Outdoor Pet Steps and Ramps

In addition to outdoor pet steps we also carry dog ramps that serve the same or similar purposes and are suitable for outdoor use as well. You may want to consider a ramp instead of outdoor pet steps if your dog or cat has trouble going up or down stairs.

We carry outdoor pet steps made by Solvit that are contructed from tough, weather-proof plastic. Even though these are categorized as outdoor pet steps they are also suitable for indoor use. (But if you have hardwood floors you may want to also order optional non-skid feet to prevent slippage.)

When used indoors these models are useful in helping your pet get up on a bed or a chair; outdoors they can help your pet get into your car, truck or SUV. Another feature of Solvit outdoor pet steps is that they are collapsible, so they are easy to transport and store.

We also carry outdoor pet steps as well as ramps for dogs that like to play in the water (and what dog doesn't?). You'll find models for swimming pools, boats and docks. Have you ever tried to pull a big dog out of the water and onto a boat or dock? It's risky business for both people and pets because injuries can easily occur.

Outdoor pet steps that are designed specifically for swimming pools are an important safety feature. These steps are visible from a dog's vantage point while treading water. A lot of pools already have steps, but they are under water. Dogs can't see underwater pool steps when they are treading water and their head is just barely above the water line.

Even feral animals that accidentally get into swimming pools have been known to make a safe exit using outdoor pet steps and dog ramps for pools. Again, it is because these products can be seen by animals that have an extremely limited line of vision while treading water.

If you determine that outdoor pet steps may not work for your dog as well as a ramp, you might consider our attractive wooden ramps made by Doxie. For a nominal additional charge you can order Doxie ramps made from pressure-treated wood (no stain) with a walking surface covered with waterproof and mildew-proof turf.

A lot of people keep outdoor pet steps in their garage so they can be used to help their dog to get in and out of a vehicle. If that is your plan, be sure to check the weight of the product to be sure it's not too heavy for you to maneuver.

In addition to outdoor pet steps and ramps we also carry other affordable pet steps including collapsible pet steps, designer pet steps and many other styles.
