Revainrating 4 out of 5

Love the idea but not for big dogs!

I feel so bad I'm even writing about my beloved 13 1/2 year old black Labrador Retriever's experience with this product. for a while and somehow i thought it might help. (Yes) Kona used to have a standard sized 3-step cat claw ladder that seemed to work well for her (Kona). I thought I would be of some help to her with these "gentle" steps (literally). not figuring out how to climb onto her royal dog sofa; They were clearly made for dogs with (much) shorter legs as she slipped on the floor and slipped back. She tried so hard to make them work. After a few hundred tries (okay, so it seems) she just looked at me with those sad puppy eyes; I thought we were both going to cry now. She "told me" that she was sorry; I told her it was all my work and we hugged (seriously). In the next few minutes, I made her catwalk stairs even better than before. She went straight up the steps to her throne and dropped with an "Aaaah". I gave her some treats to make up for my wrongdoing and rechecked this and other ladders to see if I might have bought the wrong size. no I'm still giving this actual product a decent rating because I genuinely think it would work well for a small dog. The steps are fairly light, they fold for easy storage and transport, and they have a modern look that many others don't have. I wish they were made for bigger dogs too. OK. Catwalk and CBD oil for now. Kona seems to be quite happy so far. Update-12/20: Kone is now 14-3/4. She forgave me, as all labs do almost immediately. Always the same old carpet steps. She explores the ramps to ease her way (sometimes literally) to her throne. We made it! OK, not really. We have invested in our vet recommended Help 'Em Up Harness which has made a world of difference over the past few months. retriever size. Sniff) Update 9/3/21: • Kone 15-1/2. • To the manufacturer: PLEASE make for large dogs! Either fewer steps with more tread or a strong ramp! I love your product and would love to see more inclusion for larger, aging dogs who can live longer, happier lives if they can just stand up without hurting themselves.
