This doggie step ladder stool is awesome for the little pups with length challenged legs.  My little girl loves it! I never need to pick her up and she loves her independence.  Whats great is the entire unit has a zip on and off feature which makes cleaning up a huge benefit.  If you have hardwood floors, as do I, be advised that you must use a nonskid device to keep it from sliding. BTW, my 3 elderly kitties also love using their new step ladder.
