Bought this ramp/stairs to teach our new puppy to climb steps/walk ramp to get in our bed.  It's a lot easier to teach a puppy than an old dog with arthritis.  The idea is to make his life better in his old age.  Why not start now?
We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of this product.  It is attractive enough to leave out all the time and is as well built as our bedroom furniture.  Every dog owner should consider this product if you share your bed with your beloved pet.
