My older pup loves the fact that we now have stairs for her to get on the bed. It was a struggle getting her up there myself, as she is a rather large dog. However, we can now tuck these stairs under the bed and pull it out at bed time and she walks right up woth plenty of space on both sides. I love how lightweight it is. And how easy it is to store out of the way when not in use. This is perfect for all dogs.
