Pet Stairs: The Safest Option For Your Pet

by Bella Holly

Many of us don't mind snoozing with our pet snuggled on our bed next to us. In fact, it can be a huge comfort to have your guard dog curled up at your feet while you rest. But have you ever wondered about the toll that jumping up and down from the bed must have on your dog's joints? (http://www.helpyourpets.com/petsteps.html) Dog steps for beds are the perfect solution to keep your dog from hurting himself.

Smaller breeds of dog are particularly in need of dog steps as it is not uncommon for a small dog to break or fracture his leg by jumping off a tall bed or couch. Older dogs or large dogs with a hip or arthritis condition would definitely benefit from a dog stairs as there would be no severe impact to the joints.

However, choosing (http://www.helpyourpets.com/petsteps.html) dog stairs is different from choosing other types of pet furniture, as many people prefer both practicality and pleasant appearance in their steps.

First, you probably want to consider how well dog steps will match the decor of your bedroom.. Unlike dog steps for vehicles, for instance, it's unlikely that you're going to be moving your dog's bed steps. That means you can choose steps in more stable styles and materials, such as a wood that complements your bedroom suite. Some dog steps for beds have compartments in the treads, so you can keep your dog's favorite toys or blankets close by.

Next, dog steps for beds are built higher than other dog steps because beds are typically higher. Pet steps intended to reach beds can measure from 17 to 29 inches, depending on your type of pet. Remember that the smaller your pet is, the higher the steps have to be for them to reach your mattress.

Aside from these factors, choosing dog steps for beds is the same as selecting steps for other purposes. You'll need to know your dog's size in order to choose the right kind of bed steps for it in width, height and the steps' ability to hold the dog's weight. These qualities are typically explained on the product label. - 20511
