I have a twelve year old Pug that is starting to slow down and has a hard time getting up on the couch and bed. These steps are lightweight and easy to move from the living room to the bedroom and fold up easy so they are easy to transport from room to room. There's pads that you put on each step that helps your pet more safely climb up and down the steps. The steps are nice and sturdy too so they don't wobble when my dog is going up and down them. I had another set of steps for my dog before these that were quite wobbly and my dog wouldn't use them he was afraid of them. These steps he feels much more confident on and uses them daily to get up and down off the couch and my bed. I am very happy these make it easier on my buddy to get around.
