You’ll find pet steps for beds that feature as few as two steps and as many as eight steps, which make perfect pet stairs for high beds. We offer carpeted pet steps as well as pet stairs with a soft, luxurious Sherpa cover. With so many options you are sure to find one that is the perfect height for your pet’s needs.
And what is the perfect height? That depends on the health of your dog. If a healthy pet needs steps to get up on a bed, for example, most manufacturers recommend that you choose a set of pet stairs that IS NOT equal in height to the bed.
Instead, choose a set that is at least 1 step height below the bed. However, if a pet is injured or handicapped, then a set of steps that are flush with the height of the bed would be more appropriate. In fact, you may even want to look into a pet ramp instead of stairs if your pet experiences discomfort climbing up or down stairs.
You’ll discover that some models of pet steps for beds are wider than others. A wider product provides more walking area and can be easier to use for larger dogs or timid dogs who would feel more confident with a wider step. Either way, note the height of each step to be sure they aren’t too high for your dog.
If you have a dachshund, an 8 inch step would be too high for his or her little legs. America’s Pet Store carries products with a wide range of step heights so you should have no trouble finding a set of pet steps for beds that are just the right size.
Most carpeted pet steps are made with plywood covered with plush yet durable commercial-quality carpeting. We’ve also included pet stairs covered in soft, luxurious Sherpa. Even though they are not covered in carpet, they are great for beds! Our Sherpa-covered pet steps for beds are made of low-impact, high-density polyurethane foam. Low-impact foam is lightweight, easy on pets’ joints, and easy for you to move from place to place. These foam products, however, are not recommended for aggressive dogs or dogs that are big chewers.
If you are looking for dog ramps for beds, Americas-Pet-Store.com carries a large selection! Please check out our Scamp Ramps line for a foam dog ramp or our handmade in the USA wooden bed ramps for dogs. Each of these wooden indoor dog ramps is made from birch plywood and stained in a color of your choice, ranging from a clear polyurethane coat to a dark mahogany stain. A dog ramp for beds can be made out of a variety of materials but most people choose one that matches their home decor.
Today’s modern advances in healthy pet foods and veterinary care means our pets are living longer. To help protect pets from age-related joint health issues, it’s a good idea to reduce or eliminate activities that put undue stress on bones and joints. Ramps or pet steps for beds (or any other high spot) is one way to help prevent, delay or minimize the aches and pains that often come with aging.
In addition to ramps and pet steps for beds we also carry other affordable pet steps including collapsible pet steps, designer pet steps and many other styles.
