Perfect steps to get my dog ​​in the pool!

So I use these steps in a very different way to most people. My dogs don't climb my furniture, but my 14-year-old golden retriever has always loved swimming. Our old house had an inground pool and she loved it. As she ages and her hind leg muscles become thinner, I figured hydrotherapy would be the best option for her. Do cardio exercises and use your back legs more without weight. We live in the country and the nearest dog therapy spa is about an hour away so I built my own. The problem was putting it in a small above ground pool. I bought a ramp first - the ramp was ok but she was very uncomfortable as she was not used to ramps - but she was very used to steps - and after just one persuasion she climbed the steps and into the pool like a champ ! I tried again the next day and no convincing was required - well, I just showed her a tennis ball and threw it in the water. The steps are AMAZING! Will get another set to put them in the pool to get them out. These are the tallest steps I could find and at 30 inches they are perfect for a 30 inch pool. I stand right next to the steps to make sure she doesn't fall over as my only complaint with a larger dog is that they are too narrow but gosh they are amazing for us! Definitely recommend for all occasions - we will use them to pack in the truck when we go somewhere! I'm not sure how long they'll last us given the elements I'm also exposing them to, but even if they just last for the swim season I'm very happy.
