I recently got a bed that is taller than a normal size bed. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem, but with a pug, it is. Molly was used to going in my bedroom when she wanted to sleep and getting on the bed- now she can’t do that. If she wants on my bed now, she stands in by it and barks at me. The barking doesn’t annoy me, but she is impatient and when she barks, she expects me to come NOW!! Plus, in her defense, pug’s should not be doing a lot of jumping- it tends to wear on their hips and they end up with hip troubles.
So… I have been looking for a solution to this problem. I googled dog steps and read extensively about the different brands and this Solvit PetSafe PupSTEP Plus Pet Stairs seems to be a great solution.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

They come in two different sizes- large and extra large. The large size steps only weigh 5 pounds and the extra large weigh 9 pounds.
