    17 Dog Stairs For When Your Fur Baby Needs An Extra Lift

    ~Step~ up your pet parent game and save your back (and your pooch's back too) in the process.

    1. A foam dog stair using mattress grade material to cushion your pupper's paws AND help them quickly steal your spot on the couch whenever you take a bathroom break.

    Each individual step is removable and the cover is machine washable.

    Promising review: "I bought two sets of these foam stairs in ash gray because they are so versatile, easy to maneuver, lightweight, and wonderful. They are very sturdy too. I have one set in my bedroom and one in my office so that my dog can see out the window from his comfy perch. The price point for these stairs is excellent too. I highly recommend this product because it will help prevent arthritis from developing in your pet's joints." —Emily

    Get it from Amazon for $50.99+ (available in three sizes and 17 colors).

    These pet products also have barking good results you don't want to pass on.

    2. A four-step dog stair so your furball can ~reach new heights~ without you having to lift a finger. Plus, it's foldable so you can easily store it away — what's *not* to love.

    The wooden material can support up to 200 pounds and has carpet covers to prevent any slips and slides.

    Promising review: "These steps have made a big difference. Our small dog is more independent now that she can access the bed on her own and jump off whenever she likes. Attractive patterns and the cover does remove for washing purposes (putting it back on is only a tad difficult)." —Paula

    Get it from Wayfair for $134.99.

    3. A high density foam dog stair smaller pups won't sink into, but instead will rate two paws up for comfortably getting them into their favorite spot in the house: your lap.

    The cover is removable and can be thrown in the wash once dirty.

    Promising review: "We have two dachshunds and we bought these pet stairs so they can easily get on and off the bed and couch. These stairs are sturdy enough for even the 22-pound boy, and you don't have to worry about stubbing your toe in the middle of the night since they're made of foam." —AFear

    Get it from Amazon for $29.25+ (available in five sizes).

    For the pooches that overheat, we've got these cooling dog beds too!

    Promising review: "These are perfect for my mini dachshund and corgi. VERY sturdy — and I have tried several different stairs. I like that the two step version fit in a weird, awkward, tiny spot exactly how I needed — and it matches my headboard, looks nice, and has a much smaller profile than those plastic stairs. My dogs definitely feel more comfortable using them." —Holly Gulbranson

    Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

    Don't miss out on these ~fur-bulous~ pieces of pet furniture.

    Bed cushion is machine washable and the bottom comes with nonskid materials to keep it from sliding when your pet uses it.

    Promising review: "We got this so our pup who loves to sleep on the top of cushions could get the same effect without ruining the couch. The bed that came with it wasn’t bad, but we are using a different one. Assembly took some time, but wasn’t difficult." —Brittaney

    Get it from Wayfair for $319.99.

    We've sniffed out of these dog products that your cart will definitely give you the side eye to buy.

    Can support up to 200 pounds and was designed with carpet covers to prevent slipping.

    Promising review: "It's SUPER sturdy, extremely easy to assemble, and folds up great! We have bought several stairs for our Siberian husky who has arthritis. The only problem is our Great Dane puppy (who is 10-months-old) would chew them up! Not these though! He may tower over everything in the house, but these little stairs beat him 💓." —patriot2061

    Get it from Amazon for $50.90+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

    7. rounded dog stair featuring plush cushy steps to swaddle your pet's paws in *so* much comfort they honestly might just curl up and nap on this instead.

    Recommend for dogs less than 60 pounds and comes with a machine washable cover.

    Promising review: "I have bought three over the past two years and I can't imagine life without mine. I bought two more as gifts for new small dog owners. Choosing steps is complicated but these ALWAYS work. The dog can simply WALK up them, no jumping required. They are the perfect sofa/bed height. Ingenious design and durable!" —Taschau

    Get it from Amazon for $85.99.

    8. A wraparound dog stair you can adjust into an L-shape or straight line to fit your needs. Plus, it comes with a SECRET (!!!) storage compartment in the back, making this one barkin' good contraption. 

    No tools required to assemble, just snaps together. It can also hold up to 75 pounds.

    Promising review: "Best doggy steps ever! I got these because one of my dogs has problems with her back legs, and she can fly up and down these to the bed. They don't shake and are very sturdy. It took her two days to take to them, but her sister went and up down them from day one. The one with leg issues is more cautious, but after two days she was running up and down them — sometimes she'll even nap on them LOL." —Sandra Sexton

    Get it from Amazon for $152.98+ (available in three colors).

    9. A portable dog stair with wide steps, so your doggo can always make a grand entrance into (and out of) your ride like it's their own private jet. 

    Made with an aluminum material and can support up to 150 pounds.

    Promising review: "I tried one of the ramps and this is so much better. My large 100 pound dog is more secure on it and it works better on the side rear door entry of my leveled pickup truck. Nice tight fold up with a handle. I'm a big fan." —TiV

    Get it from Amazon for $92.99+ (available in five sizes).

    10. A machine-washable set of dog stairs that requires NO assembly, making it that much faster for your pooch to get onto their erhmmmm, I mean your bed with total ease.

    The bottom features a nonskid design to prevent any slippage when they climb up.

    Promising review: "Just what I was looking for. I needed something that my yorkies could get up and in my recliner with my feet up. I had to keep putting my recliner down for them to get up, but these steps are perfect!!! I'm handicapped and sleep in a chair next to a twin bed, so this step a lifesaver for me and my babies." —Robin

    Get it from Wayfair for $93.99+ (available in six colors).

    11. A pine wood set of dog stairs your pooch will be pining to step on so they can continue to lounge in their favorite spots in the house.

    Can hold up to 110 pounds and has fabric covered stairs for added traction.

    Promising review: "No assembly required! I opened the box, pulled it out and voila! Ready to go. My mattress is slightly higher than most so typically doggy steps aren't tall enough. These are extra sturdy and fold easily. It took my Maltese one try (with no treats) to bound up and down the stairs. Happiness in both parties: him and me." —Teaching_Muzik

    Get it from Amazon for $67.99+ (available in three sizes).

I am beyond pleased with this product." —sandy

    Get it from Chewy for $41.56.

    Promising review: "These stairs are beautiful. I bought these for my son’s dog that stays with us on the weekends, and I was looking for something more esthetically pleasing than the typical plastic stairs. This one matches my bed pretty close, has three levels of height to adjust to, is beautifully made, and it’s very sturdy. It can be folded away, is easy to vacuum, and can be wiped clean. Sure, it costs more than most pet stairs but it’s worth every penny." —Karina D.
