It's the right size, but we will see if my dogs will use it.  I have a 15 year old and a new pup; neither are able to use it yet.  It's not as strong as I thought it would be.  I thought it would hold 200 lbs.  but I doubt it.  But my dogs are small.  It is not to be used by a person; dogs only, even though it looks like it could be.
