Review on 🐾 Extra Wide Pet Gear Easy Step II by Melissa Shoulders

We got this for our 75 pound 12 year old German Shepherd after she jumped out of a car one day and twisted her back. I chose these steps over the ramp because I was concerned I wouldn't always park somewhere with enough room behind the car to use the ramp. With them, you really only need 3 feet or so (less if your dog wants to and can turn when stepping forward). In our car (station wagon), the steps can be used to climb into the luggage compartment or the back seat and placed in the back seat for storage. The steps are mostly hollow at the bottom; Also as we live in a place that gets snow in the winter I think this is actually a plus because you can press them against the snow to make sure they are stable before the dog has to use them. I don't think it would be a good idea to use them on the ice, but not on the ramp either. They were easy to put together (see other reviewers' posts about smearing the joints with some dish soap) and easy for our dog to use, although we have to keep him on a leash as he still thinks he's agile enough to get around to jump here . Finally, I think that even if she loses more mobility, they will still be useful because even if we have to help her mount, it's still easier than trying to lift her straight in the back.
