Have you purchased a set of pet stairs for your dog, or are you considering doing so? You should know that you can get much more out of your steps than simply a means to help your dog safely access your furniture. We’re going to talk about just a few of the things we use our pet stairs for on a daily basis.
Dog stairs are most often used to assist your pet on and off of furniture such as beds, chairs, and couches. Did you also know that there are portable pet steps available? These come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials to accommodate all breeds of dog. Some portable pet steps are made of an ultra durable yet lightweight foam capable of holding up to 300lbs, depending on the brand/supplier. Not only can these steps be used in your home, but you can also take them outside to help your pet get on and off of a raised porch or to an SUV or tuck. There are pet steps specifically designed for loading your pet into a vehicle. They can be made of lightweight metal or plastic and vary in height to accommodate most vehicle heights.
Portable pet stairs aren’t the only steps capable of being used for different purposes. Many standard indoor dog stairs are capable of much more than simply providing a safe way for your pet to ascend and descend to furniture. Have you ever thought of scooting the stairs near a window so your dog can see what’s going on outside? This is perfect for smaller breeds as it allows them to satisfy their curiosity. Depending on the weight limit of your steps, you can even use them to make your chores a little easier, like changing light bulb. Be sure that you find out the precise weight capacity from the manufacturer rather than testing your weight on the stairs (you don’t want to get injured!). Don’t be afraid to use your imagination and get the most out of your pet stairs!
