s an 85lb Labradoodle 💕🐾., 12 years old. My situation has changed and I’m having Spinal Fusion Surgery next month whiich will prohibit me from “housting” him up. I went on the “search” for his “Stairway to Heaven”. Since he’s a big dog and very clumsy, I needed two sets so he could maneuver up. These are wide steps and the rise is perfect to get him to the bench at the foot of my bed and then up to the bed. If you’ll notice, most of the stairs are for little dogs and are too steep and short. They are carpeted so he doesn’t slip-major factor for him so as not to break other leg which at the time of surgery was in good shape. I still need to steady him to get him up, and encourage him with the under belly hoist, but I don’t have to physically lift him. He will not go up on his own. He taps on the step to let me know he wants up (he doesn’t care if it’s 3am! M). This has been such a wonderful find for both of us as we don’t like sleeping alone. So glad I found these. The price was right on, very easy to put together, they snap together, the instructions were not clear as the lettering on the pieces was off, but I had no problem doing it by myself after I looked st the pictures. They are light weight so I can take them out to my car to help him up too. Good purchase for us!!

I've waited over a month to write this review. After searching for ramps and steps I took a chance on the Pet Gear Easy Step II Extra Wide in hope that my dog would be comfortable using it. The specifics are: the dog is a large breed, 112lb 9 month old puppy (Irish Wolfhound) and the car is BMW X5. We stopped lifting the puppy into the back passenger seats at 6 months...she was getting too heavy. However we didn't want her to jump out on her own as the height is over 3 ft. and the tender growing joints could suffer from the constant impact. Also, being a senior, I didn't want something heavy to lift, and expand every time we used it. The ramps also seemed to need extra room at the side of the car, a problem at the tight parking spaces at our dog park.Results are that this product exceeds our expectations. The dog immediately used the steps to simply walk into the car. It took a week or so before she was comfortable walking out unaided. At first, I had to "guide" her to use the step going out...still, no more lifting on our part.Best of all, it's sturdy...our dog will eventually reach 150 +/- lbs and the stairs will easily accommodate her. AND they'll fit at the side of the car within a normal parking space...no extra space needed as for a ramp. AND it's so light that I can lift it into place and store it at back of car with one hand while the other holds the leashed dog.

We got this for our 12 y.o. 75 lb shepherd mix after she jumped out of the car one day and wrenched her back. I chose these steps over a ramp because I was worried that I wouldn't always be parked somewhere where there was enough space behind the car to use a ramp. With these, you really only need 3 feet or so (less if your dog is willing and able to turn as they step up). With our car (a station wagon) the steps can be used to climb into the cargo area or the back seat and are able to fit in the back seat for storage. The steps are basically hollow on the underside; since we also live in a place that is snowy in the winter, I figure this is actually a plus because you can press them down into the snow to make sure they are steady before the dog has to use them. I don't think they'd be a great idea to use on ice, but neither would a ramp. They were easy to assemble (see other reviewers' posts about lubricating the connections with a little detergent) and easy for our dog to use although we have to guide her with the leash since she still thinks she is spry enough to jump in and out. Finally, I think they will continue to be useful even as she loses more mobility because even if we have to assist her up them, it's still easier than trying to lift her straight into the back.

We've been having to lift our 60kg Newfoundland in and out of the car as she suffers from severe arthritis and we've tried ramps, but she would not use them. A friend suggested these steps and we have not looked back, after a few attempts we now no longer have to lift the dog in or out of the car. We wish we had considered using these steps a long time ago. The only downside to them is their size, once assembled, that's it, they do not fold down and cannot be taken apart easily. None the less, these steps have really helped us. Thanks

We use this with our large, old, dalmatian to get in and out of the car (she won't use a ramp). IT is bulky to cart about, and takes up half the boot (stepway). But this really does help her in and out of the car, and i think was wrth the investment.

Fantastic.My arthritic 12 year old lab, would not use a ramp to get into the car.After a few days of coaxing he uses these steps no issues at all.

Very durable and always keep in the back of the car for my dog. I did add extra carpet to the sides of the steps.

Excellent product well worth the money takes my 45 kilo dogs weight easily used instead of a ramp in and out of car as he wont use a ramp extra width seems to have made the difference
