These steps have actually been a very big help to my older pup, he has trouble jumping on the bed now that he's gotten older. They work great and they are very easy to store, even my younger pups like to use them to walk up and down and get on the bed. I highly recommend anyone with and older dog or cat that has trouble jumping up or getting down, to buy you a set of these. They easily fold up and slide right under your bed or wherever you prefer to store them, they don't take up much space and you can use them for a variety of different things for your animals.
