I have a basset hound and regular steps don't work for her short legs and long body. This is perfect
for her. My other steps she could go up, but not down. These she can go up and come back down.
Only drawback is the material. In the picture it looks like it might be suede. But it's a canvas material and when she first
steps on it, she slides off. I ended up putting a terry cloth towel on it and it she doesn't slide.
